GTKY Monday -- Favorite "stuck inside" activity

With Sandy blowing through the Northeast, it seems appropriate to ask what you like to do when you are stuck inside, be it for hurricane rain and wind, 6 feet of snow, or?for you sunny location people?blistering heat and sun?

And let's leave out the obvious... ahem... adult 'stuck inside' activities.

Lol besides the obvious I'd say reading, especially something slightly creepy.  When I'm stuck inside it's because of rain or snow not heat so it's always kind of dark and grey. 

That being said with Sandy I'm kind of hyper-paranoid about the wind so I'm not sure I'll be able to relax and read today.

I've been checking the board, watching the news and keeping up with friends on FB.  I should just find a book to read since I usually don't get that chance, just not sure I have any in the house the will keep my interest.  The winds are howling and the trees are dancing like no one is watching.  I hope none of them trip.

Netflix...I will start a new TV series and have NO LIFE until all 8 seasons are finished.  I also like to crochet, but I usually do that while I am watching something or hanging out with friends, it is a multi-tasking hobby.

If we have powerguilty pleasure girly movies or watching a whole tv season on Dvd/netflix.

For no power eating canned goods, reading, board games esp Scattegories.

Reading for me.

To keep the kids occupied we have races down the hall way. Not running (wow broken pictures). We do a variety of things; bunny hopping, crab walk, bear walk, walking backwards etc. I always give the little one a bit of a head start. I have it figured out pretty well, they typically end around the same time

Great ideas!

We play board games like Settlers of Catan, Agricola, and TransAmerica... watch Netflix... make forts of out of pillows and blankets... with DD, we haven't had many "stuck inside" times yet, but we tend to read books to her, have dance parties, and watch videos of her as a baby. She loves that for some reason!

Cooking. 

We're about to head into 4-5 months of this, so I had better start stocking up on my movie selection and recipes!
