Top 10 Favorite Daydreams

Although I am not the type of person that will spend $100.00 of a $150 dollar support check on lottery tickets... I do like myself a nice daydream.

I have arranged my daydreams in the order of importance, with 1 being the lowest but still wouldn't turn it down, and 10 being the best, daydream on the planet!

1. The team from DIY shows up on a nice saturday morning and surprises me with plans for planting, landscaping and privatizing my large backyard.

2. Stacy and Clinton from "What Not To Wear" happen to be at the quick chek while I am buying my morning coffee and take pitty on myself and my girls and take us all on a world wind shopping spree....(pssst. Stacy we are right here in NJ, and don't get insulted being only #2)

3. I clean out my closet and find an old scratch off that hasn't been scratched... and I win a large amount of money, not life changing... but enough to help with the bills.

4. I meet a nice successful, handsome 40 something man, who doesn't mind staying in and hanging out on the deck, cooking burgers, while the kids run around.

5. Becoming suddenly famous as a blogger or a writer and earning a good living writing or consulting.

6. Earning a living playing around on my computer for 6 hours a day.

7. Winning a life changing amount of money, to be paid in large generous sums for the rest of my life and the life of my children. (realizing of course, that money doesn't buy happiness, however it certainly makes it easier to live comfortably)

8. Invent something and be able to market and sell it for a comfortable residual income.

9. Earn a living reading popular fiction and writing reviews

10. Raise my three daughters to be happy, smart, empathetic, hard working independant thinkers, productive participants in society and healthy energetic adults.

Yup that's about it.

You will notice I didn't mention Brad Pitt. If what I read in The National Enquirer is true, then he and AJ are on the rocks... and quick frankly, I'm not interested in a 2 time loser.
