What do you do when you are bored?

What is it that you do when you are bored? Do you do more exercise? If so like what? Or do you just sit back and watch tv/movie? etc. At times I get bored of doing the same "bored things" over and over. I think this would be a great way to get new ideas on how to get out of bored?

    If I just watch something it makes me crave more food. I walk on the treadmill and watch something at the same time.

    I hang out on this site and post on the forums and people's statuses. That may sound sad, but it's like a second life for me.

    I have two actually. I have a chorkie (a chihuahua, mixed with a yorkie) and a black lab mixed with a pit bull.

    I'm really struggling with boredom since I was laid off. Only been a little over a week and I'm going nuts!! Between all the job searching and the interviews, if it's not raining or freezing, I will go for a walk. I also try to get a nap in every now and again. All the extra exercise is wearing me out (in a good way).

    Yup...me too :D I love reading forums and people's status'...I find it rewarding and motivating. HAHA...perhaps a little pathetic yes, but it keeps me from eating the pantry clean :D

    I agree with everyone else! I really count on the forum, its the first thing I do in the morning because its my daily inspiration and motivation. Reminds me that I'm not doing this alone! Sometimes I go for a drive when I'm bored though, as long as you won't be tempted to stop at a fast food place!
