For some reason, I was compelled to get up super-duper extra early today to start working, so even though it’s only about noon, I feel as if I have already put in a full day at the office. But I’m working from home, not at the office, and there are many hours to go before I can rest. I have to finish my pull-ups, go to the gym, design fifty million things before Rob comes home, and then there are . . . The Challenges.
Besides the challenge of trying to forget my encounter with a Crazy Person last night, there’s also Content Challenge. Yes, yes. Hello, Content Challenge, my old friend. There’s also the challenge of being “tagged” by my husband on that blog meme of naming five things to do in my city. (Rob is blogging again, in case anyone was wondering.) There’s also the challenge issued by knottyboy in my comments about revealing my mythical, magical to-do list to the world.
OK, first things first: Crazy Person, begone from my mind!
Second, check.
Third, see below.
Fourth, see tomorrow.
Five things to do in Baltimore (presented without hyperlinks as I am hyperlinked out for the day)
1. Go into the City Café and ask them why, every year, all of their prices go up by a dollar while, at the same time, all of their portions get smaller.
2. Walk up Charles Street from the Washington Monument to Mount Royal Avenue. Tally how many times you are approached by (a) schizophrenic people who are critical of your appearance; and (b) panhandlers from across the land who were put off of buses in Baltimore, had their wallets stolen, and now need money for another ticket that they PROMISE to mail back to you when they get to their destination.
3. Go to the National Aquarium in the Inner Harbor. I usually don’t truck with fish, but I have to admit that this place is diverting. If nothing else, Flippy and Flappy are hungry.
4. Go to the American Visionary Art Museum. Tally how many exhibitors from your Charles Street list have galleries devoted to them.
5. Stay home and watch TiVo.
Now guess how many of these things I do on a regular basis.
