Stuck for something to do since it’s a snow day? (Besides trying to dig out, that is) Here’s some ideas:
• Sneak outside when no one’s looking and grab some snow to make a bunch of snowballs. Put them in plastic bags or containers and store them in the freezer until summer. This works very well for those of us with an extra fridge … When summer rolls around and people start busting out water balloons and squirt guns, you have a whole new kind of ammunition. Surprise!
• Lay a blanket on the floor and have yourself a little indoor picnic. If you have a fireplace, that can add a special touch. Get the wine. Make the food. You’re all set … You can stick to the normal picnic menu options like sandwiches, potato chips, etc. Or, you can take it up a notch by making recipes you’ve been wanting to try out. Or, depending how bad the weather is, you can always just order delivery.
• You know those mini-classes or online “how-to” tutorials? Try one out. It’s always good to learn something new, especially if it’s something you never got around to learning. Here’s some ideas: knitting, cake decorating, making your own sushi, creating home-made ornaments, or any DIY projects.
• Look outside your window at all that snow … a perfect blank canvas for your work. Any plastic spray bottles you aren’t using will work, so fill them with water and add food coloring. Now you have your paint. Or, if you’re lazy you can just use actual spray paint if you have it … Anyway, the snowy blanket outside is your canvas, so get to work.
• Like many, you may be in need of a job, looking elsewhere for work, or planning a career move. Now’s the time to go over your resume … since you’re not really doing anything anyway. Surf the net for available work, but only after you’ve perfected that resume. Even if you’re not interested in finding new work, it’s always important to have an updated resume ready for any opportunity that may arise.
• You can’t really get out of the house much, so you should find a way to get a little exercise. If you have a treadmill, elliptical, or step machine, you can put it to use. Or, just pop in a fitness DVD and get to work.
• Spending so many hours indoors while the weather outside is awful can definitely put that imagination in overdrive. Start planning a vacation for yourself … whether it’s just a weekend away, a trip for the summer, or a holiday excursion. If you’re on a budget, there are tons of deals on Living Social, Expedia, and Groupon to get you started. You can also check out Pinterest for places to go and great activities to do on vacation.
• Bucket lists are always a good idea, whether you’re making one for your life or just for the year. Take a little while to jot down everything you’ve ever wanted to do. Hopefully, most of your dreams are within reason. Here’s a few possible ideas to get you started: jump off the top of the Stratosphere in Las Vegas, give flowers to a stranger, go indoor skydiving, ride in a hot air balloon, have a snowball fight, participate in a mud run, go zip-lining, take a cruise, kiss in the rain, write a fan letter to your favorite celebrity, or visit a place you’ve always wanted to go.
What do you plan to do today?
Have a fangtastic day my friends.<3 Brock V"""V
