Weekend productivity at all-time low
Posted on | February 13, 2005 |
I’m not sure that it’s even possible to be less productive in a weekend than I was. I did check out a cool band Friday night. Got home late — woke up at an equally late time. A scant three hours later, I took a nap.
(Oh, did I mention that Food Network had a Chocolate Obsession marathon on ALL WEEKEND? Me watching shows about chocolate all weekend. One would think that’s not a good combo.)
A new piano book has beget further non-productivity. The song of the hour is Sonata Pathétique by Beethoven. It’s 18 pages long, taking a good half hour to play completely through. I’ve played it many times this weekend. You do the math. Then calculate its inverse relationship to my weekend productivity.
Sunday I woke up late again and didn’t wander out of my apartment until four o’clock — and even then, the driving force behind that adventure was the search for coffee. Sad I know.
(By the way, did I tell you about the chocolate obsession marathon on Food Network and how I watched about six hours of it on Sunday? People putting gooey, smooth, yummy chocolate in everything. Me, a woman, watching this — for six hours.)
I drank coffee, did a little shopping, and finally gave into my weekend long chocolate craving. I bought some good dark chocolate, melted a small square and dipped some strawberries in it. I consider this to be the ultimate in restraint. The strawberries rocked, the craving satisfied.
Okay, full disclosure: I also had a little sugar-free chocolate pudding with my dinner. But it’s sugar-free and fat-free, and I will not feel bad about it.

Wasn’t this the weekend that all love-less starlets hit the bars/clubs to hopefully find a date?
