"When God fearin' women get the blues..."

Yes, the title is a reference to a Martina song.


Occasionally times are just a little hard, ya know?


This is what I do to chase away the blues:


1. Watch the entire Sophia Grace & Rosie channel on Ellen's Youtube channel.

2. Read the travel blogs of people way cooler than I'll ever be and, of course, read Jaunted as well. I have been reading Jaunted.com for years now. It tells you exciting things like when airlines have new routes and the antics of the TSA. Dorky, I know. As far as travel blogs I like, there are simply too many to list. Most have awesome pictures of far away places. My to-travel-to list grows longer the more I read. It's a blessing and a curse, really.


3. Researching Hunger Games news really drives the blues away. I like to check http://www.myhungergames.com/category/news  
like I check my facebook.


4. Skype with my nephew and my nieces. Warms a heart right up!


5. Read funny ecards at www.someecards.com

6. Remember where I live and what my job is.

7. Go skiing with no one else except your iPod. I may or may not have jammed out to the title of this post while flying down the slopes. There was a lot of Beyonce in the playlist, too.

8. Make a yummy dinner to eat while watching Friends DVDs.

9. Hey Girl Teacher! is my favorite of these memes. A couple favorites that have made me laugh over and over again...

10. Watch reality t.v. shows with strong cult followings through really sketchy back channel means and then read the recaps over at ew.com.

11. Listen to this song on repeat:

(ignore picture of random asian lady obviously auditioning for American Idol...haha)

12. Remembering these:

Hey! That was 12 things, which just happens to be my favorite number! Look how that worked out!
