"Make a Wish" Wednesday

My Wish: My wish this week is to win tonight’s Lotto 649 Jackpot – currently estimated to be at 32 million dollars. Although, that’s Canadian dollars, it’s still a lot of money and I would be able to do wonders with that kind of cash (both for myself and others).


For starters, here is what I would do if I won:

  1. Quit my job. I like my job but wouldn’t be able to take it seriously with that kind of cash in the bank.
  2. Pay off my mortgage and my car loan.
  3. Give my dad and in-laws some money and help them enjoy retirement.
  4. Take ten of my closest friends on an all expense paid scuba vacation.
  5. Renovate and landscape my existing home (add a pool and a hot tub too).
  6. Buy an ocean-front condo in Bonaire, so I have a place to escape the snow in the winter months.
  7. Build an affordable, fully accessible housing complex for seniors and those with disabilities in my home town.
  8. Start a scholarship program for disadvantaged teens - for those who can't afford a post-secondary education, but want one.
  9. Hire a house keeping and landscaping service for myself.
  10. Buy one boat and two motorcycles - one for me and one for my husband - no sense fighting about who will be the rider and who will be the driver.

January Blows...

The Holidays are behind us for another year, the parties are over and the decorations have been put away. Now what? Apart from some indoor exercise, maybe the odd movie, some reading, an afternoon nap on the weekend and perhaps some weight loss, there is nothing to look forward to in the short term. The Holidays are a bit of a let-down in that respect. So much hype and then when the excitement suddenly stops, I’m left feeling lost – like I’ve forgotten to do something. I usually like to complain about the winter weather in January, but I can’t even do that because it hasn’t been that bad… yet. It’s been cold, but we have certainly been lacking in the snow department. I know winter will arrive and then I’ll have LOTS to keep my “bitter meter” ticking, but until then, what’s a girl to do?

Q&A With Myself...

Today is an anniversary of sorts… Today marks my 2 nd anniversary at my current place of employment.   Over the last 2 years, I’ve had some  a lot of spare time to reflect upon the career path that I’ve chosen and what wrong turns have lead me to the cube where I sit today. I’m not happy with some of the choices I’ve made, but I’m not going to dwell on those – life’s too short .   Each wrong turn has led me to something different, some new experience.   I’ve met some great people, others that aren’t so great and those who should be forgotten, but sadly are etched upon my soul.  I’ve learned some things along the way and have laughed at myself and others while doing whatever it is that I do.   I question whether I should have become a sell out and an ass kisser, but realize that I just don’t have what it takes.  I like being able to hold my head high and know that I’ve gotten to where I am in life by being honest – with myself and others.
