Did this meme back in May, but I got an idea from Karen's version. When she didn't like her responses to one question she just did a new set of (riotous) answers. So here I go again: How I'd answer if wishes were horses.

You are my new hero! Love this.
good one Liane! I live in my head a lot too. It's not always a good place to be but there you go....
That looks like it was a lot of fun to write. Must do a fantasy meme too - especially the 10 pairs of shoes.
Fantastic answers! Actually these are the sort of questions you could ask your characters when you're getting to know them.
Wow. I wish I had your life.
Only 10 pairs?
Liane, we have so much in common. Let's do lunch in Antigua - I'll have my people call your people, OK?
What really a nun?
And Patagonia??? When? How? What? Such a tantilising meme...says so much but leaves so many stories untold.
TELL ME MORE!
And Tuscany? Where? Where? Where?
Fabulous!
anti-wife, I'm no hero. Just another dreamer... :)
Flowerpot, it's a fun place for sure... Sometimes.
Yvonne, lots of fun. Fantasizing is what I do best.
PJ, now there's an idea!
Chumplet, me too!
Zinnia, Antigua? Consider it done!
Pacha, sadly, it's all fantasy. Which is why I have to write, I suppose.
JJ, if only...
