So, I put on my cute apron, blasted the Christmas music and danced around the kitchen and sang while I baked. It really helped a lot :)Lexilooohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06789424491788958854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4985815732416378405.post-45060298735289502452009-12-09T22:52:18.718-06:002009-12-09T22:52:18.718-06:00Love the pictures..love that you are so honest and upfront.

I&#39;m on day two and it&#39;s spectacular! I wasn&#39;t sad, just had too much crap going on and too many people in my mix.<br /><br />they will be there tomorrow, and so will my to do list, so for now, long live pajama day! where you don&#39;t leave the house, barely leave the bedroom to get a snack, and sleep til noon.Conquer The Monkeyhttp://www.conquerthemonkey.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4985815732416378405.post-47268359623070882332009-12-09T16:02:46.880-06:002009-12-09T16:02:46.880-06:00Music...it has such healing power, doesn&#39;t it? I remember a couple of years ago I had just gone through a devastating romantic break-up. I was driving home after having dinner with a friend and the song &quot;She&#39;s a Beauty&quot; came on the radio. I cranked it and sang at the top of my lungs. For that moment, I was happy.Stephanie Farishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10461865229341760836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4985815732416378405.post-6695559012166101992009-12-09T15:06:44.315-06:002009-12-09T15:06:44.315-06:00This post made me smile. Now, usually I lock myself in the bathroom with a hot bath, candle, glass of red wine, and a murder-mystery paperback....<br /><br />But I love to dance and love blaring music, so I will try it:)Jennifer Lynnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09513201716520406672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4985815732416378405.post-80829698121634655842009-12-09T11:45:54.424-06:002009-12-09T11:45:54.424-06:00Yay for dancing....in fact, I&#39;m at home today(because of the blizzard) and I have a headache right now, but I am thinking dancing will get rid of it...plus I need to clean.

It is how I relieve stress and enjoy life at the same time. And as for the Christmas madness, bah, humbug, I can&#39;t wait for New Years!

LOVE. YOUR. BATHROOM. My tub is an old lady tub and the water only fills up about six inches. Not enough for a relaxing bath. I told Dizzle when we move in together one of my few requirements is that I must have a bathtub. That I can actually bathe in.Kaelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07454853561137411145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4985815732416378405.post-63458082022221968272009-12-08T09:29:52.004-06:002009-12-08T09:29:52.004-06:00I love that you dance, but I prefer my happy pills...no judgment takenLee the Hot Flash Queenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06008336128049089410noreply@blogger.com
