What are you waiting for!?

When I was single, I had a love/hate relationship with long weekends. I loved having the extra time off work; I hated that I didn’t have a man to spend the time with.
I thought I would help you out by giving you a bunch of ideas of things to do this weekend. I have all kinds of thoughts about how to make this, or any other weekend, enjoyable — with or without a man:
- Volunteer in your community helping children, saving the planet, rescuing animals, beautifying your city… tons of people need you.
- Have a chick-date with a new friend.
- Go on a cheap weekend getaway.
- Go to a department store makeup section and get a free makeover.
- Buy a whole new outfit!
- Get tickets for a play or other live event. Grab a discount if you can by going to www.Goldstar.com.
- Go to a singles event or just one to meet a new girlfriend. (Google "[your city] singles" or go to Meetup.com.)
- Go to a wine-tasting event — they have those all over now.
- Go to the art, science, history… whatever museum.
- Go to a seminar or lecture, maybe to learn more about yourself or men.
- Go to the local library and make goo-goo eyes at all the smart men.
- Call or email the guy who got away.
- Organize and conduct a car wash to raise money for the local schools. (They need it!)
- Plant a garden.
- Get that massage you’ve been talking about. (These days there are ways to get all kinds; many reasonably priced.)
- Have a picnic and read a book at the park. (Preferably one that will give you some new dating skills.)
- Learn to paddleboard, bowl, or do some other sport you’ve been talking about.
- Organize a Parcheesi or poker party and have everyone bring one guest — male or female; either is fun.
- Take a bike ride.
- Get online and don’t get off until you connected with 10 men in some way (wink, email… whatever).
- Go to the local big book store, find a book and read it there. (And make goo-goo eyes at all the smart men.)
- Ask a man to help you carry something, give his advice, fix your car… just see what it’s like to receive. (Yeah, really…just do it.)
- Take a class (Salsa, Spanish, wine tasting, floral arranging, tennis…)
- Go to the beach, mountains or some other scenic area to paint, draw or just observe the beauty alone or with a friend.
- Try a new restaurant, but make it out of your area, and then go have a drink.
- Do a good deed. Walk someone’s dog, watch someone’s child while they do something fun, or shop for your elderly neighbor.
- Call a friend who’s been down in the dumps and ask her what movie she has been wanting to see. Then take her and buy her popcorn.
- Walk around your neighborhood and talk to those folks you’ve been seeing every day, but not getting to know.
- Start a gratitude journal by listing all the people and things you are grateful for.
- Give your dog a bath then march her proudly around the dog park. (Great place to meet men!)
