Wishful Thinking (If We Won the Lottery)

Wishful thinking! But still, who doesn't daydream about the things they would do if they won? Here's what I have planned if we ever became millionaires:

I'd be thinking ahead. First things first! Get a living will made out, and buy our burial plots! That way, if by some freak accident, we happen to kick the bucket? Then we are covered, and our families won't have to pay the costs...

Next thing on the list is to get our teeth fixed! I'm not toothless, but I AM sick and tired of toothaches... Everyone in the family could use a good long trip to the dentist to get our teeth fixed up, pulled, polished, shined, whatever... Whatever it takes. Nothing is worse than toothaches!

We would also get full checkups to make sure that we are as healthy as can be, and to fix any problems, because I want to live a long, beautiful life.

Then we would pay off any and all debts, and get our credit scores up to par. There's a few hospital bills floating around out there with my name on them... It would be nice to be able to pay them off...

Next, we would probably have our dream home planned out. I've been building it on my Sims 3 game, because it's always nice to imagine it being real, and walking through it. Of course I didn't have enough lot space and had to improvise, but I have it all planned out in my mind :-) Now, if we could just get someone to build it as fast as they do on Extreme Makeover Home Edition! lol

Our dream home would include:
Living Room
Kitchen
Dining Room
Bedrooms
Bathrooms
Guest Rooms
Office/Library
Home Theater
Indoor Playroom (ball pit, slides, tunnels, swings, etc. for my daughter and her friends)
Game Room (with arcade games, pool, bowling, etc.)
Exercise Room/Gym
Indoor Basketball Court/Skating Rink/volleyball/tennis (rink would go around the court)
Workshop for Adam
Ice Cream Parlor/Snack Center (for the home theater)
Arts and Crafts room (for beading, sculpting, painting, sewing, etc, complete with a kiln)
Gallery (to show off our works of art)
Acoustic Room (so the sounds echo for my singing)
Recording Studio (soundproof room for recording)
Science Lab/Learning Center (for Tricity)
Meditation Room
Sauna
Solarium/Pool/Grotto (tropical indoor pool with a cave and waterfall)
Outdoor Pool/Grotto
Outdoor Cabana (for tiki parties)
Outside Kitchen Deck
Mud Hole (for taking a spa mud bath outside so the house wouldn't get dirty)
Center Courtyard (flower garden and fountain)
Mausoleum (a place to pay our respects and honor passed family members)
Green House (different sections for different heat temperatures with all kinds of vegetables)
Orchard (so I can have all the fruit I want!)
Gocart Track (because my brother wants it... lol)
Front Courtyard (for the grand entrance)
Barns/Coops/Pens/Farmland (so we can always have our own supply of fresh meat and dairy)
Zen Garden
Secret Garden
Ballroom/Party Room (for our big events, holidays, and parties)
Wine Cellar
Bee garden/Bee hives

that's about all I can think of for the moment... lol

The house would also be complete with solar power, wind turbines, and everything would be as energy efficient as could be. The goal would be to live off the land in a home that we wouldn't ever have to leave unless we wanted to.

While our dream home is being built, we would probably take a vacation to Disneyworld/Universal Studios/whatever else in that area... I've never been outside of Missouri, Illinois, and I spent 3 months in Nebraska, and took a vacation once to Tunica MS/Memphis TN. Adam has been quite a few places, but neither of us have been to Florida. We would also like to go to Ireland, Scotland, and I've always wanted to visit other places like Rome, Italy, Greece, New Zealand, and France. The Paris Opera House was always a dream of mine!

Upon returning, we would move into our new house. I also promised my bestest friend that if I ever was a millionaire, I would build a photo studio for her to run, and I would co-own it, so I could help out and enjoy the business of Photography as well. I would also own a few homes to rent out, and become a landlord.

We would also get a convertible, get a truck for Adam, a motorcycle for him, I'd have to get my license, and I'd want a motorhome/winnebago for those times when we want to go somewhere with the rest of the family.

Maybe down the road, we could go scuba diving some time... Once we started getting some of our money back from rental properties, we might invest in other business such as a skating rink, bed and breakfast, and movie theater. I've also always wanted to spend the weekend at a spa. I'd get a personal trainer and fitness adviser to help us be more healthy, maybe hire a maid a couple of times to do my dishes and take out my trash. lol I'd also buy up some gold to hide away in case we really DID come into an economic depression where the dollar becomes useless... Then we would have a universal supply of income to fall back on. I'd also get the top electronics for our laptops, phones, cameras, game systems, etc.
Like I said, it's wishful thinking, but it sure would be a dream come true. Especially with tonight's Mega Millions being at $304 million dollars! LOL
