Have Fun in an Elevator
Ever get bored on those 60 second elevator rides? Here are some tips to make your trip up (or down) a little more fun. After all, even business people need a good uplifting to work; why shouldn't it be you?
1) Crack open your backpack or handbag, peer inside and ask "Got enough air in there?"
2) Stand silent and motionless in the corner facing the wall without getting off.
3) When you arrive at your floor, grunt and strain to yank the doors open, then act as if you're embarrassed when they open themselves.
4) Greet everyone with a warm handshake and ask him or her to call you Admiral.
5) Meow occasionally.
6) Stare at another passenger for a while. Then announce in horror: "You're one of THEM!" - and back away slowly....
7) Say "Ding!" at each floor.
8) Say "I wonder what all these do?" and push all the buttons.
9) Make explosion noises when anyone presses a button.
10) Stare, grinning at another passenger for a while, then announce: "I have new socks on."
11) When the elevator is silent, look around and ask: "Is that your beeper?"
12) Draw a little square on the floor with chalk and announce to the other passengers: "This is my personal space."
13) When there's only one other person on the elevator, tap them on the shoulder, then pretend it wasn't you.
14) Push the buttons and pretend they give you a shock. Smile, and go back for more.
15) Ask if you can push the button for other people but push the wrong ones.
16) Hold the doors open and say you're waiting for your friend. After a while, let the doors close and say "Hi Greg, How's your day been?"
17) Drop a pen and wail until someone reaches to help pick it up, then scream: "That's mine!"
18) Bring a camera and take pictures of everyone on the elevator.
19) Pretend you're a flight attendant and review emergency procedures and exits with the passengers.
20) Swat at flies that don't exist.
21) Call out "Group hug!" then enforce it.

Technical Difficulties
Hey! Sorry we haven't uploaded a video yet; it was supposed to be uploaded yesterday afternoon but for some reason Blogger isn't letting us. It's been "uploading" for the past 10 hours or so and it hasn't budged. But we'll be posting things other than videos later today... that is, if it let's us do that!
And again, sorry for the inconvenience!

Test Our Video
This is just a test to see if we can actually get a video to upload onto a post. We have tried this with at least seven other blog sites and none of them work. So here goes... we experimented with ways to use tissues. Yeah, I admit we got a little crazy but this is just a taste of what you will receive. Now that I mention it, "taste" was the wrong choice of words for this video... Enjoy!
Welcome!
Welcome to Not Just a Hat by Emily and Audrey! We're two sisters that get bored just like anyone else. But that's why we're here now. Many a day we get bored and realize we don't have to be. So we find simple things around the house that might amuse a small mammal for 10 minutes and turn it into something amazing using string, scissors, markers, and a LOT of duct tape. Hence, why we made this blog: to share our ideas with the rest of the perpetually bored world. Stick around for more posts!
