I have a serious case of the blahs

[Lavender Brown]

I'm okay, I just feel so... blah. It's the feeling I usually get in the middle of the winter when the weather is gross, and it's only early November. What can I do to get out of the rut? Change my hair color? Go on a trip? Eat all the leftover candy from yesterday? x(

[hippywife]

1. Rearrange the furniture?

Anything creative will probably help. Hope you get rid of the blahs soon. :hi:

[Lavender Brown]

8. That's true

I have been thinking about writing. :hi:

[GOPisEvil]

2. Do something you enjoy that you haven't done in a while.

Treat yourself to something special.

[Lavender Brown]

10. What I haven't done in a while

is take a real vacation. I've got to start saving for Italy next summer. :)

3. DOWN WITH GROSSNESS.

We had a week of gross weather here, and it turned me into a grouchy little kid.

Please don't ever change your hair. It's lovely. How about red wine and a few bits of chocolate to go with it? And then some sort of guilty pleasure, like re-reading a book you love just because you can? Also, I find that winking at yourself in the mirror helps you "get the joke".

;-) :D :toast: :hi: :hug:

[Lavender Brown]

4. Ok, I tried winking in the mirror

I blushed at myself. :7 :hi:

[Sugar Smack]

5. LOL!

:spray:

*new keyboard! O, does anyone have a new keyboard?*

[WCGreen]

6. I think Chocolate Syrup squirted in your mouth....

Standing with nothing on but your robe, in front of the open refridgerator......

Or make prank phone calls to the local republican HQ....

[Sugar Smack]

7. Now, that's just inviting disaster!

Esp. the chocolate syrup! That's the path of no resistance to utter tragic disaster, and a great cure for "blahdom". I like it, & I believe I'll try it, and make a few sugar blackout phone calls!

:woohoo:

[WCGreen]

9. My number is 867-5309

[Sugar Smack]

12. I fell for that once!

Fool me once, shame on.. fool me twice...won't, uh, fool me..can't get fooled again.

:rofl:

[WCGreen]

13. We use to play that song in my bar band.....

Everyone loved that song.....

[Lavender Brown]

11. Ah... prank phone calls

Caller ID totally ruined that innocent fun. :D

[Fox Mulder]

14. I feel that way everyday.

:(

[Lavender Brown]

16. ?

:hug:

[Fox Mulder]

19. I always have a case of the "blahs".

Maybe it's from my lack of a social life. I dunno. :shrug:

:( :hug:

[GreenPartyVoter]

15. Me too *hugs* Let's go do something wacky!

[Lavender Brown]

18. Road trip!

:toast:

[GreenPartyVoter]

20. Sounds good. Personally, I like to plan my trips around interesting

mini golf courses. :D (Seriously true. On our honeymoon we stopped at nearly every mini golf course we found and have made this a habit ever since.)

17. sounds like you have the blues

Talkin' to myself and feelin' old
Sometimes I'd like to quit
Nothing ever seems to fit
Hangin' around
Nothing to do but frown
Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down.

What I've got they used to call the blues
Nothin' is really wrong
Feelin' like I don't belong
Walkin' around
Some kind of lonely clown
Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down.

Funny but it seems I always wind up here with you
Nice to know somebody loves me
Funny but it seems that it's the only thing to do
Run and find the one who loves me.

What I feel has come and gone before
No need to talk it out
We know what it's all about
Hangin' around
Nothing to do but frown
Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down.

[Lavender Brown]

21. The Carpenters always make me smile...

Thanks :D

[cleofus1]

22. I'm just happy to be of service

my work is done here...i must go now!

[just a girl]

23. I'm right there with ya.

I've had to listen to a lot of Jem to keep things in perspective.


Life, it's ever so strange, it's so full of change
Think that you've worked it out then BANG
Right out of the blue, something happens to you
To throw you off course and then you
Breakdown, yeah you breakdown
Well don't you breakdown
Listen to me because
It's just a ride, it's just a ride no need to run, no need to hide
It'll take you round and round sometimes you're up sometimes you're down
It's just a ride, it's just a ride don't be scared, don't hide your eyes
It may feel so real inside but don't forget it's just a ride

[Lavender Brown]

24. I take it that's not the pink-haired cartoon Jem?

The lyrics are a pretty good description of how I feel. :hi:

[just a girl]

27. She's a singer from Wales

I love her stuff.

:hi:

[alarimer]

25. I've been feeling that way too

too much work, too much depressing news (Alito etc), my apparent inability to have any social life whatsoever (I run away when anyone shows any interest- well, not literally but you know what I mean). So I am drinking a Pyramid Apricot Ale-m surprisingly good, strange as it may sound.

[Lavender Brown]

26. I hear ya

:beer:

[Sugar Smack]

28. This is me feeling "blah"

:hug:

[Lavender Brown]

30. You're not looking overly blah

:shrug:

I'm wearing horrible pajamas with an angel print my mom got me :blush: :blush: :blush: , Garfield slippers, and I have a Breathe Right strip on my nose. So you see why I won't be posting my pic.

[Sugar Smack]

32. Ooh, I'm wearing my "Paris" shorts

and a dark blue "blah" shirt, and some off-white socks!

:patriot:

Party!

[Floogeldy]

29. Such is the human condition.

Life is not full of pulsating joy. That was never meant to be.

U R gonna be okay.

;)

[Lavender Brown]

31. I know. Thanks, Floogeldy.

:)

[caty]

33. I used to get

depressed every winter. Then I kept my living room well lit during the daytime and downloaded some screen savers that showed pictures of green grass and trees. Instead of looking out the window and seeing snow or brown grass, I would look at the screen savers and see green forests and pastures. These two things made a big difference.

[liontamer]

[flamingyouth]

36. Me too.

I miss my boyfriend. It's cold, rainy and dark here. And my neck hurts. x(

Sorry you're feeling it too.
