There was a posting on BlogHer's site asking if anyone would be interested in doing some community service work next Thursday, through T-mobile's Huddle-Up program.
I thought...yes! Help the global community! While everyone else is getting celebrity tours of tv studios I will be doin' it for the kids!
The project is to take place at a Boys & Girls Club in the Bronx. It starts at 9 am.
Now, if I were to do that, in order to get to the boogiedown Bronx by 9 am I would have to leave my house at like 5:30 am. Even though it's for the children, I don't know if that's so smart. I'd also have to schlep my BlogHer bags with me on the subways during rush hour. The only resolution to this unappealingness is to go to NYC on Wednesday night and that means paying another $200...to volunteer.
It's a great opportunity to do something different, and I can then feel superior (HAHAHAH) or just freakin exhausted on Thursday night. But also warm and fuzzy on the inside.
So here are the choices:
- Do everything I just said, but, to recap: pay $200 or wake up at 4:30 am to make it happen.
- Get to NYC by 10 am and go to MOMA.
What'll it be?
p.s. if you don't find this to be a conundrum and you want to do this, leave your email in the comments and I'll forward you the email with all the details.

Volunteering before taking care of self? Which can you give up more easily, money or sleep, that will make you feel good about yourself?
Or, what would you give up in lieu of $200 to keep yourself rested?

I'm sure there are plenty of volunteer opportunities in your own area that won't require you to get up at 4:30 AM, etc. What's so special about the BlogHer volunteer opportunity?

MOMA. I'm a hard-core community service person and I wouldn't do it so I say don't.

good thoughts, girls, thank you. I think my rest and sanity is more important than doing a special project even though it would be out of my ordinary world.
#2 it is.
