Things you do to cheer yourself up after having a crappy day
 

.

Trashy reality tv. It always makes me feel better about myself to laugh at other people.

Does it make me a horrible person? Maybe. Does it make me feel better about myself? Definitely.

Eat.

Long bubble bath, glass of wine, trashy romance novel, a few candles and fabulous music. Or dinner at Panera.

Wife Swap, Khloe&Kourtney, and/or ANTM, and on some nights, a nice Jack and Coke.

Trash tv can be awesome.:D

ETA: 30 Rock is my non trash tv cheer up favorite.

Paint my nails or (have them done professionally)

Hit the gym

Drink a glass of wine or champagne

Watch Arrested Development (that's my go-to show for cheering up, but anything that makes you laugh)

Get a good night's sleep

Drink. Heavily.

(sorry, having a crappy day myself.)

carbs, wine or beer depending on the mood and Lifetime movies
or
movie and popcorn-I've been known to go by myself if I don't have anyone to go with at the moment. It's dark and you're not talking anyway.

I like the way you think.:D

Operation repo. PERIOD. If that show doesn't make you laugh your a$$ off and forget how crappy the world has been to you, I don't know WHAT would.

YES. Also love.


Can't forget G4's junk food tv. (Campus PD, Cheaters, Cops...and ninjas, lots of ninjas).

Comedy on youtube. Old-school SNL when I'm really bummed.

I like to go virtual shopping. I go to my favorite stores online, put tons of stuff in my "shopping basket" and then leave without buying anything.

Eat carbs, drink beer or whiskey, watch COPS/OpoRepo/SouthPark, have sex.

just watched america's funniest home videos

I had that kind of day myself, & virtual shopping is a quick fix for me too. I also play stupid hidden object games online until I'm relaxed. And I walk the dog. It helps both of us.

Drive on a country road with no traffic and a high speed limit!

SUSHI!!! Or jump in my car and drive somewhere. Anywhere. To the beach, to another city. Hop on a freeway and just see where it goes. I do that a lot.

My fave when I was stressed beyond measure? First, I got a massage and vent about my day to my massage therapist (she obliged me and usually complained about her bf so I could focus on someone else for awhile). Then to the store to buy lavender-scented epsom salt, which she recommended to me. Then, what I called "grown woman time." This consisted of a bubble bath, candles, Chaka Khan and a glass of wine. Cell phone--off. The world--on hold. Let marinate as long as needed. :)

you know what i thought of when u said grown woman time right??? :D

starbucks!

book, music, and dvd shopping

I totally forgot about Ninja Warrior. Seems there's an all day marathon with new episodes today. Ninja Warrior is an excellent way to cheer yourself up no matter what type of day you're having!

Nooooo I have to work this afternoon. Guess I'm gonna go Ninja Warrior right now.

You crazy kids can't find anything to do but run around sniffin' each other and plotting how to get someone's pants off. Shame. :sternface:

Watch an episode or two of A History of Britain.

Wander around the drugstore and pretend I'm 12 again, looking at the makeup and buying absolutely nothing.

Going to my favorite place ( the library/ bookstore) and wanding around for hours.

going thourgh my cd collection and listening to ones i haven't listened to in awhile

walking around IKEA

My new best friend! :D

THIS! I do this if I'm having a bad day, or sometimes if I'm just bored.

Hahaha...sometimes Jack can be a very supportive friend after a long day.

When I have a bad day, I like to shop online, drink a little vodka, and get in people's business on Facebook/Twitter.

Ditto on driving random places. Cooking, maybe some Jack and Coke, too.

Usually, I'll just jack off if I'm bored out of my mind.

Bump.

Would love any other suggestions you may have...especially for when a bad day turns into a bad week. Thanks!

Go for a late night over-priced frozen yogurt run with an old best friend from high school. We complain about things that really aren't that bad and laugh at each other. It's the best :)

Watch Jersey Shore or the Real Hot Mess of Atlanta

I'm having a bad day too. So I'm listening to christmas music. Hopefully it will help some.

i treat myself to a starbucks soy chai latte. grande'.

Hmm, well, I'll usually listen to my iPod and sometimes fall asleep listening to it. If I'm not tired, I'll listen to it and dance in front of my mirror. Sometimes, I'll drive (depending on the weather) where there isn't any light pollution, and I'll look at the planets and other galaxies (mainly Andromeda) with my telescope. It's either that or I'll play AoE.

I've been having quite a few low days and spending snuggle time with my kitties and playing with them cheers me up. Even though they can be obnoxious I know they love me unconditionally and they are really pleased by simple things such as the feather stick or playing fetch.

Knitting and spinning helps too as any anger can be directed into some fierce drop spindling, but with a spinning wheel my foot goes too fast and we have chaos.
