If you have the time, you should rhyme.

 

If you have the time, you should rhyme,

It may seem stupid, but you just have to do it.

I don’t know much about Shakespeare,

And I really am not fond of beer,

But pour yourself a glass of wine,

Sit in a chair and try to unwind.

Think of words that could make sense,

Past, present, and future tense,

Jumble them together and see what you get,

It’s not that hard– you’ll be rhyming yet.

Cream to make you Gleam (get your mind out of the gutter)

Delicious Goodness.

Delicious Goodness.

As dirty as that may sound, no, that’s not what I mean when I say “cream.”  I mean actual cream, as in creamer, like coffee creamer?  I know we’re infertiles, but goodness, not everything is about sex and babies (though usually it is… and I guess this post kind of is too… because the whole “get happy” thing is so you and I can stop being sad about our pretty pearls.  Okay you win, “cream” is totally a porno word, and no, it’s not your fault that your mind went there.  Go ahead, take 30 seconds, think about sex and babies and “cream”…. okay, come back now, next paragraph).

Color Yourself.

Green.  Natural.  Stunning.  Beauiful.

Green. Natural. Stunning. Beauiful.

Sometimes it’s the smallest things that make the biggest differences.  Like everyone else, there are days when I just feel Ugly. Ugly, Ugly, Ugly (with a capital U– as if it were my name and that’s what everyone now calls me).  If I am having an Ugly day, sometimes it seems that there is nothing I can do to feel good.

Spanish Music

Have you ever listened to Spanish music?  I mean, really listened to it?  On purpose?  Sure, maybe a Spanglish song will come on in the car once in a while and it’s all great and cool and you like it.  You memorize part of Pitbull’s most recent song and sing along “..que no pare la fiesta, don’t stop the paaaaaaarrrtyyyyy!” and feel like a million bucks because you know the Spanish part.  That’s not what I’m talking about.  I mean serious, completely Spanish music– not mariachi (what you hear in Mexican restaurants) but Spanish pop, rap, reggaeton and bachata.  Maybe I’m a little biased because I’m a Spanish teacher, but do yourself a favor the next time you need a pick me up… Continue reading

Kindle, Wine, Bubble Bath

Husbands will happily serve you in the tub.. you're naked! And they're providing you with booze!  It almost always works out in their favor.

Husbands will happily serve you in the tub.. you’re naked! And they’re providing you with booze! It almost always works out in their favor.

One of my favorite ways to relax and get happy is to read a good book all snuggled up.  To get extra happy, I like to read a good book all snuggled up with a glass of wine.  To get seriously happy, I like to read a good book all snuggled up with a glass of wine in a bubble bath.   Continue reading
