What's at the top of your wish list? →[More:]Me - a vacation, either adventurous or super relaxing. Some furniture for the cavernous new casa.

Motivation to exercise. Mah pants don't fit no more.

1. finding NON stick-in-the-mud-conventional business types who will help me grow my unconventional business vision & not tell me No every single second because they're either scared or because of their That's-Not-How-It's_Done bullshittery.

2. seconding the vacation.

3. for this stubborn cold to evaporate already.

Well, what are y'all gonna do with your big piles of money?

What else? Roll around in it.

I would like never ending travel vouchers. Actually, I just want to go to Portland and New England. Twice.

I'll set my sights low today:

- some good upholstery fabric, which is always more fun to find in a clearance bin or back-street fabric outlet.
- a bunch of ranunculus.
- new silicone spatulas.
- a little jolt of fresh inspiration --- just a little extra! --- to get my new writing project juiced up.
- lunch. Um, I guess at this point, that would be "dinner."

I would not say no to big piles of money.

A hamburger. Which is obtainable, but I'm not sure I feel like walking over there.

it might also be fun to stack it up like Unca Scrooge or Richie Rich.

buy clothes. wine. lots of shoes and a great looking wooden thing to arrange them in. Try to help out immediate and extended family with medical or other bills. That's a tricky one. ummm. ummm.. can you buy girlfriends? I'd look into that too. lol.

learn to play guitar. travel more. cook more. see more shows. um. do all sorts of ridiculous social climbing or attempt it by being in the middle or contours of everything.

A cure.

1. Buy a viola, and probably an oboe.

2. Save for when I'm too old to work, since no one seems to give a shit about me except me.

right this second? A foot massage.

Those Radius Source toothbrushes are pretty neat. And I think it's about time for me to get a new toothbrush.

But they didn't have 'em at the Whole Foods. And if I have to drive all over town to find one, or if I have to order one on the Internet, it kinda defeats the purpose.

More cash to buy ridiculous dance shit.

posted by sperose 04 March | 16:04

Lots and lots of money. Enough that I don't have to work.

And today much more than usual, one of those elusive good, stress-free relationships with someone who really gives a shit about me and vice versa.

Oooh. Ranunculus.

I would like for my house to magically clean and organize itself.

(With my pile of money, I'd go buy an old factory/warehouse the next town over, fix it up, install decent ventilation, partition it out, and turn it into space for local artists to have their studios at ridiculously sweet rents, or rent time on kilns, presses, forging ovens, etc, again at ridiculously sweet rents.)

To be finished enough with therapy so that I can start working on being healthy physically, too.

An intelligent monkey that can fill out my billing sheets for me. He would be so awesome, in his diaper, tracking my time.

A full-time job with benefits. And an Amazon giftcard so I can get more books for my Kindle!

posted by leesh 04 March | 19:32

Fine fine, bacon cheeseburger, fries and a chocolate milkshake. And a milllllllllion more pink cocktail elephants.

(Drinking that made me sleepy. And hungry.)

- lose *mumble* pounds
- lots of money so: the mister can retire, we can re-do our house or buy another one, buy a second car, travel

A coworking facility for freelancers in my town (i.e. a big space with desks and a coffee machine). I don't think I have the entrepreneurial ability to start one myself.

Peace.
Really.

Peace:
From personal peace of mind to peaceful coexistence of all folks in the world. I'm tired of turmoil and competition.
