[melissalt]

I would buy a big piece of land with water access and build myself my dream home. I would hire the best kitchen designer in the world to come create a kitchen that would be the envy of the finest chefs, and I would fill it with everything I could possibly need. For the water, I'd buy a simple boat and a few WaveRunners for fun. I would then buy all the jewelry and books (since a fantastic library would be part of my dream home) I've ever wanted. No more remainders or used trade paperbacks -- new fancy hardcovers. As for jewelry, diamonds and alexandrite until my money ran out (if it hadn't already).
