Act like you are a young kid again. Get some chairs and a couple of sheets and play camping. You can even make sm ore's and eat junk food, or get a friend to enjoy the camp out with you and tell corny ghost stories and jokes. Do not think about anything that takes concentration, and do not answer the phone.
Make a big dinner. Invite your friends over and pretend you are a world renowned chef. Maybe you are, and you just don't know it yet. OR: Buy a cook book and make what seems to be the most fantastic dish in the book. OR: Go to a restraint by yourself. Chill out and enjoy the time that you are spending with yourself.
Other ideas-
Girls Night Out- Get together a group of your closest friends for a night of hedonism at the expense of ....... men.
Road Trip- Grab your best mix of CD's or tapes, a few 6-packs of soda, (or water if you are so inclined), throw the map in the backseat, fill up the tank, pick up your best friend and go out for a spin. I DO NOT suggest that you go out on a venture like this alone, and I DO NOT suggest that you eat at every and any little quick stop that arises along the way. This is a great thing to do when you just want a break. Take off in the direction of where ever you feel you want to go. Hey did you know that it is only a 5 hour drive from the NYC metro area to Virginia? That is a great weekend trip. If your broke, sleep in the car. Seriously.
Blockbuster bash- (this is what I did for valentine's day. Yeah, I know). Rent your favorite classics, new releases, or whatever. Buy some frozen goodies, (mozzarella sticks, hot wings, pizza bites, egg rolls, whatever). Take the ringer off of the phone, and take a nice hot bath, put on your favorite, most comfortable PJ's and spend the night with some folks that you never have to see again, unless you want to.
Go out on a date..... with yourself- Get dressed up, and treat yourself to a wonderful night out. You can do this no matter what your status is. Take the time to prepare for yourself the way you would if you were going out on a real date with someone else, do your hair, your nails. Put on new penthouse, wear your best "I look good, damn good" outfit. Treat yourself to a movie and maybe a trip to the mall, then out to dinner in a nice restaurant.
Do nothing- Ok. Many of your will thing that I am kidding. I am serious. Change into a sweat suit, light some candles, make tea, and sit down to read a book. Surf on the internet for hours and do not think about anything. Put your phone next to you, turn on the answering machine, and screen your calls. If they are not dying, they can wait. Take a day off for yourself. DO NOTHING. NOTHING AT ALL.
Cook up something special- This is for the advanced cook. If your specialty is hot dogs, hamburgers, or canned soup, "you need not apply". Thing about something you want. Watch a cooking show or two and make up a recipe. As you go along. From something that is already at your house. This is one of my favorite things to do. I made caramel apples the other day, and although they did not look like the conventional kind, I enjoyed them, and that is all that mattered.
