Shamelessly ganked from baronalejandro
Apr. 22nd, 2009 03:15 pmThings to do in spring. His:
1. Read The Wind in the Willows.
2. Listen to Vivaldi.
3. Either ride a bicycle, a motorcycle, or go for a ride in a convertible. At the very least, ride around with your windows in your car down, and occasionally stick your head out the window. There's a good reason why dogs do it.
4. You should stop and smell the flowers, but you should go for extra credit points - sit down beside them for a while and chill out. Look at the world from the point of view of a tulip.
5. Go for a walk somewhere wild. And then repeat that somewhere cultivated.
6. Open your windows, and keep them open even a little, even at night. Because soon it might get really hot outside. You should keep in mind what it's like when it's cool, and appreciate that.
7. You should go on a date. Even if you've got a S/O - ideally this date should be with your S/O. If you don't have an S/O, hang out with a friend and just don't call it a date.
8. Go on a picnic. You can combine this with nos. 5 & 7 - knock three or four of these out at once!
9. You should do something that you normally do inside, and take it outside. I don't mean like wash your dishes on the spigot outside your house, but you should maybe embroider outside. Or knit. Or do yoga. Eat a PB&J. Sit with your laptop outside. Drink your coffee outside.
10. Tell me what's fun to do in Springtime!
Mine:
1. Read poetry.
2. Listen to "Ella Fitzgerald Sings The Cole Porter Songbook."
3. Fly a kite. Bonus points if you build it from scratch and it dies gloriously in your service.
4. Buy yourself flowers. (Particularly if management forgot Administrative Professionals Day!)
5. Attend a street fair or outdoor festival, live music mandatory.
6. Take a drive outside town and buy fruit at a farm stand. (May be too early in your part of the country but not in mine, Buckwheat!)
7. Go to the beach. Or a lake. Or a park. Or the woods. (I need to do Yosemite again someday. Must shove the SCA out of the way some weekend and go.)
8. Wear something pretty. (If it makes you feel pretty it qualifies.)
9. Break a sweat. If gyms and aerobics classes give you flashbacks to the horror that was PE, go dancing. Take a walk. Get on a bike.
10. Try something new.
