No, we don’t mean 140 characters of anything --we mean one park bench and one little brown sparrow. Go to a park and see if spring is sprung in your ‘hood.

GIVE 'EM THE FINGER
Remember fingerpainting? It was fun, messy and cheap. Get some paper and some paints and let your inner Picasso come out. If you’ve got little ones, all the better. They'll become modern day modern artists as well.

GOLD DIGGERS
Monday, March 30, 2009
Scrounge around that old jewelry box and come up with some cash. Now’s a good time to sell jewelry, and make some extra money. Most jewelry stores are taking trade in, so try to gather as much as possible at one time, as it goes by weight. Honestly, my friend came up with $1100 last week when she piled up the scale with her old 18K and 14K.

SOMEONE WILL READ THEM
Friday, March 27, 2009
We know reading a real book is poised to go the way of the dinosaur, what with twittering, texting, facebooking, IMing, and Kindle, etc. So, do a good deed and clean out and clear out all the old books you no longer read, use or refer to (hello Google!). You’ll be donating to charity, making someone else happy, and leaving some room in your home for some fresh, new energy to flow into.

BUY A BAGFUL OF PENNY CANDY
Thursday, March 26, 2009
Yes, we know penny candy is a victim of inflation. But pop for a half a pound and mix and match all the favorites you had when you were a kid…sweets, sours, gummis, licorice, chocolates – go for your personal spin around the sugar shack. Then, share some with the next kid you see, and watch their eyes light up.
TEST DRIVE AN EXPENSIVE CAR
Wednesday, March 25, 2009
Get behind the wheel of that BMW or Jag. Stop by a dealership, and put your hands on the steering wheel, turn the key and take the car of your dreams for a test drive. It's free. It's fun. It's a way to turn the fantasy into reality.

LEARN A MAGIC TRICK
Tuesday, March 24, 2009
Dazzle the decades younger crowd....kids love magic. They'll laugh their heads off if you perfect a card trick, dangle a spoon on your nose, or pull a quarter out of your ear! You'll feel like a genius.

TIP REALLY BIG FOR ONE DAY
Saturday, March 21, 2009
Today, just for fun, tip really big. Maybe it's the jar in the place where you get your latte, or the coffee shop where you had your sandwich, but for once just FEEL like you're a big spender. Add a little more to the standard tip, and make believe you're totally flush, really rich, rolling in the bucks, or Mr/Ms.Moneybags!

HAVE A TV FREE DAY
Friday, March 20, 2009
Don't touch that dial! Just for today, turn off the television and lose the news...it's all bad these days anyway. A few TV free days will make you feel much better. Call some friends, send some fun email, text to say hi, but catch up with old pals, and we guarantee that you'll feel more positive, less depressed.

BLOWIN' IN THE WIND
Wednesday, March 18, 2009
A cheap kite can STILL give you a childhood thrill. Stop by a hobby store, then off to a neighborhood park, and yes, it’s still fun to see it go up and stay up -- (unlike the recent stock market’s ascent and dive).

DON'T GO COMMANDO
Hey, we’ve got a lot on our mind, too, these days. So we think that Days of the Week panties are an idea whose time has come…again. One less thing to worry about.
Be happy!

STRIDE WITH PRIDE
Tuesday, March 17, 2009
You know how fun everything in a dog's life is? The ball, the stick, the walks, the food, the hydrants...take a dog (or several) for a walk, and see how just one look in their loving eyes can make you feel like you are their hero.
Be happy!
