25 Things to Do Besides Watch TV

1. Be a Model For a Day Really, have fun with this. Get with your friends or loved ones and EVERYWHERE you go. Pose and take pictures, be sexy, be silly. You can dress up for this as fancy, funky or fun as you like. Even if you have to run to the store, snap those pictures. People may think you are from a magazine or a model when they see you posing as you get out of your car, shopping, and paying. Go to parks or around town. Just make sure you keep a straight face if you have people stopping and staring at you wondering "Who is this person?" Change outfits, really go all out. Make sure the person with the camera tells you if you need to pose differently. Tilt your head to the left, raise your chin, move over there, lift your arm slightly higher to the right.
2. Pitch Out Clothes From Your Closet You know we all have them. The clothes that we haven't worn in two years. Toss it all out on the bed and decide whether you want to keep it or not. The extra closet and drawer space will make it worth it, I promise. The general rule of thumb that I hear is, if you haven't worn it in a year than toss it. I think this is a little harsh, my rule of thumb is two years. So many people say they are saving clothes because they plan on loosing weight and getting back into those clothes one day. Don't you think if you work hard and loose weight you should be allowed to buy new clothes. Besides, are those clothes even going to be in style when you loose that weight?
3. Make a Crazy CD There is some really strange and off the wall music out there. Why not explore and see what's out there. You can make a crazy Cd and slip it in the the player next time you are hanging out with friends and family. Watch and see what their faces look like when they hear this music. You never know you may find an artist that you love and you would never know if you just didn't take a look around. One of my favorite music sites is Kohit.net. They have tons of free down loadable music. If you know any other great sites, let me know.
4. Go For a Walk or Drive Don't underestimate, a good ol' fashioned walk or country drive. My bet is that you will notice something about your street or neighborhood that you never noticed before. You may discover a favorite little shop that you never looked twice at before.
5. Favorite Product Finds Do you have a particular brand of cereal, coffee, pizza, green beans, chocolate milk, etc.? Look them up on line. One of my favorite cereal brands where giving away free samples of a new cereal they were coming out with along with printable coupons. Just look them up, it an almost guarantee that they will at least have printable coupons.
6. Rearrange Your Living Space It's always good to have some change in your life. Moving your living room or bedroom around could make a world of difference in the way you feel about it. You could try Fun Shai and see if does anything for your life.
7. Read a Book I have a philosophy that if you don't like to read than you haven't read the right book. Books are like the Internet, there is something on every topic available. So any interest that you may have, there is a book for it. You can't lounge on the couch or lay in the tub with a laptop and you don't have to wait for a book to download the page so you can read it.
8. Enter a Sweepstakes There are TONS of online sweepstakes that you can register for. Some are for cash, some for products. Just look around and see what interest you. Two that I have used are onlinesweepstakes.com, sweepstakes advantage . So if you are feeling lucky, give them a try. Good Luck!
9. Lost Treasures No I'm not talking about combing the beaches and going scuba diving. I'm talking about all the food in your cabinets that have become buried beneath a pile of cans and boxes and forgotten. You know that new food you wanted to try. It's back there somewhere.
10. Discover Your State Get a travel guide and discover all the places available to visit right in your own state. You could look it up on line as well. Check out Local.com and you can look up places to eat and look up places to go by your interests.
11. Get to Weeding Most households have a flower bed or garden. I'm sure it could use some weeding. If you've let the weeds grow up considerably, wait till after a good rain and the roots will loosen up their hold on the soil. This will make your job a whole lot easier. This is one of those instant gratifications. Like painting, you can take something that looks awful and in one day, turn it into something that looks awesome.
12. Actually Print Those Pictures We all have them. Pictures waiting to be printed on our memory cards. Some of us have over 100 pictures, these are not something that you want to risk getting erased. I've had over 80 pictures disappear on me and they were of my sons first birthday and Easter. Needless to say, I wish I hadn't procrastinated. Don't want to pay for all those pictures? Download them onto a disc for safe keeping.
