if i were a rich (wo)man. LaDiDaDiDaDiDaDiDa...


I'd shop at Whole Foods for just about everything in my cupboards and fridge. I'd probably own more shoes and a nicer camera with a slew (yes, a slew) of nice lenses. I'd globe trot. A lot. I'd probably retire Rosy (my car) for something newer, fancier, shinier, and black-er (don't tell Rosy, please). I'd buy my dream home and decorate it and re-decorate it some more. I'd start a scholarship foundation for underprivileged kids.

But that's about all that would change. Because I'd still teach. I'd still have this girl for a best friend (she'd just travel more too--with me, naturally). I'd still believe in this with all I have in me. I'd still have my amazing family. I'd still remain smitten with the written word. I'd still use coupons (because paying full price is for the birds). And this is how I know my life is good. Because even if I had more money, it wouldn't make anything better than it already is.

Great list.

If I were rich, I'd have a personal trainer who'd come to my house every day to make sure that I got in some good exercisin'. Oh, and a housekeeper. Oh, and I'd also have a crazily stocked crafting/sewing room.

Sigh.

My mother always said "money doesn't make you happier, but it can sure make things easier". I couldn't agree more that money couldn't make life better...but I would like the chance to try ;)

This tells me that you are a grounded, amazing woman who has her priorities straight. That does not mean, however, that I don't wish a lot of globetrotting for you. 'Cause I do...

Beautiful. Also, perhaps you could add to the list a less obnoxious font.
