an extra hour today: I would wander the produce section of Whole Foods and salivate over all the greens.

an extra one hundred dollars: I would buy myself a new CD (think Brett Dennen, Paul Simon, Simon and Garfunkel, etc.) and spend the other $80 over 2 weeks on all the veggies I wanted from Whole Foods or the farmer’s market (in which case it would last 4 weeks.)

an extra 30 minute today: I would read most of a National Geographic on the porch with lemonade.

an extra fifty dollars: I would buy a new bathing suit for the season

an extra fifteen minutes today: I would look at flights from LAX to CHI and vice versa, to see if a trip to see my sister or for her to see me is fesiable in the next 6 months

an extra twenty dollars: I would buy fancy cheese and low-sodium crackers and a $5 bottle of wine, and have a mini-date with Jeff.

an extra five minutes today: I would write an email to a friend I haven’t talked to in a while, to say “Hi, I like you still. Let’s talk.”

an extra dollar: I would buy a pack of gum.

an extra popsicle: I would give it to you!
