If I Had Millions of Dollars...

I'd be rich!!!
Ok so kind of a lame post, but I just read about 10 people that won 216 MILLION dollars in the lottery!!! 216 MILLION!!!! So just for fun and because its a dreamy sort of day today I will write down my daydream.
First of all if I had 21 million dollars, I would buy a house. I would buy a nice big red house in Las Condes. It will be a 2 story brick house with ivy growing up the walls. There will be a gate in the front, an oldish looking steel gray gate and it will be way in front of the house. Way up close to the street. Of course there will be a yard in the front and in the back. I will have two nice trees in the front, one lemon tree, and one orange tree. I will have rose bushes up close to the house all across the front. There will be a garage right next to the house and inside it will be a brand new Honda Civic Hybrid, a silver one! In the back yard there will be a nice sized pool, long enough to swim laps and it will be an in ground pool. We will have a place to have asados, a nice tiled area with the giant propane grill that Rodrigo wants. We will also have one of those oven outside so I can make bread and cake and chocolate chip cookies and whatever else I am in the mood to make. There will also be trees in the backyard some nice climbing trees for the future children to climb up and make me worry like a mother should! (The only reason I would worry is because my sister once got stuck up in a tree because she climbed up to a spot where she couldn't get down, this also happened to my brother although he was older than my sis when she got stuck and of course I had my camera at that time and still have the pictures to laugh at!) There will also be a tree where we can hang a swing. There will also be a clothes line that I will use only for drying towels, sheets, blankets, and table cloths, (I will have real table cloths, not the plastic kind.) There will also be one of those sheds that look like a mini barn that everyone has in MN, where I will store bikes, kids toys, camping stuff, the box full of Christmas decorations, etc... I will have a nice big garden with cucumbers, onions, lettuce, tomatoes, straberries, pumpkin, watermelons, carrots, and green beans. The house will be beautiful!!
Inside there will be 6 bedrooms. I may not need them now, but if I have a million dollars I should be able to have 5 kids!!! Since I don't have 5 kids now, there will be 3 guest rooms, a room for me to have a sewing machine so I can make comfy pjs that are long enough for me and other things that I like to do. I can't remember what I like to do when I have my own space...I'll have to dream this up later. There will also be a room for Rodrigo's guitars and his other hobbies...if he has any or gets anymore. Then the other room will be for books! There will be shelves and shelves of books. An entire set of World Book, the newest version possible, dictionaries, fiction books, fairy tales, Eric Carle books, anything and everything. Then we will have 2 guest rooms. One will be a black and white them and the other will be a sunflower themed room. Each with a big bed and a little table under the window where I can put a vase of fresh flowers. Of course when we have our first child, I will paint the room according to the sex, I am not one of those yellow is a neutral color people. If I have a girl I will paint the room yellow or light purple if its a boy I will paint the room baby blue or baby green. There will be a HUGE kitchen! HUGE HUGE HUGE!! I will have a nice big oak table right in front of a big window. There will be an island and lots of cupboard space. The refridgerator will be normal size, not this tiny shit they ahve here. There will always be ice cream and Eggo Waffles in the freezer. Always! I will have a big big big stovetop and an oven big enough to bake 2 things at a time. I will have a coffee maker, a toaster that can hold four slices of toast, and a dishwasher! Oh a dishwasher! :o) We will have a nice big open living room with big comfy suade couch. We will have a nice size TV, but not a huge one. There will also be at least 2 bathrooms. Each with a nice big bath and a big mirror with a row of light bulbs above it so I can actually see what I am doing when I curl my hair!
I will also by a house and land in the US. The house will be exactly the same as the other house except there will be a big shed with a boat, 2 four wheelers, 2 snowmobiles, a riding lawn mower, and a place to put a big wooden picnic table and the grill for the winter. There will also be an outdoor hot tub.
Of course I will set my family up nice. I will open a college account and savings account for each kid. Then maybe we will travel the world. Go everywhere see everything. Rodrigo has a huge list of places he wants to go. Then I will donate and donate til I have maybe just 2 million left. I don't know what I will do with the rest of it but I'm sure I can dream up something!!!
Ok, now back to work, back to my real life. :o)

The sheds that everyone in Minnesota has that look like little barns! Lol! It's so true. So would you bring this shed to Chile? Do they have them here? Maybe I could export THAT!
