Into My Pocket It Goes



July 20- What would you do with the $ if you won the lottery?

After yesterday's seriousness (yes, I read every blog that posted on FB), why not inject some levity into the blog. So I'm going to be downright selfish in what I would do with lottery money. No giving to the poor, no  Habitat for Humanity donations.  Nope, in my pocket it goes. Then I would
  • 10% to God
  • pay off our mortgage and other debt
  • pay off kids' school loans
  • buy vehicles for me and hubby
  • fix a little house in the back so my mother can live with us
  • make repairs to our house and yard
  • buy a horse
  • take several cruises
  • get a wardrobe makeover
  • spend money on the kids
  • ok, so I'd put some in savings
  • buy yarn
  • donate to Fibromyalgia Network
  • get central air installed
  • get new computers
  • buy hubby the ginormous screen tv he wants with surround sound
  • new furniture
  • hire a yardman and cleaning lady (yeah, those are stereotypes)
  • put some more in savings
  • donate to the local Girl Scout council to fix up the camps
  • travel

My selfishness has run its course. Hopefully, I have some left to give to a charity, but which one? I could just give it to the United Way. You know, I had a friend who was raped a couple of years ago. She would appreciate it if I gave to the Rape Crisis Center. I would like to support the prison ministry from my church. If the amount was a super win, I would create a free shuttle service for homebound people to get to the store and doctor appointments.
