"We don't publish Slice of Life pieces"

7am: Dream about grandparents, want to linger in their presence, hit snooze button til 1030am

10:30am: Surf the web, amputate the hand of morning as it offers an olive branch

11am: Special K w/ red berries (why can't they just call them dehydrated strawberries?), day old coffee w/ White Chocolate creamer, & Community on Hulu

12pm: Scribe a 40 min voice-recorded interview w/ the director of One World Education. Enjoy the task - maybe because I'm passionate about the work this org is doing. Maybe because caffeine causes me to love anything that moves.

1pm: Hanker after more coffee. Drink water instead. Hanker after EatPrayLove. Read Renovation of the Heart instead. Hanker after Hulu. Do yoga poses instead. Hanker after lovemaking. Begin writing the One World Education query instead.

2pm: Discover Washington Family & Washington Parent magazines & consider which publication to query with potential articles. Decide to pursue world domination and query both with different articles.

3pm: Kashmir Spinach/Paneer & Basmati Rice with a side of EatPrayLove.

3:30pm: Hash out some financial details w/ ex-roommate, take a few righteous blows to my ego, emerge humbled and grateful. Slightly dizzy, try to go back to work.

5:15pm: More yoga poses. More coffee.

6pm: Abandon all hope of professional success and head down to Chinatown for beer & Trivia Night.
