Winter Blues

Recently, I've been having a full-blown case of the winter blues. I'm in desperate need of some Fun. Naturally, I thought I'd blog about it. I did a bit of thinking/researching and came up with a few things I think may help me out of my rut:

1. Plan. I will admit I am an obsessive planner; it gives me a thrill. Anticipation makes everything more exciting.

(My planner! I love this one from The Container Store. It houses one of my multiple to-do lists.)
My roommates and I are currently brainstorming ideas for fun things to do...some ideas so far: a weekend trip to Madison, skiing or rock-climbing.

2. Treat myself. My mom influenced this one. Tonight I watched my TV shows and had Leeann Chin for dinner. I also saw that massages are only $49 for first time customers at Massage Envy...I may have to look into that.

3. Exercise. I am essentially never in the mood to exercise and this aversion is only amplified in the winter months. However, it feels so much more satisfying afterwards if I didn't want to exercise in the first place.

4. Try new outfits. This is especially fitting since I have given up my shopping addiction for Lent. It should be Fun to try and find new combinations!
