How to Have Fun at Home on a Saturday Night

For some of us, when the weekend rolls around we feel we need to have plans to go out. It is easy to get caught in the trap of believing the whole world is out having fun and you are the only one home on a Saturday night. The next time you find yourself without Saturday night plans, rather than feeling bad, decide to have fun at home.

Instructions

• 1

  Call some friends and invite them over for an old-fashioned night of board games. Or ask them if they want to come over, rent some movies and order a pizza. You might want to even make it a slumber party if no one has to work in the morning.

• 2

  Visit a chat room on the Internet for companionship on a Saturday night if none of your friends are home when you call. Now that most homes have computers and Internet access, no one really needs to be alone if they don't want to. Hanging out at a social website can be just as much fun as visiting a local club but without the chore of dressing up.

• 3

  Appreciate your own company. You don't have to be with others to have a good time on a Saturday night. Rent movies and order that pizza for yourself if your friends can't join you. Being alone just means you can pick the movies and you don't have to share your pizza.

• 4

  Pamper yourself. Talk a long, hot bath and put on some of your favorite body lotion and perfume. Give yourself a home facial or a manicure. Do all of those little things that make you feel good about yourself that you can't find time to do during the week.

• 5

  Catch up on some reading. Curl up with a good book, your favorite magazine, or the newspapers that built up during the week because you didn't have time to read them.

• 6

  Get creative in the kitchen. Cook your favorite meal or have your kids help bake an indulgent dessert when you find yourself home on a Saturday night.
