18 Things I Want

August 9, 2012 By Deanna Piercy 4 Comments

I read this post on Thought Catalog yesterday and of course I had to make my own list. Disregarding the obvious things such as world peace, an end to poverty and hunger, health and happiness for all, here is my off-the-top-of-the-head list:

  1. a nap
  2. someone to bring me a cup of tea and a homemade cookie
  3. a hot tub (thinking ahead – it’s way too hot right now)
  4. rain
  5. a huge bouquet of fragrant lilacs on my desk
  6. to be able to snap my fingers or twitch my nose and have the whole house instantly spotless
  7. a full-time gardener to keep me supplied with fresh flowers and produce, as well as keep the whole property pretty. 
  8. to attend a NIN reunion concert
  9. a turntable
  10. The Grateful Dead boxed set
  11. a long weekend in San Francisco
  12. a massage
  13. to be fluent in French
  14. a telescope
  15. to attend Mardi Gras
  16. a hammock
  17. a screened-in balcony with a day bed for naps and such
  18. to live in New Orleans
So what would be on your list? Write a blog post with your list and leave me a link in the comments, or just write your list in the comments. Remember, keep it light. We are going to assume we all want world peace. 🙂

    1) I am going to copy #5, 6, #17 and most importantly #7
    2) 70 degree weather 9 months of the year and no -0 degree winters
    3) my perfect dog to live for ever and ever (he will be 13 in Novemeber)
    4) Enough money to live on so I could go back to school full time, instead of work full time.
    5) No need to get into a discussion but some how some way, I want health care for everyone.

    I just kept reading your list and shouting, "Yes! Yes! Yes!" I need to stop now. My neighbors are starting to talk.

    Hmmm…naps mentioned twice. I sense a theme here. I'm pretty sure my own list would have nap at the top of the list. Right now, it might be THE top 5 items.

    wfbdoglover: Good list! I love the weather one. And #5.

    Bossy Betty: "Let's give them something to talk about" is our family theme song. Ha!

    Cherie: Ha! I hadn't even noticed that about the naps but it's rather telling, isn't it?
