1. A weekend in Las Vegas. (We both could use a Cirque du Soleil fix.)
2. Trinkets and food in Europe this summer. (Wow, that’s just what George and Ben want! Americans buying Euros!)
3. A daybed for my home office. (I’m still reclaiming my space.)
4. Laser surgery on my legs. (Ha! It probably would only pay for a few square inches.)
5. A treadmill. (The two exercise bicycles, weight set and Healthrider are getting lonely.)
6. New patio furniture. (Another coat of stain will no longer hide the fact that the current set is turning into redwood splinters.)
7. A dog. (This will likely not happen. The spouse has not yet recovered from the death of the old one six years ago.)
8. A big-screen HDTV, for cryin’ out loud. (Our CHILDREN both have one. They pity us. And they refuse to visit us.)
9. One of those full-body diagnostic scans. (I like to scare myself sometimes.)
10. The American Express bill. (Or, as we like to call it, The Black Hole.)

Option 11: Spend it on me.
(*Whispered voice* I’d choose that one if I were you.)
