GTKY: What would you do?

[chicorojo]

Landscape my yard. Is that pleasure ?
Eta: I guess that's not really pleasure, I would take my kids on a vacation.

[nannygoat]

Exotic beach vaca. I want to be on a white sand beach under the shade of some palm trees sipping on a daiquiri with a little umbrella in it just as the sun sets. Too specific?

[birch113]

Vacation! I don't care where, just not here!

chicorojo is a better mother than me. I'd ditch those kids in a hot second

I was thinking it, I just didn't want to say it lol. Actually in missing them right now because the big ones are at their dads. Once their back tomorrow, I am totally planning a vacation without them with my hypothetical money.

I'd go to Europe with the whole family (I also turned this into unlimited money). Specifically, I'd like to go to Ireland, Belgium, and Germany. I'd love to spend at least a week in each country.

Take me ! I have friends in every one of those countries, we can do it on the cheap.

I think DSLR lenses...those get expensive fast.

I think I have to be in the vacation camp. Specifically Hawaii. I went in 2008 with a friend, and I'd love to go back to Kauai with DH. It's such a beautiful and quaint little island, and I really hope I get to go back someday with him. We've never been on a vacation together that wasn't a family vacation (with kids, visiting his family or mine).

Or, I'd fly to Texas and organize a D14 party, helping to subsidize airfare for those that couldn't afford it.

Where would we go in Texas ?!

[nannygoat]

Oh! I didn't even think about a D14 party. WTH is wrong with me?! That would be awesome! Glad you thought of it mgk207, now go win the lottery or something.

I have no clue. I've never been there, but it seems like it might be a central location for us FFMC? I always thought I should live in Texas. I don't know where this comes from. I'm from Maine.  

We could go to port a. Rent like a compound of condos. It would be a blasty blast.

[pdxlaurens]

Count me in the vacation camp. Although I'd love a d14 party, MH and I just canceled the vacation we've been dreaming about due to money so this is still foremost in my mind.

[frenchy816]

I'd take hubby and LO back to france, specifically to visit the city I lived in on my year abroad. I haven't been back since I was there and miss it so much. I miss my host family and sometimes feel like there is a part of my Dh will never know/understand if we can't get back there some day. Maybe one day we'll be able to afford it.

I love you for saying blasty blast. That is all.

[gdaniels77]

I would spend $1000 to get to the D14 Texas party (because that's for real now, right? As well as the 5000 bucks?) and use the rest for our anniversary vacation maybe.

[jessielynn]

$5000 worth of sunshine, beaches and booze.

[happyfeet9]

I would take Idris and DH to Snowdonia National Park to hike Cadair Idris!
It's one of the main reasons why I fell in love with his name and hope to go there someday.

Which city did you live in? J'ai vécu à Strasbourg pendant un mois quand j'avais 15 ans! I love France and really want to go back.

Oh my gosh Miss Killjoy you're so fancy with your French.

I lived in rennes. Le sigh, rennes me manque beaucoup.

[stormygrace]

I would totally spend it all on LO. I think that's become an addiction honestly.

[cwbh928]

Hawaii - been there 5 years in a row now for vacation and I would go back in a heart beat! I absolutely love it and so does my DH. Although we had so much fun alone I would totally bring the little guy!

ETA: Ah! I saw you already answered my question, but I'll keep the old text anyway. Where'd you study abroad? I stayed in Rennes for a few months. Would LOVE to go back.



I'm also in the vacation camp. I'd love to go to one of those all-inclusive resorts somewhere exotic.

[ThePregosaurus]

Miss Killjoy, you mentioned your students showing you up.. Do you teach French too and I'm only just now realizing this?

Wow, there are 3 of us that teach French here? Go D14! I teach French 1 online, but was in public and private schools for 8 years.

I do. I'm a French Immersion teacher. My students study all subjects in French except Math (one hour a day) and English (40 minutes). So I teach French Language Arts, but I also teach Social Studies, Science, Phys Ed, Health, and the Arts in French.

Oh! I think you've posted that before but I forgot it was you. Wow! That sounds fun but pretty intense! I just teach French but I find myself reteaching kids English some days haha.

frenchy816, level 1 is a lot of fun! This year I teach high school levels 2, 3, & 4. I tell my classes all the time the reason I teach is bc I'm selfish and I want to practice so no English allowed lol. It's true though. Without living in another country, where else do you get to practice every day? Love it

[bdk0186]

Vacation and a massage! Kids may or may not be included lol
