I will make a videotape, directed at the children, so this way they can always watch it if they want to.

I would make sure I would have a H U G E family reunion and have dancing and drinks flowing...but I wouldn't get too drunk because I don't want to have a hangover to ruin my last day with my children...yuck, puking and dying no thank you.

I would hope to have my husband understand that no matter how much of a b&*^h I was to him....I always loved him and regret any moment that was negative.

I would organize all of the bill information, insurances...anything my husband would be in control of hte rest of his life...I would get it ready for him.
Um, Pixie, is that you???? You just said pretty much what I would've said, perfectly...thank you.

Ps. I'd also spend all my money and rack up some extra bills, then I'd tell my husband not to file in surrogate court so he wouldn't get stuck paying it back.

I'd hop into my brand new (frame up restoration) 1952 Willy's cj2a, pick up my wife, drive 150 miles and pick up my 16 year old son. We'd head west to Jackson Hole WY, where my boy was born, and enjoy every glorious sight between here and there. His only dream is to see where he was born and unfortunately the ex won't "allow" it. This was a great post, it made me think of one more "what if".

1. Tell everyone in my life how I feel about them. (Which I already do)
2. Eat lots of chocolate & pizza (also already do)
3. Hug, kiss & have sex with my boyfriend (already do that too)
4. Listen to music. (do it everyday)
5. Make sure all my finances are in order. (working on it)

I'd be much more forgiving of radio stations that played shortened versions of Light My Fire and Inna Gadda Da Vida.

I would keep living as we are now, spending all the time I can with my family and enjoying life...I would also refuse to believe that I was dying, and beat the odds.

I'd buy two Amtrak tickets, load the car with a case of Champagne, then drive to PA to pick up my daughter and see how far we could get (via train) in two days.

We have a cross-country train trip (we both have a "thing" for trains) planned for her graduation. If I ~knew~ I wasn't going to be around that long, we'd just bump plans up a bit!
