Bored and broke

[firelight1210]

H and I are off this weekend and we are soooo bored. And super broke. And not creative.

What do you all do when bored and broke at home for free and no kids?

[underwaterrhymes]

LOL.

We have sex.

[hippygirl]

ride our bikes, picnic in a park, hiking, watch movies on YouTube, city festivals

[firelight1210]

Ha! While that does sound like fun, we're both kinda annoyed at each other at the moment. Though I spose angry sex could be good.

[mskitkat]

Netflix binge watch. Community pool. Games.

[missmaddie]

Any free festivals on?
We have a few places we like to take the dog to hike in the woods, but not with kids, so we never make it to.
Any unused movie or restaurant gift cards?
Make popcorn and catch up on a season of a show on Netflix?
Backyard camp fire tonight?

[speckledfrog]

Sex? Board/card games?

[Dusky]

We usually go to the park or bust out some board games.

[firelight1210]

The only festival that is happening does sound like fun (an art and wine festival) but h is being a butt. Hence the annoyance and "no sex for you" at the moment. Maybe I'll just take the dog and go, but that would leave him with no car.

[dexteroni]

Take the dog and go for a hike, then out for ice cream. Mr. Party pooper can stay home.

I live in the South Bay Area, and am super close to downtown San Jose. I think my frustration mostly lies with h at the moment. He's not super active and doesn't want to go for a walk or do much of anything except complain. It's a beautiful day outside too!

[jlt19]

Nap. Oh how I miss the ability to nap whenever I want. Sometimes I'd nap twice a day. It absolutely had something to do with the paxil I was on, but still, paxil induced naps were the best.

[sequins]

Pack a lunch, go to the park and read a book separately and don't talk to each other. Or listen to an audiobook together.

Ever? Ugh. That sounds like a miserable existence for both of you. I wouldn't be able to live like that.

Ok- you both need to write down 2 things that you would like to do
Examples:
-Card Games for sex bets (whoever loses goes down on the other, etc.)
-A walk to _____ (possibly make it a scavenger hunt-ish, spot a dude wearing sandles w/ socks/ a chick wearing a light colored shirt that shows her bra/ etc.) YES- I live in the Midwest- you might hv to Californize
-Lying on the sofa w/ a marathon of ____ (assuming this might be his suggestion?)

You draw one for today/ one for tomorrow. It doesn't even matter if you actually stick to the plan! This is just a personal GoTo when H & I find ourselves 'stuck'
Motivation!!!

My answer is always to take a nap.

That's what we just got done doing. I love naps.

[sessy]

I also live in the South Bay Area and I'm poor, I spend a lot of time going for hikes there are so many great places to hike without driving too far. I'm also a big fan of just going to the ocean. Take a book, some snacks and relax.

[dexteroni]

There you go - firelight1210 and sessy gtg.

I'd leave his ass behind and enjoy doing whatever you want.

Go for a walk, window shop, grab a coffee and people watch, read a book in the park, pack snacks and take them to the park, go to the library, watch movies, cook with whatever you have on hand...and the list goes on. No need to sit around being miserable and bored!

Willow Glen has a wine festival going on today. I am just walking around since I don't drink wine. Leave him at home and go out!

That's one of the things I wanted to do, but i would want the wine, and it's $35, lol

Dh and I love board games and card games and sometimes make it interesting by playing "strip" whatever we're doing. Yes, we're nerds and play strip Trivial Pursuit.

I was going to suggest strip "whatever" because that's generally what we do, though it's rather warm to put on a sweatshirt, T-shirt, tank top, pants, socks, shoes. Lol

Clean, find a house project to work on (rearrange a room, paint something, etc), do something with the dog, go on a walk or drive to take pictures and edit them at home, read, TV, video games, pick something new to try with sex, cook something different, find something free to do locally, visit the library, drive somewhere new, visit friends.

...We were broke for a really long time. My list of things to do is huge.

[livinitup]

I used to visit my parents and eat their food, drink their wine, lounge in their garden and act like I was doing them a favor.

Need air conditioning? I could kill a few hours in a library or book store.

If it's hot and you want a thrill, you can always recruit DH to hop fences and trespass in pools. (That may be weird over 30).

[skib]

Start organizing closets and drawers! Find some stuff to sell on eBay so you have cash to go out next weekend.
