Carole has given us a fun challenge this week: what would we buy if we found a pot of gold. She didn't specify exactly how big the pot was, or what the price of gold was when we found it, so I am going to assume the pot is essentially bottomless and the price of gold is whatever I want it to be. Hey, this is my imaginary pot of gold, right?

Ten Things I Would Buy If I Found A Pot Of Gold.
- A new brain for my husband. Or maybe a bit more common sense. More on that later in the week.
- A new car. Don't know exactly what kind, but it would be a wagon, have all-wheel drive, have every bell and whistle ever put into a car (heated seats, fabulous stereo with Bluetooth connectivity, climate control, and probably a lot of other things that were invented in the last 19 years since I bought my last brand-new car), and be rated a Best Buy by Consumer Reports.
- A new iMac, also loaded with every bell and whistle available.
- Finish the remodel of this house. This would probably include some new furniture, too.
- Pay someone to do any pre-sale fixing up at the Minneapolis house. And sell it post-haste.
- Have my cleaning lady come 1-2 times/week instead of every 3 weeks.
Okay, now I am running out of things I want that money can buy. So I would probably start donating. Oh, yeah, I'd buy the new library that we we have been raising money for. After that I would have the fun of giving money away.
