If I Caught a Leprechaun… [Because Prompts are Fun]

It’s almost St. Patrick’s Day, which means we’re daydreaming about shamrocks, green beer, and leprechauns. Okay, maybe not quite, but I sure would love to locate a big pot o’ gold – wouldn’t you?
(Does anyone else find it odd that I’m afraid of clowns but leprechauns don’t bother me? Well, that scary movie one freaks me out.)

5 things I’d buy with his pot of gold:
- A bigger house with a kitchen that actually has counter space. Seriously, have you seen my small kitchen space?
- A trip to Ireland (assuming I wasn’t already there to catch him).
- A brick and mortar shop for cloth diapers and babywearing… and space for mamas to hangout with the kids.
- A lifetime supply of Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs. They are truly better than the regular ones. Without the gold I’ll have to start making these homemade peanut butter cup eggs.
- More money… buy investing and saving (after paying off our debt).
I suppose these are fairly practical. I’d be tempted to go crazy with frivolous things, but would just buy random stuff whenever I felt like it… like a whole bunch of Doctor Who stuff and a replica Iron Throne from the Game of Thrones series.
I wonder if gold coins have an exchange rate?
You know, if I actually found his pot I bet it’d be filled with those chocolate coins. (Who teaches kids to eat money?)
What would you do with a lucky pot o’ gold?
I love your list – a replica iron throne would be pretty cool. :) I hope to go to Ireland one day, too. I have a friend there, so it would be cool to visit her.

I don’t know where I’d put it, but it’d be awesome to have! Or a TARDIS…. ooohSyrana
Yea I forgot to put taking a trip in my list. That would have to happen after everything else though.
I bet Ireland would be cool. And Scotland.

Scotland looks beautiful too!Syrana
Ireland is at the top of my “Out of the States List of Places I must go” I love everything about the culture and the beautiful scenery. Oh, what I wouldn’t give to catch a leprechaun.

I almost wonder if my expectations are too high since I mostly see beautiful scenery on TV etc. I don’t really see the not so great parts of the cities. I still want to go though and maybe do some research while there.Syrana
I would probably put it in the bank. I don’t tend to splurge on much. I might buy a new handbag but it’s not like I actually *need* one. Maybe fuel for next year or a hand pump for water in the garden. I’d have to give it some serious thought.

Just a few gold coins for fun – you deserve it! :)Syrana
I would buy a home, a big beautiful home to call our own. A girl can dream, right?thefrugalette
Nothing wrong with dreaming :)Syrana
That is a lovely dream to have too. I hope it comes true for you…if not soon then someday!
