How about, walk out your front door? Seriously, go take a long walk. It's never too cold to take a walk.

I'd love to try. I just can't figure out how to manage the yarn with dog hair.

Bake cookies
Put on old motown records and dance.
Go through old photos, and post a photo tour on city-data.
Do your taxes.
Clean out a closet and donate things you don't use anymore to Goodwill. Note: If you do this, be sure to take a photo of the items because the IRS is cracking down on this.
I'm totally down with the idea of Motown records and dancing! That taxes suggestion is downright cruel though.

Since I love to garden, that's a great idea!

I just got back from spending 3 weeks in Vermont. How much more winter do you want me to experience?

That's fun! I should get back to planning our west coast road trip we're taking in the spring after our Alaskan cruise. Thanks for reminding me.

I might just do this. I need a chance of scenery. I've never done it before. I might like it.

My girlfriend in Florida is always begging me to visit. I probably should take her up on that.

If we get enough snow, I'll go sled riding at Hartwood Acres. Love to ski. I'll need to see if I can get hubby on board for skiing.

I need to plan my garden. I guess I should get organized. I'm in a rut.

I've never been there when it's dark. Is it cold when the sun goes down?

Been there, done that. It's not inspiring me.

I know I'd have serious fun doing that! If you ever have "bring a bored housewife to work day," give me a call.

Heading on a girls only cruise on two weeks to the Bahamas to celebrate one of my friends 50th. After the cold of this week, the Bahamas sound great.

I think taking a cooking or baking class could be fun, I know it might seem like torture to others!