13. Jam Out I mean really crank that music. Sometimes we forget how enjoyable it is just to blast the music and sing along. Better yet, bust out that guitar that's been collecting dust in the corner. Crank up that amp if you have one and get to jammin'.
14. Go Through Memory Lane Most of us have that box of old letters, concert tickets, restaurant menus, movie stubs. Take that box and reminisce. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll get mad when you read the lies that boy told you in high school love letters.
15. Play a Game I'm not talking about a video game, remember no TV. Those board games stuffed under your bed or tucked away in the closet. Blow the dust off and spend the evening getting reacquainted with them.
16. Dye Your Hair Get some temporary hair dye, the kind that washes out in washing or two, and see what it's like to have another hair color. Go wild and go blue, red, pink, orange, purple. It'll be fun till you wash it out.
17. Learn to Write Your Name in Another Language It could be your next tattoo. Chinese is not the only beautiful writing. Thia is gorgeous, or how about elvish if your a Tolkien fan. Does your significant other want you to get a tattoo, maybe writing it in another language could be an option. There are a lot of websites that translate, here are two alphadictionary.com and for a site that teaches you to write in elvish. Elvish writing is sooo pretty.
18. Romance Your Partner That's always more fun than TV. A break out of the ordinary could really spice things up. It may even help fix an argument that has come between you. Nothing but good could come from a little romance!
19. Funk Up Your Clothes I'm sure there are a pair of jeans that you are bored with sitting untouched in your wardrobe. This is a perfect opportunity to spice em' up a bit. Put some trendy patches on the back pockets. Try out some embroidery skills and put some nice stitching around the pants legs. You could get some old clothes and cut out patches placing them randomly. The same goes with that old hooded sweatshirt or jacket. Do have a favorite band tee shirt that has been worn to nothing? Use that and give your favorite band new life by sewing it on to the front or back of your hoodie. Wha-La! New shirt. Put some lace on a plain dress, giving it new life. The options are endless.
20. The Library I don't know if you have been in a while or not, but libraries offer more than books. You can check out movies or music and it's all for free. Why pay to watch a movie when all you have to do is check one out from the library. Browse the magazines, there are tons of magazines available.
21. Get Ready for Halloween Now is the time to start figuring out the best thing to wear for Halloween. Make an awesome costume now. You'll have plenty of time to be the best and scariest person at the party. There is nothing worse than looking and looking for the perfect costume you just can't find.
22. Teach Your Pet a Cool Trick We've all seen that person who shoots their dog and it falls to the ground, or flips over backwards, opens the fridge and gets them something to drink. Take a little time and you can be that person. I know your furry friend will love the attention as well.
23. Geocaching I don't know if you have heard of this before. Geocaching is an online treasure hunt. You can find anything from money to kid's meal toys. There are capsules hidden around your area I can almost guarantee it. You'll even get to go on private property in some cases, so you will get to go places you wouldn't be able to otherwise go. You put in your area code and there is a list of geocaches around you. They give you the gps location and using your phone you try to hunt these down. I have friends that do this quite a bit, they get bored and they go for a hunt. It is a good way to get out of the house and do something different. They make a competition out of it and see who can find it first.
24. Cook Up Something Different You know that lost food you found in your cabinets. If your wondering what you can make with it or just have food that you don't know what to do with it, there is a great site Super Cook. You can insert what food you have and it will give you a list of dishes you can make with those ingredients. It can be something as little as green peppers and it will have many option of what you can do with those peppers. It's a great site when you are staring in your fridge wondering "What am I going to cook tonight. It can also help you save money, by giving you ideas on how to cook up that left over chicken before it goes bad.
25. Test Your Psychic Abilities This can be a fun way to spend the evening. There are many ways to test your psychic abilities. If you have a deck of cards, then take turns going through the deck guessing whether the card will be black or red. You can even try to guess the number or suit. It's all up to you. Keep score if you want. Have your friend visualize a picture and guess what it is. Ladies, don't get mad if your man can't read your mind. There are lots of ways to test your abilities, that could be your next Google search. Have fun.
