If you could have one day to do anything you want what would you do?

Spend a day in the mountains/woods. Fish, Hike, Read, Listen to music....whatever else seemed good at the time.

And be totally alone.

I would like to manipulate one of those big tall cranes on a building site. I would like to use an enormous mechanical digger from a cab, high up above the ground. And I would like to drive around in a little dumper truck.

Then I would like to go for lunch to a little French cafe.

After lunch, I would like to take a ride in a glider or a hot air balloon.

Then I would go to my Mum's for a hot bath and high tea.

Then I would like to go to the Free Trade Hall in Manchester and listen to a promenade concert by the Halle Orchestra, conducted by George Weldon - I would like them to be performing 'Rhapsody in Blue' by George Gershwin. And excerpts from Mozart's 'Magic Flute'.

Then I would like to go out to dinner with my five friends who came with me to the concert.

Not exactly simple pleasures......but that is what I would like. :D

I'd like to spend a whole day alone in a real big library with real old books.

I'd play tag with the world.

Or I'd have sushi with all my friends together. (It's hard to get all of them in one spot. Usually, I can only get one or two at a time to hang around with.)

I would like to have one day, just one, where I was only responsible for myself, and my dogs. Just one day without any obligations! I can only dream. :(

I try to do one thing I really want each day. Be it a favorite hobby or just saying hello to someone that puts a smile on my face. IT MAKES THE DAY THAT MUCH BETTER!

To answer your question though...

I'd say "Hi I'm Wendy" :)

My family is scattered to the four winds, so I'd spend the day on a tropical beach with all of us together, drinking Margaritas and playing in the water.

By anything you mean anything at all even if it's made up. Then i'd like to be as intelligent as Einstien and be able to comprehend the things that he could comprehend.

Post Re: If you could do anything for one day
I live in a very rainy part of the US, so I would want to travel to a sunny beach with WARM water, and surf! Learning how to surf is a fascination of mine, I would love to have an entire day with a surf board. And walk through an old Irish town eating a big pan of Sheperd's Pie!
