Today’s agenda, originally:
Grocery shopping
Comment on a million slices
Walk the dogs
Clean walls so they can be painted
Meal prep
Catch up on housework
Read
Do some PT exercises
Throw in a few loads of laundry
…until my husband’s friend came through with tickets to the Big 10 Championship Semifinals. Him: “Well, it might mean we have to cancel our dinner reservation.”
Me: “How is it even a QUESTION?”
So, we interrupt this day of Perfectly Logical Errands and Chores to bring you…FUN.
Clockwise, starting at top left: 1) me somehow not able to take a selfie and look at the camera simultaneously; 2) cool light-up bracelets that were synchronized throughout the arena (and lost their excitement after about 10 minutes); 3) Michigan cheerleaders riling up the crowd; 4) Michigan players taking the court (before almost rolling over for Wisconsin); 5) A shot of the scoreboard to start the game, just for my mom who’s cheering for UCLA from beyond; 6) A celebration of the proper team winning.
…oh. And those dinner reservations? We’re home in plenty of time. Win. Win. Win.

Grocery shopping can be done anytime. Commenting, so you only do 900,000. Big game tickets, top priority.
Bering from Indiana, scoring Big 10 tickets is a huge win! Sounds like a perfect day!

It was! It was! And I’m not sad about being able to wear my Purdue gear to school today =)
FUN! Yes!
It’s so satisfying when we allow ourselves to postpone errands to make space for FUN!
I love that you included all those photos to tell part of this slice. When I drop everything to have fun, I get a rush to capture the moment quickly so I can live it! Click!
Thanks, Ana. A friend of mine recently told me about how she’s trying to take more photos to document her life, and I thought yeah. I need to do the same! So I’ve been trying to snap more photos when I get the chance. Haven’t regretted it yet.
Lainie, I think you left one important thing off the agenda: Plans are made to be broken! This slice and the photos that go along with it are evidence that you made the right choice. Well done!
Agreed, Giovanna! And I’d do it again in a heartbeat.
The structure of your slice draws your reader in; A list or plan , fun-filled photos with captions and something you were able to do from the list, afterwards.
Thanks, Juliette. We don’t often do spontaneous things like that, so it was fun getting the chance.
sounds like an amazing way to procrastinate!
Ha. Thanks. It was!
Abso-LUTELY!
What a cool, exciting surprise I would ditch all plans for. I’m glad y’all were able to go to the game! 🙂
Me too! I’m still smiling about it.
