Meghan's List of Things to do in her Spare Time

• Exercise. I see you've new shoes and new gym membership and new class plus someone to exercise with. Good move(s).
• Read the B-i-b-l-e. Surely you could do the Recovery Version in a year with Footnotes plan. This may be your year, my friend, to accomplish this. Awesome.
• Read. The ministry. Isaiah Life Studies. Other things the training didn't cover. So much to read. So much time to do it. You could make a schedule. Didn't the team in Irving have one once that we have?
• Read. All those classics you didn't get to yet. The obscure Jane Austen. The Bronte sisters. The Russians. Crime and Punishment. War and Peace. The Brothers Karamazov. Read some syllabuses from University Lit classes for more ideas. (Sounds like my reading list.) Moby Dick. James Fenimore Cooper. New light fluffy stuff.
• Take an art class at a community rec center. It's cheap. Painting. Watercolor. Drawing.
• Take up hand work. Knitting. Crochet. Needlepoint. Hook a rug. It's fun. You'd be amazed. Embroidery a shirt (anthropologie style.)
• Sew. Get a machine. The new patterns I bought you. Be creative. Refashion some thrift or your old stuff, like on that blog. Make new stuff. Use grandma's vintage patterns for some vintage flair.
• Do your nails. Finger. Toe. Get that nasty red chipped polish off of your self. Do it regularly. Make hands and feet soft.
• Facials. Masques.
• Take the children on a walk every day while mommy makes dinner. Or some other time.
• Sing and record it.
• Write letters. Grandparents love it. Those folks that AREN'T on fb. Relatives.
• Make birthday gifts ahead of time with your sewing, knitting, painting skills for your loved ones for whom you may feel that you cannot afford to shop.
• Learn to garden. Pull weeds. Prune shrubs. Trim trees. Create flower beds. Plant seeds. Water them and weed them. You will like it.
• Take a Spanish class at a community college or rec center. Keep your language skills up. Start French.
• Iron your clothes.
• Wash "your" car. Inside and out. By hand. Yourself. Not at a car wash.
• Wash Rosanna's car.
• Tutor. Part-time job. High school or junior high or elementary school kids. Get paid.
• Study for the GRE. Make a schedule. Keep to it.
• Do housework. Regularly. Change sheets once a week, clean bathroom once a week, etcetera.
• Volunteer at the animal shelter. Do not adopt a pet.
• Learn to cook. Learn to bake. Take over one night a week and try new things.
• Audit a course at Tech. Something you need to brush up on (like Spanish) or that you need to get ready for graduate work.
  

Just a start. I'll keep working on it, though. This should keep you busy this week.
