If I won the lottery:

I’d buy a house in France
Take an around-the-world cruise
Start a charity that would buy books for school libraries
Start a  charity that would provide patient care for people who can’t get health insurance
I’d buy a cabin in the woods
I’d buy Mike a houseboat

I find when I think about my absolute dreamspace it’s a combination craft room and yoga studio with lots of room to dance around, to exercise, to meditate, and to craft.

My dreamspace would include

Filtered water (the kind that doesn’t give me reflux)
Bright but soothing colors, probably white walls
Jewel tones?
All of the space I need to organize everything so it will be neat looking and easy to find
Attractive storage options
Lots of bookshelves
A big pegboard to hold all of life’s doodads
A good sound system
A Wii
A nice meditation cushion
Nice scents… maybe something in apple-cinnamon
Big windows with a view of lots of trees and greenery in the summer, snow in the winter, dramatic storms the rest of the year
A few plants, maybe a tree in a pot. Maybe a orange tree?
A really, really comfortable chair with good lumbar support
A huge table for cutting out sewing patterns, quilt pieces,  and blocking fiber crafts. Something white that won’t get scratched when I cut things on it
Wooden floors that don’t squeak

The first draft of this list was just two disease cures and a wish for effective allergy meds, and it sort of made me sad to look at it, so this is the second draft.

Inventions I wish were real

Effective allergy meds
A way to keep fruit indefinitely fresh in it’s original, non preserved, non-frozen state
Self-sizing clothing that conforms to your body without any work on your part
A good cure for cancer (one that doesn’t destroy a person)
Self-color adjusting furniture (so the couch that looks great in morning light wouldn’t seem so dull in the middle of the afternoon)
A good cure for AIDS
Some sort of personal shield that would prevent me from hearing other movie-goers talking in movie theaters
