So, like most Americans, I tend to crave entertainment when I have a bit of free time. Now that I am pregnant, rock climbing and wine tasting are out, so I’ve been trying to figure out a way to keep myself adventurously busy, without spending much money.
While pondering this– like a vision (or actually just using my vision)–I looked out the window, and saw a kayak languishing out back behind the house where it had been unused for 2 years. I also looked in a closet (that needed to be cleaned to make way for baby stuff), and noticed a soccer ball, tennis racket, roller blades, bike locks and other assorted sports equipment. What if I decided to treat this stuff like it actually has value, and get excited about using it?
This was a long shot, but after hosing down the kayak, and force-ably jetskiing out some of the biggest bugs I’ve ever seen, I went for a nice little paddle. Okay I also went without a life preserver, but seriously, the river was only 3 feet deep. So an adventure was to be had for nothing but a tiny bit of effort… and I even got to run from Mr. Law while I was at it for an added sense of excitement.
Take that, expensive movie house!
What equipment do you have hanging around?
