The Year of Yes

How to feel a thousand times better about anything.

Acquire the following:

1. Feather boa
2. Bubbles
3. Sparkly tiara (or a wig) (or a stupid hat)
4. Silly glasses (can be substituted with a clown nose)
5. Lipstick (optional)

Sprinkle with vodka. Season liberally with loud music. Mix well.

And voilà.

One simply can’t feel crappy when wearing the above items.

Fact is, I’ve had a rough couple of days. Not sleeping well. Not eating well. Back pain turning up to 11. Just can’t stay ahead of the melancholy that’s always nipping at my heels. So there I was on my drive home tonight, feeling sorry for myself and wondering WHO’S GONNA SAVE MEEEEEEE?!

Well, I resolved to save myself. One detour and $16 later, I had the ingredients for chasing the blues away.
