I never really thought about this before... I read Sarah's blog about this and she has a good point, For real, what a tease to only get to spend ONE day in the switch. It just doesn't seem long enough really experience much of anything if its only 24 hours worth of time. So I have two thoughts on what I would like for one day. Now this isn't me really SWITCHING lives with anyone but experiencing two things I have never before (one realistic and one not).
The not realistic "switch," I would LOVE to spend a day in the 1940's. Not that I would really want to experience WWII but there is something about it that fascinates me. The women were beautiful, men handsome, people went out dancing (not grinding and slutty but really fun and free), men escorted the ladies, the world wasn't corrupted the same way it is now (Not that I think there wasn't corruption, but not like today)...i don't know its silly but I would love it! I always ask my grandparents about that time of their lives, when they were closer to my age what it was like, I love the stories. I wouldn't want to go back to that time for good, I love my technology, my freedom/power of being a woman, being able to go out in sweats, no makeup and messy hair and be fine (I mean I live in SF, no one cares!) but for a day I think it would be fun to experience that time.
Now the more realistic "switch" that I have never done but always have wanted to, I would love to stay in bed all day with my significant other. Not because we are sick and have to stay in bed all day, but because we don't have anywhere else we have to be so we can spend the day laying in bed, watching movies, reading, talking, relaxing, and just being together with no agenda. If Paul and I were to ever have the ability to do this, food (and coffee!) would of course be in order but once we got food to go back and just lay around all day together would be amazing. Even when I don't have to work or be somewhere I have a hard time not getting up and going, Paul is the same way (maybe even worse then me!) I think in my life i have watched too many chick flicks and have always wanted that romance where you can just lay together in bed all day. I put this in the "switch" topic because it would be so out of character for me to do it that it would feel like a switch in lives for a day and I defiantly wouldn't see myself doing that for more than one day! What would make it even better would be to be back in the winter snowy weather and stay in bed all day. In California it gets cold and rainy and you want to stay inside, but that's such a different feel from the winter wonderland (which Paul has NEVER experienced!) I use to love the snowy, cold nights in Chicago and laying in my apartment in warm clothes with a hot drink in hand watching movies and relaxing because it was just too cold to go out, I would love to share that for a day with Paul.
Both "switches" seem pretty silly, I realize, but they are both curiosities I have. And while the going back in time wont happen, maybe, just maybe I will someday lay in bed all day and do nothing! (Imagine me without an agenda!)
