While I was driving home from work today (someday I’ll go back and get a count on how many of my posts start like this) I started thinking about rings. Jewelry type rings. I used to wear a bunch until I started working in daycare (too many things to get caught on: clothing, diapers, skin…or too many crevices to get poop in). I began to create this perfect ring in my head, like, if I had unlimited funds and nothing else to use it on, what would my ideal ring look like (and no, normally I’m not this shallow, honest). I think gold is ugly and diamonds are over rated, so as far as metal goes, definitely white gold or platinum (cause silver tarnishes…meh). And a star sapphire (well, really any kind of sapphire would do) would be good too. And I like bands with sort of a nature look (i.e. vines or leaves). I have no clue where said ring would be found, but it would be awesome to find something like that someday.
This exercise in reflection on my taste is jewelry led me to delve a little further into things that I would like to have, but most likely will never be able to find/afford/have time for etc. So, followers of the blog, I give you, drum roll please……
2. Bathroom: One of those big hotub-esque bathtubs. All the joys of a hot tub without the chlorination and maintenance. Plus, if you recall this little mishap, sometimes an extra large bathing area can be a very good thing.
3. Dessert: Creme Brulee everyday (but magical creme brulee that can be consumed on a daily basis with no consequences for my weight)
4. A room that basically looks like a cross between Starbucks and Barnes and Noble. Lots of books, bookshelves, mahogany, fashionable yet comfortable couches and chairs, hard wood floors, ooh and a fire place.
5. Purple flowers everywhere, I suppose in a backyard or garden, but I’d definitely like a garden big enough and with the climate to have a big section of just purple flowers (irises, lilacs, lavender, pansies.
6. One of those Tempur-pedic mattresses…I mean, come on, wouldn’t everybody like to be ensconced in visco elastic memory foam??
7. Ok, and this is like, the pinnacle, totally unrealistic, but oh my lord if it would ever somehow happen I think my life would be complete (complete materialistically that is…I already have more than my fair share of completeness in other aspects of life): A beach house in Hawaii. I know, don’t hate me for the terrible cliche-ness of that, but it’s true. In a perfect world Cabana Boy and I could go shack up in our own personal beach house for a month or two in the summer.
And that, my friends, is my totally materialistic, uber life of luxury list of excessiveness that only manages to worm it’s way out from the deep dark recesses of the “gimme gimme gimme, iwant iwant iwant” part of my brain maybe once a year or so. Does anyone else have a list like this? Please to share.

I have two Tempur-pedic mattresses, but I could certainly use a Cabana Boy or a cute manny!
Great list.
