Could I have a do-over, please?

Okay, so the FFA question of the week is: "What would you do if you had 30 minutes with absolutely NO accountability whatsoever (moral, ethical, legal, etc.)?". Huh... Absolutely NO accountability? In 30 minutes. Hmmm... that's not much time.

Well, Peggy did not mention the bending of the space & time continuum, but... since I figure this is my fantasy, I might was well go whole hog. If I have a half hour, and only a half hour at my disposal, and I can do anything that I want with it... I'm going back in time to the day that CB cashed out my retirement account and gave me a check (bless them) and I'm marching my pretty little self over to a financial advisor and I'm investing every last dollar that I have on me in Google and AOL stock. I think half an hour should do me just fine. I figure that I'd have just enough time to have them draw up the paperwork to split my investments 50/50 between the two, sign my life away, and then I'd be able to twinkle out of there and back home to my little cottage.

I figure that in 30 minutes of time travel, I could save myself years of needless work and worry. Not to mention - maybe I could score myself a cute gardner for the grounds. Oh, heck yeah...

I just found your blog through your Good Reads--I like your taste in books (esp. The Mercy of Thin Air)!

Oh yeah...and I would have invested in Toyota and Honda--the hybrids are selling like crazy!

I misspelled my comment, and I didn't want you to get upset.

Now, I was trying to say, I love your accommodations! Where would this home be located?

So, I guess this means we get to come crash at your house for vacation, right?

Elizabeth - welcome. And yes, that is an excellent book. I'll have to check out your goodreads. :)

Dawn - no worries about your spelling. I don't judge too harshly.. (Okay, that's a lie. I totally judge harshly, but I wouldn't hold it against you until you started using words like ain't.)

And Jen - DUH, the girls trip is on me. You can each have a wing of the house. Ahhhh... wouldn't that be the life?

I ain't afraid of you and your grammatical critcism's.
...hehehe, yes I did crack myself up and put that apostrophe in on purpose!

Beal - GTH.

Enough said.
