Watch as Stevie Nicks is more awesome than us all in this 1981 demo of Wild Heart. Gah! Sing my life why don’t you!? SING!
Read this smart writing on blogging by Helen Jane.
Listen to a Podcast. I have one you might like. It’s called the Joy the Baker Podcast with my friend Tracy from Shutterbean. It’s not a big deal… but it kinda is.
Put a bunch of weird stuff on Etsy. I’m smitten with this print.
Thought Catalog. Get obsessed. It’s full of thoughtful articles like this one: I’m Sick of Summer. The thoughts and opinions expressed in this article do not necessarily express the true feelings of the linker.
How about a henna tattoo?
Separate M&Ms by color and plow through… well, eat them all.
Tromp around the house speaking like Julia Child for an hour. It’s like the weirdest ab workout ever. It’s cool. No one is watching.
Take pictures of your grumpy cat and then surround that picture in little colored hearts using the Picfx app.
Bourbon.
Go steal a stuffed grape leaf from the Whole Foods salad bar. Not that I’ve ever done this… I’ve just heard from people that it’s delicious (despite being illegal).
Put something in the oven. Next week: Roasted Plums.
Google image search cellphone pictures of Natalie Portman’s wedding… or whatever. I mean, it’s not like I’ve done that or anything.
Flip through a copy of the new issue of Got a Girl Crush. It’s an awesome look at awesome ladies (just like us!). It’s inspired and divine (just like us!). It’s beautifully put together (just like us!). ps. if you don’t want to splurge for a hard copy, you can flip through a free pdf.
Make a dance video for your best friend. Yes, that’s me. No there’s no link to the video. I’m not ready for that sort of exposure just yet. Too soon.
Lather. Rinse. Repeat with the Stevie Nicks…. because we’re OBSESSED.
Christina
If you didn’t steal the WF grape leaf…then it must be Tracy. She’s already got the truffle salt on her record ;)
Diane, A Broad
I was just going to say! Stuffed grape leaves are definitely Joy’s truffle salt. :)
Justus
Perfect timing for this bog. I’m injured right now and reallllly bored. Thanks!
Kelly Ann
Based on the above post, I think we could be friends
inthia
I’m keeping this list WAY handy. Thanks
Diana
Ha this is too funny! Where was this yesterday when I bored enough to be taking pictures of my dog too and creating lists of food/desserts I want to make. The list turned pretty long, but it seems your boring day turned into a fun one!
Seanna Lea
Sounds like a great list of things to do when bored, though it doesn’t include my favorite: Nap!
Umm, yeah, I love the naps.
Averie @ Averie Cooks
As always fabulous list and fun links – love the pic of you, your cat, your pre-roasted fruit, your mhendi/henna tattoo, and your Stevie Nicks obsession!
Maggie @ A Bitchin' Kitchen
Hahaha, I’m pretty sure my friends would disown me if I sent them a dance video. My dancing is only slightly more terrifying than my singing!
Katrina
Stevie Nicks is simply the best! You crack me up!
Lady Jennie
Now where was that roasted plum recipe when I didn’t know what to do with all the plums on our tree? Apart from a clafouti … there’s really nothing you can do with plums.
Amix
Ooh plums are wonderful – try just cooking them a little (sliced or large cubes) with some cinnamon, sugar/honey, and use as a topping for waffles or pancakes… Or just in a bowl with some vanilla ice cream.
They’re also delicious in a crumble!
Glad you made a clafoutis, delish :)
Megan
Plum crumble! So good!
Nicole @ the Dirty oven
Cute! Your hair in the last pic.
Erica
Oh my Joy….talking like Julia Child around the house? Check! Did you see the Julia mash up video? Amaze! http://on.mash.to/N59CQU
Dance on, blog on and cook on! :) As always, thanks for sharing!
Lucy
You match that bathroom. Also, I love your cat. Also? “Bourbon.” Word.
Kris
Oh my! I totally need that print. Story of my life.
Lynne @ 365 Days of Baking
Stevie Nicks…wonderful memories of the 80’s! Thanks, Joy! One of my all-time favorite songs…’Talk to Me.”
(Had to have the video playing as I type this!)
Such a cute kitty even when he is grumpy!
