In a perfect world...

If the world was perfect, it wouldn't be.

~Yogi Berra

It has been pointed out to me by two of my children that I am a slacker. And based on this week alone, I would have to agree with them. I have been missing in action when it comes to the blog, but I am back and have a lot to blog about. In all fairness, I had posted a blog mid-week about Kyle's new dog, who turned out to have some issues and unfortunately had to be returned to the shelter. I removed that blog and had some evening work commitments, but I am back...and snowed in.

How many times have you heard the expression "in a perfect world..."? My perfect world changes on a daily basis, but here are a few of the items that would make my list right now.
1. You only have to have a job if really want one, it would be totally optional, and if you do choose to have one, you love it.
2. Airlines would be required to provide free tickets for family members living more than a 4 hour drive away from each other.
3. Chocolate would not have any fat or calories.
4. Your metabolism would stay the same at 50 as it was when you were 20.
5. When you find the perfect haircut, color, style etc, you could "freeze dry" it for as long as you want so it would be a good hair day everyday.
6. Thinking about exercise would be as effective as actually doing it.
7. Dinners would never take more than 15 minutes to prepare and you would always have all the ingredients you need in your cupboard, even it is something you've never heard of.
and prompted by the current weather situation...
8. Temps would never vary more than a low of 60, and a high of 80.
9. Snow would only occur when you wanted (preferably weekends) in the amount that you desire and it somehow would magically not fall on any sidewalks or streets.
10. Dogs could go out in the snow or rain and come back into the house totally dry (see pic above) and free of ice, snow and general crud. Oh yeah, their poop would magically disappear from the yard too!

So for today this (the list, not this picture!) would be my perfect world. What would yours be?
