Favorite way to spend a Saturday/Sunday afternoon:

sleeping or watching a good movie

If you could have three wishes granted, what would they be:

A money tree in my backyard that has $100 bills for leaves...ah heck..meck those $1000 dollar bills. :> I would wish for my mom's health problems to go away and for a complete overthrow of our government with me as the dictator..oh, I mean...president. :>

If you won a million dollars what would you do with it:

I know the PC answer is to give it to charity, but I would pay off my mom's debts, put money aside for the kid's college and invest the rest (after buying some new toys etc). Then I'd see if we could live off of the interest...and hubby and I would just travel and enjoy life without the daily grind.

Yes...and I make wishes if I drive under a bridge with a train traveling on it.
