Wish List

My parents have been playing the lottery for as long as I can remember. From time to time they "win". They're so cute - they get so excited when they win $2. I think the biggest my dad ever won was something around $2000. You'd swear he hit the multi-million jackpot by the way my mom was jumping up and down and screaming :)

I don't play the lottery. Well, sometimes I do when the jackpot is big, but that's maybe once or twice a year. Being unemployed and having a single income family is something new and foreign to us. We were never big spenders, but now more than ever we think twice, three times, or more when considering purchasing something new. If I were to hit the lottery tomorrow, these items would be top on my wish list (in no particular order):

(1) Of course, we'd start by putting away money for RJ and paying off debts. But then...
(2) A new King sized mattress
(3) Luxury linens, king sized pillows, and at least 2 sets of king sized comforters/bedspreads
(4) New bedroom furniture (when we moved into our house, we didn't buy a new set and
currently have an interesting mix of pieces going on in here)
(5) A new car for the hubby - and if there is $ left over, a new car for me
(6) 1st class tickets for my parents trip to the PI this year, plus pocket money for them
(7) 1st class tickets for our trip to HI this year
(8) A huge STAR WARS themed party for RJ's 1st birthday this year
(9) A new Dyson vacuum
(10) Remodel hallway bathroom to put in the bathtub, tiles, sliding door, and all the upgrades
my mom originally wanted when we bought the house
