I think I would:
Read more books
Knit
Garden in a less haphazard manner
Cook every day instead of large meals for leftovers every few days
Nap
Travel more frequently, with multiple visits to the ocean each year.
Watch more movies
Volunteer tutor more often
Do yoga most days and some kind of cardio three times a week
Vacuum more often
Take the dog to the dog park during the week
Have lunch date with my dad
Learn to paint/draw
