While we were bored at a conference, Cujo and I decided to play a game of MASH. A throwback to our middle school years together, perhaps, but still a fun game of future imaginings now that we are all "growed up." If you haven't heard of MASH before, it is a mix of cootie-catcher and mad libs with your life; there are different categories and each one gets 4 choices. Then the randomizer goes through and picks out what your life will look like. As we got more and more bored, the MASH futures got more and more interesting (mine was the first and therefore not very interesting.)
Interestingly enough, these games prompted quite excellent stories, so feel free to use this method as a way to concoct new stories.

Once she met Channing Tatum, she moved into his mansion and gave up shoveling coal for a living. He bought her a smart car (because of all the guilt she had over shoveling coal for the last several years of her life.) They went on a cruise for their honeymoon, but no babies were made during that lovely time (thanks condoms!) Filled the lonliness left by not having kids by cloning a dinosaur from a DNA strand she found while shoveling coal. She and the dinosaur would roam around the town, she dressed up as Xena. They were a much loved installment in the local parade scene of the town.
