Put It on the List

A couple weeks ago, I was complaining on Facebook that I was uninspired by my prospects for the day:

Of all the things on my to-do list today, let’s see…yep, I want to do not a damn one of them.

…at which point, friend Deborah listed the various and sundry things she and her wife had already accomplished that morning.

I felt compelled to respond that I hadn’t been sitting on my ass:

I cooked breakfast (eggs, sweet potato home fries, and garlic scapes), walked Redford 2 miles to the gym, did planks and ring dips and squat cleans, walked Redford 2 miles back from the gym, and tried to start my new mower. Stupid fucking thing! I’ma put my foot through somebody’s ribcage! I hate gas mowers! Now I’m going to Home Depot to buy some engine starting fluid. And some mulch. That means I’ll have to mulch. Dammit. In addition, there’s grocery shopping, paying bills, and doing laundry on the list. Who can’t my to-do list include eating ice cream and having sex?

Deborah, wise woman that she is, recommended putting those last two on the list and seeing what happened.

So I did.

Of the two, I managed only one.

But 50% success rate is not bad! If I can do half of whatever’s on my list, maybe I just need to make a better list!

What should I put on my to-do list for tomorrow, Avid Bruxistists?!

  1. Double unders. Remember, slow is fast. Slow down the rate of your jumps and I KNOW the rope will go under your feet not once, but twice! I like kissing your head. Cute haircut! I’m cut.

  2. help margo and dr d pack for cuttyhunk?
    how about get 3 people at random to buy margo’s book?
    oh, ok.
    i suggest 1. cuddle with redford and vi.
    2. make plans to go to cuttyhunk when mand dr d and the kids are there.

  3. Fail! I thought you guys would come up with some good stuff like “bring peace to Syria” and “bear Messiah”.

    Paul, I already have double-unders! Ten to fifteen in a row. I mean, I *had* them. Except for the last FIVE rounds of yesterday’s WOD when I could only do them one at a time. Stupid double-unders.

    Margo, I’ll be doing my own packing. I posted the link for your book on Facebook! (But here it is for my legion of readers: cuttyhunklifeontherock.com
    Read it! I did! I loved it!) Cuddling with R and V is on my list every day. And I’ll already be at the Rock when you’re there.
