But when you're single after a long relationship ends weekends can be looked upon with dread - starting from Friday Evening and working clear through Sunday after sunset.
My girlfriends who have been single for a long while say I'm a sissy. Like them I need to get my "Nija on" and learn to enjoy the weekends like a warrior - keeping extremely busy so I have no time to think. They say weekends are a time to get together with friends, family, do fun things, etc., but again, it's hard when those "get togethers" always included a partner.
So I've decided to come up with plan (at least for the next few months) to keep myself very busy on those days to turn them from the "dreaded three" into the "blissful triad."
Here's a list of a few activities that could keep me busy
(Warning what follows can go from serious to completely absurd in 0 point 5 seconds)
Become a docent at the neighborhood museum on weekends. (Okay so I'm not 70, but I love art and could meet a creative guy, right. Although this works for during the day mostly)
Help out at the public library (again works for during the day...)
Finish my great American Novel
People watch at the nearest mall
Movie marathon weekend
Movie marathon weekend with girlfriends
Movie marathon weekend at the theater (could take care of Friday night and Saturday night, but can be expensive)
Get a job working Friday and Saturday nights (What? I must be losing it!)
Enroll in a weekend class - maybe learn to cook Greek food or make Sushi?
I could take up Fencing or the Tango? There has to be a Saturday Class somewhere...
Or an online decorating course?
Work out so hard Friday Night that it takes most of Saturday to recover (that would leave only Sunday if I haven't pulled something)
Sleep all weekend like my cat.
Hurray for me! The new weekend Warrior!
(Uh, I think I need a little help...suggestions from all of you would be greatly appreciated!)

Get Rosetta Stone and learn a new language (Spanish, German, French, Italian...) As you are learning this new language, research, plan (or just visualize!) a fabulous trip to that country where you can practice!
If kitty allows this... get a puppy! Puppies like to be played with, they like to go to the park and meet new people and they like LOTS of attention! Did you ever see the move, "Must Love Dogs" ?
Try these and let me know how they work!
