It doesn’t seem fair that I go along all winter desperately investigating and inventing things to do and then spring shows up and suddenly some weekend in April there’s a nimiety (I just found this word, but I’m totally inserting into conversations now…) of activities to squeeze between Friday and Sunday.

This weekend, those things include:

• Finish a cover letter.
• Pick up freebies at Free Comic Book Day (there are two comic book shops within a mile of our apartment).
• Visit embassies for their annual open house.
• Stop at my local library branch for their first used book sale.
• Head across town to a friend’s housewarming party. (Also, pick up a gift. I wonder if he’d like some free comic books… But it will probably be alcohol.)
• Plant the four seedlings I dropped off at the garden on Wednesday. Also, thin some of my seeds. (Seriously, it’s like the only ones that wanted to grow were the ones I dropped in groups.)
• Buy strawberries and pea shoots and asparagus at the farmers market.
• Send out some mail. (May is a very mail-y month.)
• Spend Sunday at admiring sheep and petting wool (and vice versa) at Sheep & Wool.
• Return the rental car. (Rudi has to go to Pennsylvania in the morning for a meeting and it didn’t cost much more to keep it another day so I could head up to Howard County on Sunday.)

How about you? What do you have on tap for the weekend?
