Not everyone spends Super Bowl Sunday in front of the TV

With 1:47 left on the clock in the fourth quarter, Prowl photo editor Abigail Cubbage actually turned on the Super Bowl game, thinking the referee was signaling “I’m this close to quitting” when, in fact, he was indicating how far the Patriots had to go to make a first down.

It is a Sunday and you usually sleep in. Plus Sunday is laundry day, aka I can walk around my house all day in pjs and no makeup. Partay for one. Oh wait, isn’t Super Bowl next weekend? Meh.

Actually wait no, puppy bowl and kitten halftime show is something to look forward to. Plus if I so desperately wanted to I could maaaaaybe engage in social events and invite friends over to watch movies and have fun themed food. Then watch puppy bowl, because it is cute and everyone can adopt a dog.

Moving on though, here are some fun things to do if you don’t care for the Super Bowl:

  1. Start marathoning a new show. If I’m not mistaken Netflix has put out some new shows. One of them being, “You” which looks especially creepy and binge worthy. Or you can binge watch the entire Lord of The Rings series. If you add up the run time of each movie, it is almost 24 hours. I’d take it as a challenge.
  2. Go on a hike, aka, exercise, get your heart rate up. Walk around in nature or in your home. Try some yoga or tabata dance workouts. Fun and challenging.
  3. Rearrange your house. I find it extremely relaxing to be in a clean house without clutter everywhere. It not only looks nice but it is one less thing of stress.
  4. Read a new book you’ve been dying to read since the end of last year. I have obtained a pile of books that I picked up throughout last year. Still need to read them.
  5. Go out for any food time; breakfast, lunch, supper? Go for it, you want five large fries for supper. Ice cream for breakfast (in the form of a delicious shake)? You do you boo.
  6. Go to a museum. We have one here in Powell, another in Cody. Then there is an art museum in Billings called the Yellowstone Art Museum. Go have a Ferris Bueller moment.
  7. Bake some yummy cookies. Don’t just eat the raw dough. Actually put the dough balls on a cookie sheet and put it in the oven. It makes your house smell amazing (if you don’t burn them)
  8. Play board games. There are some awesome vintage games that are still played consistently today. Or you can learn how to play crazy card games. Consider Clue, Anomia, Jenga, etc.
  9. Catch up on some Z’s. You have ALLLL DAAAAYYYYY to sleeeeeeeeeeeep. Do it. I dare you.
  10. Become the artist that you are. Is there a DIY project you’ve been dying to attempt? Go for it? Doodle like crazy build a tiny popsicle house for your hamster. Do whatever your little heart desires.

All these suggestions on how to spend your day, are just that. Suggestions. If you actually do care about the superbowl and the Patriots winning again. La-dee-FREAKING-da. They’ve had their turn and other teams should be able to have their moment of glory. Plus the halftime show was a little disappointing.
