For those who want to be me, here’s a current to-do list to copy into your own palm pilot or hipster PDA.
- Process 1700+ photos from 13: The Musical and upload them to maplebarnphoto.com for the nice parents of the nice children who entertained us this weekend
- Put away the suitcase from my January trip to Florida
- Decide which week in August to take a vacation
- Check budget to see if you can afford August vacation
- Decide what to do during August vacation
- Laundry, still and again
- Write a poem about Jesus Toast
- Wash the mound of bird shit off the car
- Lose 50 pounds
- Get a blood test
- Throw out all the stuff that’s been in the freezer for more than a year. That would cover everything but the container of ice cream, some Thin Mints, and a package of frozen blueberries.
- Face the fact that it’s
- Start my next to-do list
I’ll see your 50 pounds and raise you the un-packed bag I found in the cupboard under the bathroom sink from my trip to India in *2009*.
