This is an exciting question. I generally like to think of myself as an idea person, so I choose to address this in terms of things I want most that do not currently exist. Think outside the box, so to speak. Others have called me a dreamer, or a round peg in a square hole, or just shake their heads. That's OK, being different is my mantra.

Here are the Top 10 things I want most (off the top of my head):

1. One of those microwave-type magic meal makers, like in the Jetson's
