At least there I can savour my boredom and a drink gazing at the soft blankets of snow that adorn the the gentler parts of the view lit up by the leftover Christmas lights and towering structures that glow in the night, while the remnants of daily life carry on far below with the miniature cars and people who pass in and out of the scene. Then I find I'm not so bored. Is that the kind of answer you were looking for? Okay... actually I just come to TCS.
LOL!!

Well, considering that I have about 10 projects on the go, I really shouldn't start anymore until I get at least 1 finished eh??
I have my crocheting, and cross stitching that I do on a regular basis, and tomorrow I have decided to make a pair of pajamas that I have been wanting all winter! Nice warm fuzzy flannel ones! lol If I can figure it out I may post a pic of the finished product...and also dependant on what they look like! lol

What I usually do when I am bored is phone my old friends who I haven't talked to in a long time (or not so long! lol). If it's not too late. If it's late, then I come online and try to do some genealogy (family history) stuff from memory, b/c I don't have access to my tree right now, which makes it way more difficult, but oh well.

I also write letters to ppl....or try to watch a movie, pretty much what everyone else has said here tonight


Hope you get "unbored" soon!

Hmmm... Alot of things (I've got ADHD so it's hard to keep myself on one project). My main anti-boredom cures are:

TCS and Playing with my cats (both more then usual when I'm bored
)
Work on my website
Dress up and take photos for my site.
Sing
Draw/paint
Write poetry
Read
Browse online for answers to my many questions
Watch movies
Try to find something to clean (in house or yard)
Find something I can fix
Find something I can tear-up THEN fix

Hop in my truck and go shopping
Oh and Occasionally chatrooms

I just realized I get bored way too much to be 20!
I've never made a list of these things! Odd!

I can't remember if she reads his mind or not, it was a couple years ago I read it, but he did have a young girl kidnapped in his house and the main character witnessed him murdering her best friend and her family and ended up chasing him and being caught by him herself and helping the girl to escape. It was so good! I bought two new Dean Koontz books today...The Mask and The Funhouse. They both look really good!!!!!! The cashier said he'd read Funhouse and that it was good!

Cougar...oh CAR racing!!! Sorry! I thought you meant actual racing!

Have you seen it, is it any good?
That's alright Debby.


No I haven't seen it, but I'm really looking forward to. Rowan Atkinson(sp?) is one of my fave actors.

Oh I must add when I get bored(like I was today) I will shampoo up the dogs(it has to be a scorcher of a day!) and hose them down and they'll shake and get me wet, it's so much fun. The dogs and I did this afternoon and I got funny looks from the neighbours.

The first thing I do is come here! I read, surf the Web, watch the news, take JC for an extra walk if it's light out, write emails... Actually, I always find something to do.
