What do you do, when you have nothing to do?!


Quote  |  Reply

I'm so sick of tidying - even when the flat is tidy! And I feel like I spend my life at the gym, and I don't think thats healthy.

I'm an art student so I've been making some more clothes and things, but what else can I do to spice up my life until I go home at Christmas?? I can't believe everyone else went home early.... Undecided

What does everyone else do when you feel like there is NOTHING to do? C'mon, everyone has days like this!

Bake.

Chat.

Oh, you mean.. when I'm at home?

Read, Watch a DVD, Play a game, pull open one of my puzzle magazines...

hmm, I always have something I have to do. I don't have enough time in the day. Of course if I'm at work and caught up, I spend my time here. Smile

I can't remember the last time I had nothing to do.  At the moment, it sounds kind of nice.

"I did absolutely nothing, and it was everything that I thought it could be."

Meh, if I ever actually have the house to myself, I typically read stuff on the internet or veg out on the couch and watch an old movie.

I'd like to say I'd exercise, organize my half of the bathroom, or read a book, but who am I kidding...

Wanna come over and clean my house? Tongue out 

How about filling out Christmas cards or something holiday related that you have been putting off for a while? Otherwise I usually read, watch dvds, or head to the bookstore and just browse the new releases... :-)

go out window shopping :) 

Surf the net

Read posts on CC, read, cook, eat (may not want to try that one.  that's how i wound up here)

Log onto CC and annoy people.  Cool

Play video games, computer games, surf the net, chat, clean, cook, read, watch TV or movies, play tennis, walk the dog, organize things...

write, paint, day dream, make a wish list, play with the canines of chaos, go through closet looking for newly found old stuff to try on, continue remodeling projects..............

Im so fidgety, I don't know why I can't keep myself occupied. If I'm not doing something productive then I get angry with myself haha. I haven't watched proper tv since I left home because it is sooo boring. Anyone agree? 

Oh god, window shopping is baaad hahah. My friends put a block on ebay on my computer 2years ago because I bought things like crazy. I'm the same with shops, but hey, money's there to be spent! 

I ended up BACK at the gym but for 2 hours instead of 1 Wink

what about having a diy spa day. have a really long bath/shower, smother yourself in some lush bath butter, manicure, pedicure, face mask?? even making your own face mask could be entertaining?

sometimes when i'm bored i try on all my clothes and make up outfits, or just walk around my house in something for 5 mins and then go try something else on. hahahhaah. :|

I sit around and complain about having nothing to do, and let my husband find something for me to do.

Usually he complains that I've got an expensive sewing machine and tons of fabrics sitting around collecting dust, or I've got a brand new box of crayons and several perfectly good colouring books lying around. 

I try to organize, read or think about running (note: I don't always run if I have nothing to do, but I like to think about it).

 

Failing all three, I resort to DVD marathons of my favorite shows (Criminal Minds, Grey's, SATC and The West Wing).

Oh man, I'm so jealous, I wish I had a garden! When I moved back home for summer to save money I found anything I could to do in the garden. I miss doing DIY too Frown
