  • I Dream

    I dream of being independently wealthy.  I don’t care how, just as long as it’s legal and not blood money. 

    I dream of owning this house in Hunting Valley that’s currently on the market and just gorgeous and my kind of house - http://6030deerrun.howardhanna.com.   I dream of adding on a fitness/workout room and a recording studio.

    I dream of having a personal masseur and getting a massage EVERY day, like Bob Hope and George Burns did (and they both lived to be100.  Hmmm)

    I dream of having a cook to put together wonderful, very healthy meals that will help me lose weight AND lower my cholesterol.

    I dream of having the time to really pursue exercise with a personal trainer who will get my body into shape.  In that vein, I dream of owning one of these - http://www.streetstrider.com/

    I dream of a little plastic surgery – want to get rid of the baggy/puffy eyes and the wrinkled turkey neck, as well as have some dermabrasion done.  Just once in my life I’d love to have smooth skin. 

    I dream of getting a gorgeous Osmond-style smile to go with my new looks.

    I dream of owning my own theatre.  I dream of buying the Spillway - http://www.cfspillway.com/ - which I helped support and helped get out the vote to re-zone it so that the project might happen.  But then the recession hit and the owners couldn’t get enough investors to make the project happen.  I dream of owning it and turning it into a dinner theatre where the people are served buffet style and the actors in the shows get to wait on the people – having to only serve them their drinks and desserts, yet get all the tips.

    I dream of getting my secret project off the ground, the one I conceived last Summer and got a bunch of people to agree to, only to get asked to be in other plays/musicals, and not finding the time to work on the secret project.

    I dream of writing several books and a musical I’ve had in mind for a while – and because I’m independently wealthy, I have the time to do such things and not worry about whether they give me a huge return.

    I dream of having my own British television series – a series that makes me a star and gives the show a cult following a la Torchwood or Doctor Who. 

    I dream of becoming a hit singer/songwriter, even at my age,and collaborating with Gaga, Annie Lennox, Barry Gibb, Pink and Janet Jackson.

    I dream of renting one of these private train cars - http://www.railcharter.com/pvtrail/usacan/index.html - for a trip around the country, waited on by an attendant and chef. 

    I dream of adopting three young orphaned sisters, from some Eastern European countries – three sisters who had no chance of being adopted together – and raising them in my dream home, with Fazio as their first pet whom they grow to love as quickly as I have. I dream of having the money to send them to a nearby private school,giving them the chance to become something they might never thought of being.

    I dream of taking my girls to see “Wicked” on Broadway and getting them very involved and excited about doing theatre.

    I dream of seeing England, much of Europe, Iceland, Alaska,New Zealand, Australia, Hawaii, Bora Bora, Capetown, the Maldives.  I dream of taking various trains first class all around the world. 

    I dream of visiting every single Disney park around the world.

    I dream of simply lying in a hammock on a beach somewhere –a nearly deserted beach (or one with several VERY good looking men walking by).  I dream of being on a lounger on a deck overlooking a mountain lake on a warm Summer day.

    I dream of my girls getting to meet their grandmother and all their uncles and aunties and cousins. 

    I dream of sharing all this with a really great guy who loves me just the way I am.

    Yet I fear that none of these things will ever happen.  And yet still I dream.

  • I love your dreams and think with some work and luck most if not all your dreams are possible. Buy your street rider, they aren't over the top costly. You deserve some toys once in a while. Life is too short to wait. Too many people save for the future and deny the present. They call it a present for a reason. Give yourself one once in a while. Financial advisors will never advise you to spend money. They are too busy holding onto it with both hands. Talk to Gretchen Hanson on my FB page. She owns a health food restaurant in rehobeth beach. The spillway sounds awesom. A bank loan and a nifty idea like vegan or vegetarian and even kosher foods on the buffet will do well. Not too many kosher restaurants. Kristy Yosick on my FB page owns a Chocolate shop in Columbus that is Kosher. Talk to her. She can give you some ideas.
    Take a hiatus from acting and just sit down and write. If its as good as I think it will be you could afford more from the proceeds. Take a writing workshop if you need motivation. What are you waiting for? Get yourself established then move on to the next dream. You may meet some of the people that you want to write music for in your travels. If you want a bigger house.go find it. Market values are low and interest rates couldn't be better. Hire an older person to cook for you in your new kitchen or Look for a househusband, he' might even have kids. Once your businesses become profitable you can do the traveling. I think you could do it. But you need to get going and put in a lot of hard work. Just like eating an elephant. All it takes is one bite at a time. If you want it bad enough you can do it.

  • Stretched too thin right now. Saving for Italy this Summer. Thought it was going to be covered by my tax return, but my refund is almost half what it was last year - and the Italy Trip is costing on the upper end - or even past the original estimate. But it's more important to me to spend that time in Italy with my Mom, which is why I'm going. The Spillway won't be happening - right after I wrote this, an article came out in the PD that it's getting National Historic status, which will help offset the costs for the owners to finally go through with renovating it. But it is looking like I'll have some time off from theatre after Italy because nobody's doing any shows I want to do this Fall.
