Things I wish were delivered

[pin]

A few weeks ago, The Today Show did a story about how grilled cheese delivered by parachute is in the near future for NYC residents.  Seriously?  They can already get practically everything delivered (by regular methods), and now they get grilled cheese on parachutes too?  Not fair.

In case you're new around here, I live in Des Moines, IA.  It's not a small town by any means, but it's definitely not one of the nation's major cities either.  And I'm mostly OK with that.  Traffic is a minor problem.  Violent crime is rare. I can get from one side of the city to the other in about 30 minutes.  Maybe less sometimes.  Des Moines also has a great arts community, delicious food offerings, a burgeoning music scene, and a fantastic recreational trail system.

But we definitely don't have parachuting grilled cheese.  In fact, food delivery isn't a big thing here.  I'm pretty sure the only delivery options I have are pizza, Jimmy John's, and a few Chinese places. There is a Flying Burrito place, but they don't deliver to my area (and I just told you about the size, so that tells you something). In other words, my delivery options are VERY limited.

Here are a few other things I wish I could have delivered:

Coffee
You don't know how many mornings the office java just isn't cutting it. I need something stronger and darker (that's what she said).  But I can't leave my desk.  Or at least I shouldn't.  I would love it if Starbucks, Caribou, or even one of the local coffee places would deliver a steaming cup of dark roasted coffee to me.

Cupcakes
I'm sure I could have a dozen or more delivered.  But what if I just want one?  Oh, who am I kidding ... I could eat more than one cupcake.  Or I suppose I could share the others.  But, honestly, I'd love to just be able to order a single cupcake.

Ice cream
One night last week, I was sitting at home after work (read: sans pants) and I thought, "I really want a hot fudge shake."  But I didn't want to put on pants or leave the house.  So I didn't have a shake.  Maybe that saved me some calories and money, but ... I still wish this kind of service existed.

Laundry detergent
Don't tell me I'm the only one who has gotten a full load ready to go only to realize I'm out of detergent.  Then I have to decide how badly I need the clothes or if they can wait another day.

Feminine hygiene products
The reasoning for this is similar to that for the laundry detergent.


What would you add to my list?
