At the end of the year I always buy a lottery ticket, the only one of the year. The jackpot is high (€30 million) and it's always nice to think about what you'd do with all that money if you happen to win it. 

My musings:

- Pay off my mortgage. 
- Give a third to my parents and a third to my sister. 
- Look for a new house, somewhere more quiet, with an amazing view.
- Look into options of buying some kind of holiday home in Ireland
- Buy more books
- Put money into my account for savings, so that I'll never have to worry about money ever again.
- Travel the world
- Find a job/something to do I really love (work in a bookstore perhaps?)

I think that's it? What would you do if you happen to win a lot of money?

I should get dressed now and get ready to go to my sister where I'll be spending New Year's Eve. I'm scared to go outside, because already there's lots of fireworks outside. I still can't understand why it's allowed to light fireworks at 10.00 in the morning here. It's only bangs, bangs, bangs and I am so sick of it.

To all: have fun tonight wherever you are and hope 2014 wil bring you all everything you hoped for!

Two weeks ago I stranded in the middle of nowhere, in the cold and snow waiting for my dad to come pick me up. Holidays had just started. And now it's just only a day and a half until reality kicks in again. I still need to write the school reports, I also still need to check the kid's work. But do I do it? Of course not. Procrastinate till the last minute.

I didn't win the lottery the other night. Again. Someone did though and won €27,5 million. Oh the things I could do with that money! I read in a magazine the other day that chances of winning this lottery is 1 in 18 million (others even 1 in 48,8 million and one even 1 in 100 million). Chances of getting divorced: 1 in 3. Chances of getting struck by lightning this year: 1 in 3,3 million. Chances of getting killed in a car accident this year: 1 in 23.500. Perspective. But still...dreaming about it is actually so much fun! To have the hope that maybe one day...it's better to have some hope, than none.

Ah, and now I should get dressed, grab the bike, go into town, buy a newspaper, go for lunch and just enjoy myself for a bit.
