What to do if you are not going to the national conference

OK, so I'm not going, which sucks, because I love New York, and hanging with other writers and drinking, but I've tried to come up with things that will make me feel better being left behind.

1) Drink - not my usual, but a nice mohito maybe, or a fruity cocktail. I'll pretend I'm in a bar in NY while I drink it.

2) I'm going to read a lot. I'm reading the Karen MArie Moning Fae series and loving it. I'm onto book 2 and expect to get to book three before the other drunk writers return from the conference.

3) Work, on my writing - If I make it a really productive writing week, I know I'll feel better about not going.

4) Watch Tru Blood - because that show always cheers me up.

5) Buy a new pair of shoes - a guaranteed pick me up, always. A pair of wedge strappy sandals perhaps.

6) Not run - because if I'm not running through central park with Molly and Eileen, then screw getting exercise.

But truthfully, I'm mostly planning to work this week, try and finish up the edits on the current WIP. Because if I can't be at the conference, then what will make me feel better is being productive.

There you have it. Anyone else have any suggestions for what to do if you're not going to nationals?
