 6 Great Boredom Busters

by Lisa Cregier

The Reminisce Round-Up

Essentials: Your best or favorite music, prepared jerk chicken; favorite lounge-wear; scented, blue-tinted bathwater; an audiotape of nature sounds; water rushing against the shore accompanied by birds calling, a frosted goblet of Pina Colada/Margueritas, or your favorite tropical drink or wine, a scented candle: and old photo albums.

Go Treasure Hunting

If you’ve never spent a Saturday roaming the thrift shops of your city, you haven’t lived.  Take a friend along and discover unique treasures beyond your imagination at unimaginable prices.

Dejunk Your Closets

Go through your closets and determine what’s useful and what’s not…What goes in A Goodwill Bag to be donated and what stays in its place..

Rejuvenate Your Home

Clean your entire house, throw away the old stuff and discover extraordinary finds under your own roof.  Things you thought were lost, and treasures you didn’t know you had.  Re-arrange your bedroom and spray your clean sheets with rosewater spray.

Indulge Yourself

Make an appointment for a facial, a full body massage, or a pedicure/manicure.  Spend the weekend trying on new dresses at your favorite stores, and buy at least one that strikes you as spectacular..

See Your City From A Sightseer’s Chair

Take a day and ride a Sightseeing bus.  You’ll discover things about your city that you never knew.  Look in the yellow pages for a city tour that will interest you.

Treat Yourself

Go out to your favorite restaurant or order in your favorite meal.    Do a moviethon with all your favorite movies, with plenty of your favorite snack food on hand.
