-Take a culinary tour of Italy (this is vastly different from EATING one at Olive Garden).
-Plant and nurture a beautiful Victorian garden (as opposed to planting and KILLING a beautiful Victorian garden).
-Learn how to make Rice Krispie treats that don’t taste like marshmallow-flavored hockey pucks.
-Scuba dive off the Great Barrier Reef.
-Own an authentic Epiphanie camera bag.
-Conquer my addictions to diet Pepsi and OPI.
-Write something else that gets published.
-Become fluent in Italian.
-Stop fighting and let my hair turn gray.
-Own a cottage on a beach or a cabin on a mountain lake.
-Treat my girlfriends to a week at a spa.
-Take my kids to New York City to watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, visit Ground Zero and the 9/11 Memorial, take a carriage ride through Central Park, split a sundae at Serendipity and tour the Statue of Liberty.
Today I will...
-Attend an ASTRA meeting where I will help thirty teenagers plan a Halloween costume ball.
-Count yesterday's receipts at the store after which I will wash my hands, thoroughly (Money is dirty, y'all, hence the term filthy rich, I guess?).
-Pull the last of the beets from my garden.
- Cheer for the Man-Cub at an exhibition football game; hope he doesn't get knocked across the field (again).
-Cheer for The Teenager at a volleyball game; hope she manages a few kills and that her serves are as awesome as they were at her last game (nine in a row, cinching the set for her team).
-Make several dozen Gatorblox for The Teenager's PE class (yeah, still not quite sure how I got volunteered for that one).
-Vampire Diaries!!
-Watch Hugh pack for a weekend trip to Denver; help him find (insert item here).
