if i won

What would you do if you won the lottery?


I had this conversation recently with a friend. It's a most unlikely possibility, since I don't know if I've ever bought a lottery ticket. I'd rather buy chocolate, to be perfectly honest.


But if I DID win ... what would I do?


Hmmmm.....


I'd put a second floor on the front half of our house, creating an awesome master bedroom and ensuite, with a balcony that faces the water. (It's possible I'd have to demolish a couple of apartment buildings to complete the view, but hey, if we're dreaming....)


I'd visit and thoroughly soak up every bit of everything in St. Petersburg, Russia.


I'd build a little summer place in Alaska.


I'd roadtrip in a Ford F-150, navy blue.


And I would drink only Fair Trade coffee.


You?
