Writer's Block: In The Money

If you won $100 this afternoon, what would you do with it?

Yeah, the prompt is from a few days ago.

Actually, now that I think of it, this is a pretty bad choice of entry, because I'd just take the money and forget about it. I mean, if it were cash, probably $60 would go in my wallet and $40 in whatever box I stick extra money in now, and if it were a check, it'd go in my bank account, but I really wouldn't do anything given a $100 windfall. I'm not together enough to budget that amount of cash.

At least it's an entry.

What I'd do is the same as you.

What I'd want to do is this:

Gas up the car on the credit card, grab the dog and the husband and throw them into the car.
Drive three hours down route 13. Eat dinner at the McDonald's in Bethesda.
Get back in the car, drive three hours further down the road, crossing the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel and following the coast.
Stop at 43rd street, get a room in the Marriot North in VA beach with the free points I've been accumulating.

Pig out on fresh seafood with my husband.
Run on the beach with my dog.

sleep like only a person on the edge of the water and the land can sleep.

Y'know, that's a better question: what adventure would you have on $100? I gotta think about that.
