I have writer’s block so instead of writing a post I thought I’d sit on my butt and talk. I’m pretty good at sitting on my butt, which is why it’s so round and squooshy as my kids would say. I’m even better at talking. I can ramble until the cows come home.
See what I mean. My writing is terrible tonight so ignore this crap and skip down to the video.
Amen to the cloth diapers! I’m so glad that I switched. I missed those few early months with the runny breastfed poop so that’ll be nice with the next one.
As for the millions of buck: pay off the dairy farm and build a new barn (there’s about 5 mil right there lol)
- buy a vacation condo in Greece so I can stay there for like a month every year.
- take my parents and siblings to Holland to visit family together and learn about our family’s history as well as do touristy things
- let my mom build the Women’s Shelter that she’s always wanted to do
- send mom and dad on a cross-Canada vacation
- build a house for my little family (800 sq ft gets a little crowded with 3 ppl) (with a room for my musical instruments that i’m going to buy)
- donate a LOT to the La Leche League so they can do more outreach without financial restrictions
- set up a scholarship for homeschool kids.
Yeah, I’ve thought about that a lot lol!
you know what they say? “poop happens” oh I mean “money happens” yeah that’s it.
Sorry about the poop! I didn’t know that about cloth diapers, not that it applys to me, but I will pass it along.
Okay with my many many dollars I would:
-Travel around Thailand, and area, and do yoga with some of the famous yogis
-Spend lots of time in Europe, like you said, eat and live with locals, and learn their langauge and culture.
-Build my dream home on an acreage and start a animal rescue, where all unwanted animals could live with me.
-Donate money to various charities, ones that actually help people, not just pay administrative costs with your money.
-Buy a very very fast car, and a state of the art radar detector.
-tummy tuck, boob job, and full body liposuction.
-and then join you in New York to buy a whole new wardrobe for my smokin’ body!
Thanks Jenn, this was fun!!
Okay, if I had no end to money this is what I’d do, first I’d buy a fabulous 500 acres of land in mid U.S. maybe Missouri or somewhere like that, then I’d make sure that in buying the property I didn’t displace a generational ranch, so there would need to be some finagling. Then I’d employ a cook and a trainer, and I’d start college funds for all of my grandchildren.
Then I’d buy a large yacht, but not too large, one that wouldn’t need a crew about 65′ should do the trick.
Then I’d make sure that I was completely self-contained and not reliant on any resource (water, electricity, power, heat, food)
I would buy my brother-in-law Ron’s house in such a way that he wouldn’t know who did it. I would set up an annual stipend for his needs, and help finance his ventures.
I would pay for all of my children’s education as long as they wanted, in such a way that they thought it was financed through a grant, conditional on grades and progress.
I would recreate the beautiful estate that my grandmother spent her life building,with a lawyer to protect my identity from all the relatives, (Utahs’ most beautiful), complete with the same fountains, gazebos, weeping willow trees, mulberry trees, and wide sweeping perfect lawns bordered with geraniums and shrubberies, truit orchards, and grape arbors.The lawyer would invite all of my cousins to contribute to the vision and structure to insure that it was perfectly restored in it’s exactness, and then donate the property to only direct relatives of Grandma Madsens for special retreats and reunions or havens of rehab of any kind.
It would be completely green as grandma was, natural healing, aura reading, and spiritual respite. and then tell everyone that it was a condition of my grandpa Madsens’ will. (because of his love for her)
And then I’d be perfectly happy to have a pedicure each and every month.
I’d like to own my own airplane, small craft 10 passengers or so, and employ a pilot until dad got his license. With our own little airstrip that we donate to the community for emergencies and convenience.
I would pass myself off as a worker for the estate, and play the part of a devoted servant of sorts and just minding the manor.
Okay well, you asked.
I mean pay off Rons’ house not buy, sorry.
Oh my Gosh, watching you reminded my so much of your mom when we were young. I hope you take that as a compliment, because that was it’s intention. I wish we lived closer, I think we could have a lot of fun and get into some trouble too!:) We have thought about the money question. Every time we go to Chicago we buy lotto tickets, and dream of what it would be like. I would start my own private school with techniques that I know work and have been lost in the public schools due to size and finances. I hope everyone is doing better after your flu epidemic. If you ever make it even semi close to Vegas, please let me know. I would love to see you again!
