Every now and then I get into this delicious mood, where I like to think of all those unreasonable, sometimes impossible things I could ask for. And then I like to imagine what it would be like if they actually came true. It’s something I do from time to time to escape into a world where everything goes my way…
Unreasonable ask # 1-involves a delectably naughty indulgence. Think of rich, velvety chocolate sauce, generously dribbled over scoops of creamy dark chocolate and vanilla ice cream, fresh strawberries dancing around the edge of the bowl, drizzled with a soft berry sauce, crisp maltesers teasing the magnificent amounts of whipped cream which sits on top of the most absurd slice of moist chocolate cake.
Now every time I want to escape to one of my “happy places” and tuck into this bowl of pleasure, I want it to be 100% guilt free. I want it to be good for health. In fact, I want it to feature on an episode of The Biggest Loser as the next big fat-buster breakthrough. What a perfect moment in a perfect world!
Unreasonable ask # 2- A total ban on school children using my tram in the mornings as I make my way to work. I adore kids at the best of times, but when it’s a drizzly Monday morning, and you’re not particularly looking forward to yet another long week of work, battling your way on board a jam-packed tram to mercilessly fight for a measly 2cm x 2cm spot is akin to getting your teeth pulled at the dentist without anesthesia. Their bags alone take up the space of at least three adults. And let us not fail to mention the innumerable key chains and glittering accessories which adorn their bags that have on occasion, ripped through my brand new stockings.
Okay, so I realize this idea of banning children from boarding my tram might be a little iniquitous. But they’re all from private schools in my area, so surely they can afford to pool in and buy themselves a bus to take them back and forth? Or how about I take my fantasy a step further and just give myself my very own tram. I wouldn’t be totally selfish and I just might allow a few choice individuals to board- i.e. tall, good looking, Spartan-worthy men.
Unreasonable ask # 3- once a month, I would get to walk through a department store of my choice, armed with an unlimited credit card donated by some anonymous do-gooder who wishes to forever remain unidentified.
So yes, sometimes I like to ponder these little wants of mine and smile as if they are all actually true. It would make me such a happy little chappy.
Of course these only touch on my many superficial, somewhat vacuous wants. But the changes I’d like to see happen in the world are for another entry, on another day where I’m not feeling quite as silly...

I also am guilty of such daydreams. I dream about the oh so cute convertible orange mini i can see myself wizzing around in and not having to go to work ever and to travel the world at my leisure. But most importantly, a world where I do not gain weight, do not have pimples or wobbly bits and where I have within my grasp said tall, good-looking, spartan worthy man.
Cheers,
Bec
