Which of these do you do? Any other suggestions? For a laugh, check out the list of things my dad used to do to keep from being bored at my other blog: "My Funny Dad, Harry." I bet that will give you some new ideas of things to do.

My husband is always rearranging furniture when he's procrastination something. It drives me nuts!
I love rearranging furniture! It drives everyone in the house nuts but I think it keeps things from getting stale. And someday, I know I will find the perfect arrangement for each room.
Great list there, I too love to 'clean' drawers when I'm bored. Reading always works for me too also blog-walking. You have a really nice blog :)
Pretty much all of them. Well, except play with cats because we don't have any cats. I don't pull weeds either. I hate yard work. I'd add one more...wait for spring.
Have a terrific day. :)
I love zoos, wish there was one closer to me. Good list!
No matter how bored I am, I cannot imagine it would ever cross my mind to pull weeds or knock off icicles! If I'm that bored, I'd just go back to bed ;0)
Oohhh... I LOVE REARRANGING furniture!!! Makes me feel like I've moved...without the expense!!!
I'm never bored. I watched a movie today I saved from the Halmark channel. The call of the Wild. A good movie.Then there's always housework for me to do. I wish we had a zoo closer to us. We have to go to Little Rock. Have a blessed week, Doylene
I don't have time to be bored! I'm always running to catch up with all the tasks on my To-Do list! I think a little down time with nothing to do sounds heavenly!
Two years ago after I broke my wrist I couldn't do a whole lot for about 2 months. So I spent most of that time reading my Bible and praying. Looking back now, I realize how much of a blessing those months turned out to be.
I would add "volunteer" to the list :) and say that I am way too busy to be bored yet :)
I also read books and watch television but I love to listen to music and dance around the house. If I'm really bored and in danger of eating the entire refrigerator, I'll make myself get on the treadmill.
