The 65 Degree To Do List

Run to bedroom window at 7:30 am. Confirm that one of your neighbors really is blasting “That’s Life” by Frank Sinatra this early on a Sunday. Curse. Drink remaining water from last night’s glass and discover that it has a massive crack. Check mirror to make sure lip is still intact. Put your eyes in and Turbo Jam.

Shower after hard workout and head out the door ASAP to negate workout’s effects with a slice of pizza. Make special note to blame friend for ruining diet. Your taste for pizza would surely have never returned if it weren’t for Friday night’s pizza run on Joe’s. Brown rice cakes and peanut butter were just fine until then.

Work the slice off by walking into Manhattan over the Queensboro bridge. Remember walking home from the city on 9/11. Remember running into the city for the marathon. Remember walking home during two blackouts. Remember, remember, remember.

Cut through Central Park…with the rest of the free world.

Propose to random trumpet player.

Bippity-bop around midtown and be sure to pay your fee to enter Manhattan for one day. 40 bones for mousse and a book you’ve been meaning to read should cut it.

Take the train home because walking back over the bridge is just dramatic. Skip Baskin Robbins since you’re taking the train home. Text your friend and remind him you’re on for a movie this week. Vacuum your floors before it gets too late so as to avoid your neighbors below having a thrombosis. Send an email to your best friend who is away for a long time, telling him he stinks and you freaking miss him.

And when you get home, be grateful for the longer days and the excellent light your bedroom gets. The broken glass is half full.

Check.

    Umm. Excuse me, but I think pizza was YOUR idea. I was totally fine. And I might remind you that I was okay with my one slice and you made me get another one. But I don’t blame you. It was delicious.

    Kim, pizza was def not my idea. As you well know, I am morally opposed to a slice after drinking. However, I know that I am to blame for the second slice. I know this because I remember thinking, “maybe 3?”

    RT, don’t worry..he sings, too. I just hope I can get him to quit smoking. I don’t think my family would approve. Also, second hand smoke wouldn’t be safe around our future children.
