Friday Formerly Known as Thursday

October 16, 2008

Tomorrow is Alaska Day, and with my new job I magically get this fake holiday off from work. Paid, even. Which I am completely fine with.

I have absolutely no idea what I am going to do with an entire day without any plans (other than a 5.30 appointment to get my winter tires put on, because I don't know if you've noticed? But Alaska has been snowing all week? I'm still betting that the next two months will be dry and un-snowy because I'm getting my tires changed on Friday).

I think I'll start with a morning run at the gym that I haven't had time for. And at some point around lunch I'll deliver the CD of wedding photos I took two weekends ago.

I could... what? Sit around all day without pants? Nap? Ooh, maybe I'll get a bra fitting and spend a bunch of money. Or! I could take my self portrait while there is still daylight. That would be novel.

I could study for my French midtern. Or get laundry done and out of the way. Make those macaroons I've been craving since my last trip to Juneau. Paint my toenails that have been naked for... too long. Do some long-neglected cleaning.

I'm leaning more towards not wearing pants.

I'd recommend antlers.

And when folks ask, point at them and say in an annoyed, exasperated way, "Alaska Day".

Next year, count how many folks are also wearing antlers.

I actually own a pair of costume antlers. I have no idea why. The combination of antlers and no pants will surely made an impression.

So YOU are the one who caused all the snow to disappear right after I got studs on the work van!
