Thirteen Ideal Ways To Spend Free Time Without Spending Money If I Had Any Free Time

Thirteen Things about Pauline 1…. Read - uniterrupted - all day 2. Take a nice leisurely walk in the woods with a camera and a backpack with snacks 3. Paint - leave the paints out all day and paint in all my mediums: oil, acrylic, water colors, pastels, and try out my new Chinese Inks 4. Go window shopping - most of day in Barnes & Noble 5. Go to a nearby beach and walk along the shore picking up seashells, turning over rocks to see the critters living there (being careful not to disturb them, stopping now and then to lay in the sun and read, bring camera for beautiful sunset 6. Spend the day looking at photos - memorabilia I have boxes of photos taken over the years and tons on my computer and on disks I like to sort them, then sort them over again in different categories 7. Watch movies - I have tons I haven't watched yet and some I'd like to watch again. No interruptions, just a pause here and there to make popcorn 8. Go out and pick wild berries - We just finished the strawberry season, raspberries are almost done, blueberries are starting, and then the blackberries. Bring bug spray and lots of containers. 9. Play cards with friends - all day. My favorite is Hand and Foot. Board games are fun to - I do love Pictionary 10. Spend a day pampering myself - A nice long bubblebath - with a glass of wine, candles and a good book - give myself a pedicure and a manicure. How about a facial while I'm at it. Make some good herbal tea - do some stretching - maybe dance to a few Richard Simmons tapes. Take a nap. Spend the day talking to our Lord. 11. Crafts - Like quilting, scrapbooking, needlepoint, pressing flowers, I used to like to do macrame` 12. Go for a drive and explore local roads I've never been on - again take the camera to take pictures of old barns, animals, the river views around here. 13. Blog - blog, blog - read everyones blog - What I wouldn't give to have a whole day to surf the net instead of grabbing a few minutes here and there.
