Some things remain part of us, always.
Monday: Go out & buy all the cheapo fireworks left & set them off tonight in random places (that are safe & far from houses). I love seeing one lone random firework.
Tuesday: Aaaand go home & scrub yourself raw after each shopping trip. So disgusting.
Wednesday: Get a little more familiar with the interesting history of that tiny little bathing suit you’re wearing.
Thursday: Give in to that temptation you’ve been feeling. I’ve been craving a night out dancing (which is so far from the Standard Alzy it’s almost obscene.) What’s calling out to you these days, macaroons?
Friday: Learn some key phrases in a foreign language- any language. I have a bunch of foreign students working my department & every day they teach me so much that it’s embarrassing how little American “culture” knows of the rest of the world. I’ve learned a couple Turkish & Chinese phrases & can’t wait to see how much more I learn about myself & the world during the rest of the summer.
Weekend Homework: Create your own version of a mobile lemonade stand- perhaps walk around town with a bag full of freeze pops & sell them for $1. A friend & I once decided to be mobile kissing booths for the day. We made up T-shirts that read “Kiss for $1″ on the front & “Kissmonger” on the back. Miraculously, no one threw beverages at us & neither of us contracted anything. Get some exercise while making people smile (or look at you like you’re insane).
