Boredom Busters



Snow angels

It might go without saying that all of you did this as a kid.

Do it again.

It's easy. (And sort of wonderful and exhilarating and plain old fun at the same time).

Here's how:

1. Bundle up.

2. Find a clean patch of snow big enough for you to lay down in. (This can be anywhere, by the way: your yard, your driveway, the top of the parking garage at work ... use your imagination! )

3. Lay on your back.

4. Keep your arms and legs straight and sweep your arms up and down and your legs apart and back together.

5. Stand up (or have someone help you!).

6. That's it. Admire your snow angel! Feel like a kid again.
