What would you do with 24 hours? For those of you single folks this may seem trivial. But to the married parent, any time to yourself feels selfish.
If I had 24 hours to spend on anything. And I wasn’t allowed to feel guilty about what I spent it on. I would clean my house while listening to Dr. Laura. Go for a walk. Have afternoon tea at the Pomeroy. Start reading Crime and Punishment in the afternoon. Go for another walk then meet my husband and baby for dinner at the Benson. And while I was there, I would stay the night in their suite. But not by myself. I’ve heard of mothers doing that. On special occasions moms will stay the night at a hotel without their husbands and children just to relax by themselves. But I don’t think I could do that. I would miss them too much. Besides I think I would have more fun with them that without them.
What would you do with 24 hours?
I would sleep in, go out for espresso, cut some video, play Hearts of Iron 2, post in red.com and other web forums, order some delivery for lunch, take a nap, post-process some photos, play Settlers, read some Tomlinson Homan, edit some audio tracks, walk to the viewpoint and shoot the sunset, hole up in my office and cut some open source perl modules, then go out stargazing with a big map, telescope, and camera.
