If you had one day to yourself ...what would you do? Tomorrow, Hubby is taking the day off from work and is encouraging me to get out of the Apartment without him or the lil one. I have really no friends..and I dont want to go alone...maybe its just I dont do this often...or my meds have made me just a dud. I mean months ago i would have jumped at the chance.

I am planning on getting my hair trimmed...but what else to do. I may hit the goodwills...see what trinkets I can buy. Other than that....i dont know...lol.

Suggestions?!

Hmm..depends on what flicks your switch really!

*Go window shopping then for lunch?
*Go to the movies with your OH or a friend etc
*Go to a book store and have a look for a new book or a book on something that interests you?

I don't know, It really depends on my mood; some days I may want to buy myself new clothes/shoes/make up/perfume etc and others I can happily walk in to a waterstones and be there for 2-3 hours although I am a total in-the-closet geek so that may very well be
why lol

Although again..depends on mood..my idea of heaven is literally in my softest sweats on the sofa wrapped in a blanket reading a really good book with a mug the size of my head filled with low fat hot chocolate..

So I dunno..lol

how about a gallery or museum? stretch your mind a little; or a library and check out some books/dvds.

I don't want to be alone. I'm alone way too much anymore. I force myself to do things during those times and have a hard time not crawling in bed to sleep it off. I so need to organize my art supplies and start painting again.

I am too reclusive. One of my many goals is to leave the house daily. Find some reason. Working out seems like a good idea.

take a day trip to an antique barn and find some lost treasure or a flea market (indoor Im in MI) and eat a prime rib dinner out so I would not have to do dishes.

I love to go to the libarary. I go at least every two weeks. Also, like the flea market idea. Some Mexican food. Go to all the craft stores to check out clearance isle. Go see my sisters and/or the kids.

Hope you have fun!!

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
