My perfect day is A day where I tell the right jokes, the right stories, to make the right people laugh.

My Perfect Day I would wake up and hear the surf through my window, it would be lovely and warm with a light breeze. Me and the dog would roll out of bed and go frolic on the beach for a bit, then some nice breakfast, I'm thinking mushroom omlette and fresh fruit. Bit of time in the workroom on a project or so, bit of time in the garden working on this and that, meet up with some doggie and human friends for a nice long walk on the beach. Then a shower, leisurely read for a bit and possibly some light dozing, bit more workroom, partner who currently does not exist but who I am imagining for this scenario comes over, we go out to a friend's house for a really excellent dinner with lots of laughter and conversation and wine and possibly a mildly tipsy volleyball game, then home for a foot massage, because the imaginary partner gives a very fine foot massage, and then you know, other activities. ;)
Alright, here we go... I wake up. There's no anxiety. It's raining so there's no pressure to go out and do anything. I move from the bed to the couch where I spend the day reading and writing and eating mixed with an occasional nap.
My perfect day would be waking up next to my wife early in the morning messing around a little, going down to the screen porch with a cup of coffee to watch the birds for awhile, then playing a quick 9 holes of golf, going to a nice restaurant for a light lunch, then going to one of my favorite state parks to hike for the afternoon. Pick up some takeout on the way home for supper, and eat it on the screen porch along with a glass or two of beer, and then read a book until its time to go to bed.
It's a perfect day when I see a smile on the face of everyone I meet.
My perfect day starts when I wake up to sunshine through the bedroom windows, rather than to the buzz of the alarm clock. It moves at a stately pace through two cups of good coffee, knitting, a tasty brunch, an afternoon bath wherein I read, a short nap, a mid-afternoon post-nap cup of coffee, a walk in the sunshine, a delicious dinner prepared by someone else, an evening with friends or loved ones or both and ends with bedtime in a lavender-scented room.
Well, this won't be a giveaway at all. Consider this your freebie. My perfect day: sleep late but not so late that I feel like I'm wasting the day.
Finish editing a story that I'm really happy with.
Take a nice hike with my dog.
Take a nice ride on my pony.
Have a great dinner out with my girl, preferably having been whisked magically to Seattle for the evening.
A good jam with my favorite musicians, or a good show with my band.
"My perfect day would ba a Sunday. Waking up knowing I have nothing planned for me for my day. One of the kids woulld bring me in a cup of tea and I'm allow to read for a while before I lazily get up. I can read, listen to music, play with my friends on goodreads, go for a run. Yeap my perfect day is an entirely selfish thing."
ANOTHER BIG ASS EDIT - I FORGOT ANOTHER ONE.ANSWER 122:
My perfect day would start with sleeping in, until 8:00 or so. Then I'd get up at a very leisurely pace and make my way down to my fully staffed kitchen, where my coffee & breakfast would be waiting for me.
After eating and having a coffee or two, I'd indulge in a ridiculously hot and long shower and take my sweet time getting dressed. Then I'd go outside and lay in the sun for a few hours, doing nothing in particular - maybe listen to some music. I'd spend the afternoon reading, then go out for dinner and a movie with my family. In the evening, I'd demand my spouse service me and then I'd sleep like a rock.
Alright, they're all there. Go.
Oh, and those of you that don't know, we typically identify answers by mgs #. For example, "Could msg 121 be [blank]?" And it's a lot more fun when you talk about your reasoning process. You don't have to guess all at once either.
#120 - Sarah Pi#113 - Michele
ETA #120 because of the horses, dog and dinner with her girl. #113 because of the migraines.

(Not sure why slot 15 is blank. Maybe for Elijah?)
I'm not in the game, but I think I know 113, 117 and 120. The rest of them all look like Heidi to me.
Hey, I made some edits to messages 105 and 122.
Slot number 15 is blank because someone pulled out, and I was too lazy to renumber.
I knew mine was too easy, but I didn't want to lie. Also, I left out "and a board game with my family."
Bun, she's in. I think I forgot to put her name on the list, but she's in.
When do y'all want me to start telling you if you're right or wrong?Oh, and just a reminder - Heidi isn't in the game, and check the edits.

Barb does seem like a good bet for 106. It's someone with a sense of humor.
