Those truffles are great Susan. I usually turned off any form of electronic communication, blanket, couch, a really funny, non romantic movie, and something to help me sleep (maybe some Valerian Root?)
I take one of two routes...
1) Get a blankie, get in my PJ's, rent a bunch of my favorite movies and buy a chocolate cake from the store or make it myself and eat it. All.
2) Get all dressed up and pretty, and go shopping allllll day with my friends. Go out to a fancy dinner and have a girls night.
shop, play with my pets, shop online, lay in bed & watch csi or a favorite movie, shop, hang out with friends & have a drink. if none of that works, i take a xanax!
I walk too. Regardless of weather, if it's that bad I need to be in the zone. Then when I'm calm enough to eat some yummy I get me some B &J's and watch something funny.
karine--sometimes when i am "low on funds", i will hit up the dollar store!! It's just the act of buying something for myself that makes me feel better!
kristy--that is one of my FAVORITE ways to relax!!
1) Playtime with the pets.
2) Bed. Book. Dog.
3) (If I'm mad) The game Boom Blox for Wii. Nothing like making a huge mess (you knock over towers of blocks and stuff) that you don't have to clean up to get the angries out.
This will probably sound stupid, but sometimes when I'm having a really bad day, I write out a list of everything that I'm upset about (my really bad days happen when I have a million and one things going on). For some reason, writing it down makes it all not seem so bad.
The cure all for any bad day--I've said it before people, red lipstick! Put on some red lipstick and just hold your head high. Everyone looks good in red lipstick no lie! When I'm having a really bad day my other sure fire cure--Elvis movies!!! Oh yes! Tickle Me, Live and Little Love a Little, and Girl Happy. You can't not smile and be happy watching Elvis swivel his hips and make the girls swoon. AHHHH I love The King!
