If I Had Nothing to Do

1. If I had nothing to do, I would sit down and read my husband’s three novels back-to-back. 2. If I had nothing to do, I would make new curtains for the front room. 3. If I had nothing to do, I would stop at every garage sale I pass. 4. If I had nothing to do, I would teach myself piano, and Spanish, and American Sign Language. 5. If I had nothing to do, I would finish the Star Wars jigsaw puzzle I started before Christmas. 6. If I had nothing to do, I would make a Little Library to put out at the corner of my property. 7. If I had nothing to do, I would repaint the KidsPlay logo on the trailer. 8. If I had nothing to do, I would put down new tile in the guest bathroom, and paint it, or at least replace the Christmas shower curtain that’s in there now. 9. If I had nothing to do, I would make that cute little jumper that Amy and I bought a pattern and fabric for…three (?) years ago. 10. If I had nothing to do, I would read all of Barbara Kingsolver’s books in chronological order; and reread John Irving’s; and Christopher Buckley’s. I would reread the Harry Potter books; and all of Larry McMurtry’s. 11. If I had nothing to do, I would return to my blog. 12. If I had nothing to do, I would gather in all my photos from their assorted drives, my phone, my laptop and all those CDs and organize them. 13. If I had nothing to do, I would take Lily to the dog park and let her run. 14. If I had nothing to do, I would reorganize the garage and maybe park a car in there. 15. If I had nothing to do, I would single-handedly bring back the art of letter-writing. I would write to Kate and Charlie and Roberta and Gail. And Jennie and Andy and Kurt and Amy and Dennis. If I had nothing to do, that is.
