Go ice skating.
Look up a few recipes online for things that you’ve been wanting to try, then make them. Especially if you can make something to share with someone else, like one of your neighbors. I’ve been experimenting with soups lately. If it’s cold, soup will be perfect.
Here’s a couple of ideas to get you started.
Cream of Mushroom
Southwestern Black Bean
Corn Chowder
Pasta Fagioli
Pumpkin Soup
Bundle up, and go outside and take some amazing winter photographs
If you have Netflix, rent a whole season of some show that you’ve been interested in, but never watched (like some of those ones on HBO).
Go through your closet and bag up some of those old items that you never wear or don’t fit. Take them to the thrift store and then get some new (from the thrift store) items.
Go to Michaels (or another craft store in your town) and get a small already stretched canvas (about $5) and a set of brushes (about $5) and some acrylic paints (small pots). Then paint a landscape.
Invite a few friends over, bake some really big potatoes in the oven and have various toppings available (shredded cheese, chopped onion, scallions, bacon, sour cream, salsa). Rent a really funny comedy like Young Frankenstein. Or for the food part, make up a big batch of chili in the crockpot.
Write a real letter (by hand on paper) to an older relative. Add some recent photos of yourself. They will truly appreciate it.
Give yourself a nice at home manicure and pedicure. Then paint your nails. Or if you have a boyfriend, paint his nails ; – )
