suggestions for sober fun

good morning all.  today is my first day off work in 7 days and i am so antsy this morning.  normally i would be buying a few beer, and waiting for my coke deal to go down soon.  today i just feel like partying. i have a pocket full of money, but things are no longer the same, i can't party like that no more, its kinda depressing.

does anyone here have any suggestions on how to have some sober fun, cause im not used to that. i mean what is there to do when your surrounded by 10ft of snow, lol.  i wanted to post this cause i have detected something weird going on in my brain this morning, its although my mind is telling me im no longer an addict cause im 75 days clean, but i know that is ********. i just really have this urge to have fun today.  i would appreciate any suggestions for fun without drugs, i think i have to take caution today for some reason.

i am not sure if anyone suggesded this one yet...but why dont ya go outside down to your skibbies..and make a snow angel...then i bet your nieghbors would probally plan the rest of your day for ya by calling your local police!...and you wouldnt have to worry about having to think of any sober fun things to do...the only draw back to this is explaining to the police that you really are sober...you could always show them this post while your making bail....mmmm.... now that i read my post ..maybe this isnt such a good idea!!! oh well  i... will try to think of something elese for you...
what ever you do I hope you have a great day!!!
sober life is sooo fun isnt it..you know the strange thing is ...is that i may have done the above when i wasnt sober and just dont remember...hhmmmm...see if ya do it now..youll remember..we all will...go for it send us pics!!!

Hope it is all good for you. You are in my thoughts.

Do you ski? Cuz if you do that's fun, and if you don't it's even more fun trying!
How about cranking up some music and pretending to be a rock star.. Or better yet, you have money, go and get guitar star and hook that up.  I am a rock star and and a champion ski-er ( in my own mind).  My hubby and kids will tell you diff.  Thus the nickname

Either that or u can come baby sit for me :)

wow I luv u guys but those r some vail attempts at fun(j/k)  try platstaytion 3, buy games like call of duty or resistance fall of man.  Their shooter games, I used make fun of one of my clean friends cuz that all he did. U can play online join clans n kick some butt. Lots of fun buy a mic so u can talk to people on ur team. Its free to play online. Highly addictive. But u can't shove a playststion 3 down ur throat. Seriously get one resistance is the easy of the to to play. Iam 34 and so is just about everyone else that plays.

think. What have you always wanted to do but didn't? Flying lessons. Fly fishing. Wood working. Whatever. It is a good time to start something new. Now I love IBKleen to death, but ...Snow shoveling isn't on my list! :) :)
You get the idea.
