My Day in Moments

Things I did today

wrote a poem
lost my wallet
met a stranger who found my wallet
pet a baby Clydesdale
ate lemon sorbet
ate lunch outside
laughed
spilled apple juice
lost my palmpilot
found my palmpilot
read poems for Crab Creek Review

Things I didn't do today

write my morning pages
say no to dessert
visit a blog that's been bothering me
where the right clothes (it got hot today!)

*

Things I will do later today

go to the library
pick up delicious pastries for a friend
go for a walk
mail five postcards
pick lettuce and argula from my garden
