Your Mission 07.29.11

Your weekend mission,

should you choose to accept

1) Take a midnight stroll.

2) Play Mad Libs with a friend.

3) Try something Weird. One obvious way to move out of your comfort zone is to do something new. When you choose something new you may choose something that is line with your personality. So your experiences can become limited. Instead, choose something that's out of character for you. Start by reading about a random topic at Wikipedia. Visit a museum and sit and sketch. Take a friend to the driving range and hit some golf balls. Add an unexpected RSS-feed about something you normally never read about. Or learn to make eco-friendly cleaning products. The weekend is your oyster - so go out and enjoy something new.

Overalls and Summer Memories

There is something about growing up in Kansas that leaves me with a special nostalgia for denim overalls. Maybe it was those carefree humid summer nights of driving with nothing better to do, field parties, sonic slushes, jumping off bridges into watering holes, typical midwest teenage shenanigans.

Throw an Amazing Party in a Tiny Apartment.

HAVE A BIG, FUN PARTY IN A TINY APARTMENT

Set up everything to scale: to create a feeling of space, minimize party supplies. Rather than having one big traffic-block bar, put out several ice buckets filled with bottles of beer and splits of champagne no glasses required. For food, no space-hogging ham or turkey. Serve niblets, like mini-sandwiches. - Mini-sandwiches -close-contact friendly - no garlic.

Keep the party flowing:

To stave off log jams in front of the bathroom, put mirror in the hallway, so ladies who just want to touch up their make-up won't hog the powder room.

Let the furniture multitask:

You don't need the TV - stow it in the closet and use the trolley as a rolling bar cart.

Free up the bedroom:

That's valuable real estate replace your bed pillows with decorative cushions or throws from the couch.

Don't limit the guest list! Invite everyone you want to. If it gets super-crowded, the party will thin out naturally.

It's social darwinism!

Your Mission 07.22.11

Your weekend mission,

should you choose to accept

1) Book tickets to a upcoming concert.

2) Take a warm sea salt bath for 20 minutes.

3) Act like a nine-year-old. To keep stress at bay, it's important for adults to always have a little kid in them. Here are a few ideas for how to retain that child-like wonder: Spin around in circles until you get dizzy and then lie down and watch the ceiling spin. Skip. It's surprising how free and happy a person can feel by skipping down the street. Watch your favorite childhood movie. Eat an ice cream cone. Play tag or hide-and-seek. Catch lighting bugs. Swing at a playground. Just remember, sometimes our silly side needs to come out and play. Follow this list and your inner child will always be satisfied.

Your Mission 07.08.11

Your weekend mission,

should you choose to accept

1) Say "Good Morning" to 2 strangers.

2) Stand outside for 3 minutes and take 15 deep-long-breathes.

3) Stop giving advice. If you always tell your friend how to fix his/her problems, the relationship will be unbalanced. You become the one Who knows All, and she becomes the One Who Is Troubled. Eventually you're both going to tire of those roles. Instead, let her bounce ideas off of you. Ask, "What are you planning to do about this tricky situation?" Or just give a supportive comment: "That sounds difficult. How do you feel about it?" Offer your opinion only if she asks for it. Otherwise you're not having a dialogue; your giving a lecture. - Frank M. Lachmann
