There is something that I really enjoy, but tonight for some reason, it seems to be a drag. No one is around wanting to have fun. After a long week of tending to a sick child, I just want to have some fun in my own house.
Any suggestions?

A bit of a desert in terms of TV. Video?
@jonsblond…we could slip around back for a little ‘slap and tickle’.
@jonsblond…or we could skip the slap and go straight for the tickle…
Hot bath, glass of wine, candles.
@jonsblond – I don’t know, I’m currently surfing the web and hoping a funny question will appear on Fluther! (I’m fresh out of ideas.)
I’m also freezing, evidently, we know keep out house 1 degree below freezing. WTH is the hubby thinking? AcK!
I think blondesjon is sending you an idea! ;~)
…I am dangerously close to raiding the pantry for all the junk food I can find. INTERVENTION!
@cak Stay strong! You will hate yourself in the morning when you are too bloated for breakfast.
@Marina – I don’t think I’ve ever experienced being too bloated for breakfast! Wow. Oh, yeah…husband cooks in the morning, rare event. I can’t miss breakfast!!
Crap….those chips sound sooooooooo good!
I deal with boredom by… not getting bored. I don’t know if I know what boredom feels like. I always have something to do or to think about.
Possibly my favorite movie quote ever, from Mike Leigh’s Naked: “Was I bored? No, I wasn’t fuckin’ bored. I’m never bored. That’s the trouble with everybody – you’re all so bored. You’ve had nature explained to you and you’re bored with it, you’ve had the living body explained to you and you’re bored with it, you’ve had the universe explained to you and you’re bored with it, so now you want cheap thrills and, like, plenty of them, and it doesn’t matter how tawdry or vacuous they are as long as it’s new as long as it’s new as long as it flashes and fuckin’ bleeps in forty fuckin’ different colors. So whatever else you can say about me, I’m not fuckin’ bored.”
@jonsblond: My Mom always said of you’re bored – you’re boring. I hardly think you’re boring :p
….Do you really want to hear Fluther’s opinion on this?
Pssh, jonsblond? I thought it was a GIVEN that he wasn’t boring! :^)
[edit]: That’s SHE’S not boring. :)
go jog some miles! :) i’m telling you jogging it out really shakes off all the stress or in your case boredom.
Or you can go walk the streets and take pictures while listening to music.
that shall work :)
