Fantasy Day

Last night before we went to bed, Alan and I were discussing what the best "Fantasy Day" would be like. Like, if we could do anything we wanted to for one day and have everything our way, what would we do?
I decided that it would be fun to go to Disneyland for a day, but not have it be crowded at all and not have it be too hot. (At first I wanted to be the only guests in the park, but then I decided that would be just weird. Just us and all the employees of Disneyland--gross.) Of course we wouldn't actually have to pay to go. Also, we would eat in the Blue Bayou Restaurant (an unfulfilled dream of mine) and watch all the people entering the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. The food would be free, too, of course. And while I am dreaming, all the refreshments at the park would be free and also calorie/fat-free.
Of course, taking some kind of trip for a day on some kind of tropical beach would be a fun getaway, too. But it couldn't be too sunny or hot, and the water would have to be warm. And I would probably change the way that seawater tastes, too. Gross. Maybe sugary instead of salty? I often picture myself sitting in a hammock between two palm trees on a white-sand beach, watching the sunset. I would have a tropical drink melting in my hand, and I would be falling in love to the rhythm of a steel-drum band. I would perfect my chemistry (with Alan), and by and by I'd defy a little bit of gravity. :)

Then I started feeling guilty that the two above mentioned Fantasy Days excluded little Jared. Why should my Perfect Day exclude someone I love so much? So I started to make up a wonderful day that would include him. Of course, he wouldn't have any diapers to change that day and would only play with things he was supposed to play with! And he wouldn't be a picky/messy eater and he wouldn't get tired or cranky. I guess if I eliminated those factors about Jared, then we could do pretty much anything that day! Picnic somewhere? Tropical beach? Or even just a lovely, leisurely dinner at an extremely fancy restaurant where Jared wasn't acting high-maintenance. Of course there would be lots of (free) chocolate desserts with no fat or calories.

I guess in any fantasy of mine, I would be able to eat as much chocolate as I wanted without any consequences. :)

I love chocolate. Did you know it really helps people feel better (just ask our Occupational Therapist)? It totally makes sense.

Unlimited chocolate with no consequences - that is definitely a fantasy of mine! =)

How about a perfect one or two or three day getaway in Arches? Who could ask for anything more? Perhaps the only thing better would be to have unlimited Bratwurst and Saurkraut at the same time

right now a fantasy day for me would be sleeping in and not doing any homework!

My fantasy day would definitely include a warm beach with kids during the day, and a fabulous meal at a resturaunt on the beach without kids at night.

Beaches are great for everything!

What about a day when every friend you ever had was there, but it wasn't awkward at all, like no time had passed at all, and everyone got along and knew everyone else? Or what about living in a cul-de-sac with us next door? That would be cool! (Maybe that's what heaven will be like--and there better be chocolate and beaches!)

Oh Loola. Of course chocolate doesn't have calories!
