As I may have mentioned a time or two, I'm not working at the moment - although it sure feels like work to me, and to get someone else to do it I'd have to pay them $15/hour. That's the average in this area for childcare. I remember getting $3/hour and snack privileges. Sheesh.
If I could get a day off, and had unlimited funds, I'd go for a delicious plain croissant and a latte at the coffee place near me. Then I'd hop the subway to Soho and go try on many things. Since this is my magic day off, many of them would fit me in a flattering way, and I would buy them 50% off because everything would be on sale. And my friends would also be playing hooky and able to advise me, for lo, I trust not my taste.
I'd go see a movie by myself and eat sushi in the theater. I'd go to a fancy bar in my fancy new shoes (which I may have forgotten to mention - I was sticking my feet in shoes I never thought I'd buy but I found the perfect pair - also on sale!) and have one perfect drink and some fresh Long Island oysters.
I'd walk home over the Brooklyn Bridge, talking on the phone with my best friend, and take lots of pictures on the way. There would be plenty of time to bake some cookies and eat them in front of a marathon of Parks and Rec and cuddling with my guys and my cat, who would not puke that day, for stepping in and then cleaning up cat puke would be off the menu.
Or scratch all that and I'll spend the day at the beach, alternating topless bobbing around with feet in warm sand.
Too much detail? Next time I'll stop after shoes.
