I’ve done a number of these. Great post. I would add “Try a new recipe”
These are great ideas. My favorite one is start a blog.
I love lists and this one is no exception. I like the one about calling someone that I have not talked to in a while. I need to do this more.
Lori, great addition. I’ll add it to the list.
Thanks for the kind words, ladies!
Great list! Now that we have a dog, going to the pet store is a fun activity any night of the week.
Thanks, Paula.
Even if you don’t have a pet, it’s fun if you like animals. Most pet stores have birds, fish, reptiles — sometimes some exotic things. Occasionally they also have kittens and puppies which are always fun to see.
Very interesting post, many great ideas… Definitely will try one or two on that list..
Love the list absolutely. Thanks for sharing and i would love to implement some.
