What I will do with my free time

I will have 1.5 weeks between my old job and my new job, and I have been fantasizing about fabulous things that I can do with my time off. Here is my working list of possibilities. Let me know if you would like to join for any of these activities!

Wednesday March 16:
  • go to Fresh Espace for a facial, where the cost of the treatment is redeemable in Fresh product
  • make some more bead necklaces and bracelets, with the huge package of crystal beads I picked up from GreenFlea on Sunday (a great farmer's market and jewelry/flea market, held in the yard and cafeteria of a public school on the UWS every weekend)
  • read some serious and not so serious books (like Shopaholic Ties the Knot from Alli-O)
  • attempt to get $20 rush tickets for Wicked; see Robots if attempt fails
Thursday March 17:
  • do my taxes
  • see the Diane Arbus exhibit at the Met (was too crowded on the weekend)
  • wear my recently completed pastel green scarf to watch the New York St. Patrick's day parade on the steps of the Met
  • continue the St. Patrick's day festivities in my old neighborhood, the UES
Friday March 18:
  • practice commuting to Short Hills
  • read with my Power Lunch buddy
  • see cool Gregory Colbert nature/animal photography exhibit (called Ashes and Snow, thanks Christine) at the Nomadic Museum (building made of shipping containers) at Pier 54 (13th St. & Hudson River)
  • see the musical Avenue Q, with TKTS tickets
  • go dancing somewhere fun
Saturday March 19:
Sunday March 20:
  • go to GreenFlea again to buy some pretty potted plants and bulbs

    isn't part of the fun of not working not being on a schedule?
    I'll go neighborhood walking with you though.

    I'll be in TO 3/23-24. We'll have to squeeze though - my schedule looks very tight. It's going to be an FG week!

    You do power lunch too? It's fun, except when you get hoarse.

    You should also make time to go sailing.
