The list

Fantasy.
Ahhhh.....What would our lives be without a little fantasy now and then, right?
I thrive on it to keep me from getting too bored with the repetition of life here in suburbia.
I have my list. The one that lists those famous people (real ones are off limits) who, if they came begging me to satisfy them, I would HAVE to oblige. The list has changed only once or twice over the last five years...with regulars, like Rob Lowe, who will never be axed.

Who is on your list? Care to share?

A few years ago I discovered that lots of couples have their lists. We were at a good friend's house one cold winter night. After some cheap wine and chinese take-out we all were feeling pretty cozy, when Ken started sharing his "list" with us.
Although I had never had this discussion with my husband it made me wonder if he had a list and if yes, then who was on it. I wanted to know who he fantasized about in those off couple of hours that he wasn't dreaming of me. Everyone started sharing their lists and the rules that went with them.
"It has to be someone famous and well out of realistic reach."
"He or she MUST come to the door, knock and then beg you to go with them."
"You cannot change any list members without consent of your spouse."

I turned to my husband and asked him who was on his list. He acted like he had never ever given it one thought... he hemmed and hawed...then finally mustered up one very bizarre answer. "I can only think of one major fantasy." he tells me.
"SO, WHO IS IT??" I ask.
After a few more seconds......"Seven of Nine."
Huh? "Who the hell is seven of nine?"

"The half alien half woman from Star Trek."

My husband is fantasizing about an alien being with an extra eye?

Oy.

To this day he says she is the only "creature" on his list.

My list is much more exciting:
Adrian Grenier
Josh Duhamel
Rob Lowe
Jake Gyllenhal
Stone Phillips
Eric Dane ( Dr.McSteamy)
Taye Diggs
Peter Kraus
Tom Cruise (yes, I know..but he is my regular)
Mark Wahlberg

Just reading the list pops eye candy into my head.
Fantasy is a beautiful thing, isn't it?

So, who is on your list?
