1) In NYC many of the museums are free after 4:00 pm. Sure the crowds can be nutty but if you are a lover of Matisse or you just want to go and see the Ancient Egyptian Artifacts the price of admission is worth it. There's a great exhibit our here in Queens at The Museum Of The Moving Image that is showcasing the history of Jim Henson's artistic career. It's not a huge exhibit (so I'm not sure it's worth the full price of admission) but for free? Bingo.
2) Host a Game Night or a Movie Night. Dust off those old games and your DVD's on the shelf or update your Netflix Instant Queue, clean our the pantry shelves and go to town. This could be a fun ritual to establish one a month with your crew. No need to go crazy with the cooking or ordering out. You could even come up with themes to make it fun. The point is to kick back and relax so just make sure you aren't putting unneeded pressure on yourself. Game nights are always fun and I have yet to experience one that was a bust.
3) No plans and your phone not ringing? So pick it up and call everyone in your address book. It will be a good time to catch up with friends and family. Most of us have unlimited minutes with our phone plan so put those babies to work!
4) Dust off those abandoned craft projects. You know you have at least one.
5) If the weather is beautiful go to a park and snap some photos. Zoom in on those beautiful fall leaves. Look for interesting details in a tree or an animal doing something goofy. This photo is one that my Mother took of marigolds in her front garden. I just love the colors! May it inspire you.
6) Hey. If you are feeling absolutely negative motivation at least get off the couch, take a shower, put on some red lipstick and clean out a drawer. Then you can go sit like a lump under a blanket. At least it's free.
Buon Weekend!
