I have a confession. I play an insane amount of Spider Solitaire. There, I said it.

So what do you all do when you're trying to kill time? :D

I make cards. Birthday, baby announcement, just because. I've even been making videos to show how to make cards. I'm on a great crafting forum and like to share stuff with them.

I do lots of stuff online, like looking at facebook and ebay. I also will go through Onewed more thoroughly... look at posts I'd skipped by. I enjoy reading, too, though I don't do it nearly as much as I used to. Now that I've started the Twilight saga, I've been reading a little more, but it's harder to find a book that intrigues me as much as those.

I too come here!

I spend so much time on the computer that when I am at home and bored I stay completely away from it.

Right now I am making Christmas gifts for fh's family.

i gave up on twilight! i was SO into it! haven't picked up a book since alex was bron though, and i have only read 2 or 3 of them...then i saw the movie twilight, and i'm through with it...i MAY watch new moon, but i doubt it.....

HOWEVER, i've gotten TOTALLY addicted to the "house of night series" by the cast's(mom and daughter)...VERY addicted!

I come here and pester you lot. :D

I'm looking forward to unpacking in the new house and getting back to doing Dolls Houses. Searching eBay for 12th Scale furniture. Building new houses and decorating them.

I also look on eBay at really weird stuff. Or put in "Home and Garden" and "Nearest First" and see who's selling goodies nearby.

DH has Facebook and i go on to play games and bump his score up when he's not looking. ;)

When I'm on the road:
Workout, Read (I usually bring a few magazines and books with me), browse the net, call FH five hundred times,

At home:
Go outside and play with my dog and/or the chickens, work in the garden, cut the grass, CLEAN the house - aaand re-arrange things (furniture) so that when FH comes home I can say "Just THINK about how it would look with this color paint and the hardwood floors in!!"

What do I do when I'm bored. I come here, I know I can spend at least an hour here catching up. I play with Daisy or pester DH. I take photos, edit photos and play in photoshop. I enjoy word circles. We as a family like to go to the park and hang out just to pass the time. But recently I had a friend invite me to Facebook to play a little game they have there. It's called Farmtown and man is it addicting. haha

Well, I get bored a lot at work. (like right now for example...) and what am I doing? well, I'm here. I play spider solitaire, freecell or other online games. I window shop online and sometimes, I resort to reading wikipedia. Yup, wikipedia. I'm like, I'd like to know more about platypus, or Trinidad or whatever strikes me at the moment. :worm:

If I'm at work: I come here, google ideas for the wedding, check my e-mail like millions of times a day.

At home: I try and be productive either by cleaning, wedding stuff, going for a run or if all else fails, sit down in front of the t.v. and veg!

Lately I'm on MySpace because I've become addicted to *sorority life*. Ugh. I know, I have a hard time admitting it LOL. But I can't do it from work cuz it's blocked, so when I'm bored at work I am on my forums... emailing friends... and doing a little work in between :)

It's my job to be bored. lol They don't give me enough to do here so when I'm bored I like to look stuff up online. Like I won't usually buy something without researching it first and reading reviews. So I spend a lot of time doing that. I also try and find the best deal possible on stuff.

I also like to play Farm Town & Farmville on FB. Those are my guilty pleasures I usually don't usually admit to. :bbredface:

Boredom, what's that? I never have a chance to be bored.

Board meetings, weddings to officiate, a website to maintain, emails to answer, sermons to write, paper work to file, gotta surf OneWed.

See never get a chance to be bored.

Hey Rev. Matty wouldn't you call a bunch of guys who are trying to build a 68 Corvette Roadster without directions crazy? One guy with a I-phone does not sound like rational beings. Indiscriminate sawzall and pneumatic jackhammer to remove rusted bolts. I think I'm perfectly sane and I would have used the directions. LOL

I am so addicted to Farmville. FH got me into, and now I can't stop playing. It's bad to admit to it though lol.

Usually when I'm bored, I surf the internet. I go on all my sites that go on, and catch up on a couple of the forums I belong to. I play Uno on FB, and play some other games as well. I also like downloading those 1 hour free trial games, the time management ones, like Diner Dash or Wedding Dash. I could spend hours playing those games.

Well, since I'm unemployed right now ... :irked: I'm bored an awful lot. I'll clean the house, do weird things like arrange our clothes in the closet... I read... go on OW, facebook, and truuconfessions.com (probably my guiltiest pleasure!) ... I've started Christmas shopping (Not for a good reason like in the other post.. just because I love Christmas that much--I'm one of THOSE people!) and... I don't know, I'll go for a bike ride, catch up on phone calls like to my grandma and stuff.

At work I computer surf A LOT: (I have a lot of down time here because I'm an adjunct for the summer and don't really have any of my 'own' work to do)
- onewed
- aol
- my local newspaper
- check each email a billion times
- craigslist
- "screen" shopping (think "window" shopping) at any and all stores I can think of
- do errands like paying bills

At home:
- play with my new puppy!
- tv
- word whomp at POGO.com (love it!)
- clean or unpack boxes (we still have A LOT to do!)

Maybe it should be rephrased

"When there's nothing else to do and TV is as dull as dish water" :D

Ahh the internet is a great thing when I am bored! I love etsy.com and facebook. Currently I spend my free time looking for wedding stuff! I am getting obsessed which is okay because I don't have much free time!
