Keeping Hand Busy

I tend to eat when I am bored or antsy. I know I am not alone in this. So here are some ideas of things you can do when you have down time to keep your hand and mind busy and out of the kitchen

1. Knitting - scarves and blankets are really easy once you get started. And you can easily do it while watching tv.
2. Embroidering - It if fun and creative. You are able to create great things for people
3. Reading - I always have a book that I am working on. If it is not too intense, I keep it around to keep me occupied during commericals.
4. Computer - If you are able, having a computer around for fun things at night helps keep you busy. I like Facebook to keep in touch with people from my past and present. This blog is a great way to pass time. I have also heard good things about The Mommy Business ;-)
5. Find something to organize. - Photos are usually asking to be put in some sort of order.

What do you do to keep busy and out of the kitchen???
