Miri Says

 

• Walk around your house doing daily tasks in your highest heels.
  

  
   

• Go to the foreign section of your local DVD rental store and learn a new language from some of the movies there.
  

  
   

• Make a music playlist. Here are some I prepared earlier: Happy Happy Joy Joy! songs (songs that make you gleefully happy), songs about New York, songs with a girl's name in the lyrics or title...
  

  
   

• Take ridiculous photographs of yourself. Put them on Facebook. Giggle at the confused comments. (Note: By "ridiculous" I mean something like "dressed up as a llama sitting on a grand piano with ice skates", not "completely naked". The latter will probably get you banned from Facebook. You have been warned.)
  

  
   

• Dress up as Holly Golightly from Breakfast at Tiffany's and visit your nearest Tiffany's & Co. store. If you don't have one near you, just go to any classy jewellery store.
  

  
   

• Or you could dress up as Marilyn Monroe from Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, either one is fine!
  

  
   

• Send postcards to your friends. Pretend you are somewhere else, like a Greek island. Describe the scenery there, what you have been doing, etc.
  

  
   

• Read the dictionary. Twice.
  

  
   

• Dress like a secretary. Buy fake glasses and wear a black skirt and white t-shirt. Style your hair in an up-do and wander around the city.
  

  
   

• Make a pillow fort, with sheets and chairs. Proceed to have a tea party with your dolls in the pillow fort (if you don't have your childhood dolls, steal some from an unsuspecting infant). If a five year old can do it, so can you.
  

  
   

• Create peculiar and quirky characters. Pretend to be them for the day. If you lack an imagination, find a book or film character who is a bit odd and pretend to be them instead.
  

  
   

• Walk your dog. If you don't have a dog, walk an invisible dog.
  

  
   

Smile at nothing in particular.
