I guess it's being down here with no friends yet and feeling lonely and then I'll go for a few days of hating the way I look, blah blah blah....I find myself being a funk for a few days...and then not....and then funk.....ANYWAY....

What do you do to cheer yourself up?

buy something expensive

On a REAL TIGHT budget Don.... otherwise you bet I would!

How about a new lipstick? Maybe go to the makeup counter - get your face done and just buy the lipstick.

I sing. It always makes me feel better.

I go and buy myself a new pair of shoes. That always cheers me up.

I either look up puppies online...puppyfind.com or go to the pet store and look at them. They are so cute and sweet and always make me feel better.

I sing, or watch a movie I love, like snow white or pirates of the caribbean or the breakfast club

GO SHOPPING!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's an expensive method, but it always makes me feel better

My sure-fire-out-of-a-funk prescription:

It requires the Charlie Brown Christmas CD, but that's only about $10.

Play 'Linus and Lucy' (the main Charlie Brown Theme) and dance like the Peanuts characters dance.

There is NO WAY you can be in a bad mood after 5 minutes of that.

Never fails.

have to agree..when I'm in a funk I force myself to yoga or the gym.
Afterwards I feel energized!!!

I have two girlfriends who I met 4 years ago in a kickboxing class. We've been to each other's weddings, work out together (helps to keep me motivated), and go out for drinks..Aerobic classes are great ways to meet other women.

I was gonna suggest that too! But actually, it would make me more sad that they need homes and that I can't have them all!!!

So I say snuggle with your own puppy dog!!

I agree too...even if it is at home...exercise makes me feel better BUT i usually opt for the shopping method

I shop and eat really good food. I am no supposed to have chocolate or caffiene (dr's orders) but when I am down I eat a kit kat and treat myself to cherry coke!!
My dad told FH once that whenever I am down he needs to take me to the mall and let me pick out a new handbag. Last time I was bummed we went to the Americana, lol. I was happy within an hour after being sad and pissed for 3 days.
