What if...

Yesterday I wrote 10 Random Things about ME! Today, I'm playing a game called "What if..."

1. What if...I had a million dollars?
Well, a million doesn't go as far these days as it used to but I would still be able to leave my job and live comfortably on a million bucks! Which is exactly what I'd do! I do like my job and I've been really lucky to work for a great agency for the past nearly 20 years but I'm tired of the routine and looking forward to creating new routines for myself. On a million bucks I would have enough to live frugally while still taking care of some of my families stuff and putting the rest away. I don't need fancy houses or cars. I just need enough. And I would that plenty if I had a million bucks.

2. What if...I was asked to host The Oscars?
Well, I would say yes and then faint. I know I have a solid acting background and I'm a pretty funny person so I think it would go well but I haven't done anything on stage in a long, long time so it's likely that shear terror would set in. I think I would ask if I could bring some friends. I have some seriously funny friends! But good god, what would I wear??

3. What if...I lost someone close to me suddenly?
Well, I would be devastated depending on who it is. I know that sounds horrible. Sorrow from losing a loved one would seem to be pretty fair and even but the truth is, though I love many, I am closer to some. Alex, for example...if I were to lose him I would be wrecked. I know I would. I'm not sure how someone survives that type of loss. Whew... I don't even want to think about it!

4. What if...I could do one job other than what I do now for the rest of my life?
Well, please refer to #1 about that "working for the rest my life" thing. Seriously though, if I had to choose something else to do I would work with animals - maybe in a zoo setting or a vet. I love animals and becoming a vet was something I thought about when I was younger.

5. What if...someone came up to me and demanded my money at gun point.
Well, first of all, jokes on them! I never have any money! Ugh...this one is easy for me. I would give it to them. I just don't hold any physical thing in such high regard that I would kill or get killed for it. Those people who feel the need to bear arms to protect themselves are misguided and scared for no reason. Nothing is so important to have to defend it with a gun. Then the argument is always "what if they wanted to rape you?" I can see their point but when's the last time you heard of any one warding off a rapist with a gun? Usually, they fend them off by screaming, kicking, yelling, biting and making so much commotion the rapist runs off. But since this question isn't about that, it's about money, I still say I would just give it to them. Let the cops sort it out later.
