“Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.” – the White Queen, Alice in Wonderland.

What are the six impossible things you believe in?

A Skinny Me. I believe I will magically wake up in the morning weighing what I weighed when I was first married. Obviously, magic is impossible.

Winning the Lottery! Ha! I don’t even win at Bingo.

Lollygagging. That means staying in bed with a good book, a Danish pastry, lotsa crumbs and coffee. Ha!

Spring in Full Bloom. O.k., I know it’s on the way and there are signs. “But I want what I want when I want it.” I want to wake up to the tulips and the redbuds and the green green grass at home – NOW!

The Fountain of Youth. Yes, I know that’s truly impossible, but there are the little fountains of youth in skin creams, makeup, hair gels and Spanx. I am also the supreme tester of every vitamin on the market. So far, my hair grows greyer and the frown lines deeper but I still believe in the Fountain(s) of Youth.

A Four Pound Lobster Dinner by the Sea. After all, it’s mostly shell right? And if I have it by the sea, it means I will be on a superb vacation. I’m already packed.

I like your list because I share most of your dreams. We have a lot in common, Dor!

Pretty, pretty photo! We are getting snow here today, but spring is bound to arrive sooner or later. I hope you have a marvelous week!

This is such a fun prompt and I love your answers! Winning the lottery has always been a big fantasy for us. The other big impossibility I still dream of is a family compound where all our kids live next door and across the street.

The birds have begun to sing; I ‘lolly gag’ every morning with my IPad until 8-8:30; we have no lottery in our state; I’m still hoping to lose the same ‘extra’ pounds I put on 20 years; we both are seeking that fountain of youth and lobster dinner! Nice post, Dor!

Sigh! We had snow again yesterday and they are predicting a covering for tonight. Maybe I’ll work on the lottery. Someone has to win, right?

I would love to win the HGTV dream house…I enter every year and I believe they announced the winner recently…not me. 😦 But if they haven’t, maybe I will be surprised before the end of the month. 🙂

I am totally with you on #1-4, but I’ll have to pass on #5. I’m not a seafood person :). I’m thinking lollygagging sounds like a great idea for tomorrow morning though!

For me, lollygagging is a good probability, not an impossibility 🙂 Good list, Dor.

I think you’ve pretty much summed it up there 🙂 The lollygagging would require someone bringing your coffee and snacks to your bed for you – then it would really be heaven.

It’s good to believe in impossible things before breakfast. Now what’s to prevent that breakfast in bed, say, tomorrow? Oh do enjoy those crumbs! Lollygagging seems the most viable of almost not-impossible dreams. P.S. My dad used to call me Lolly when I was a wee one.

I think I’ll try the lollygagging for a bit tomorrow even though there’s another storm brewing. We are getting paranoid about power outages here, so the day will be spent in preparation.
