10 things that were better back when...

1/ i could laugh and giggle whenever i wanted...i use to love it when i was able to laugh our loud and giggle all day long. i also was able to giggle at silly things and it was ok because i was young and did not care when others thought.

2/ i could sleep all day and night....my mom use to hate this but ohhhh....those were the best days. i loved to sleep and there was nothing waiting for me so i could sleeeeeeeeep!!!

3/ BattleStar Galactica...Sunday nights were awesome because me and my dad would watch this show and loved it!!!!

4/ traffic...i miss the days when i could drive on the highways and did have to worry about stop and go traffic.

5/ nightly news...the news back when was so much "happier". i don't remember seeing so much crime and ugliness when i use to watch the news. it is so bad lately that i hate to watch the news at night (and the day!!).

6/ 30 minutes tv shows...ohhhhh i use to love watching Happy Days, Laverne and Shirley, MASH, Mork and Mindy, Welcome Back Kotter. Those were some awesome shows and I loved them!!!

7/ my hair...it was so think and black and i loved it. i would spend hours on it and *sighy* again, i loved it!!!

8/ trust...there seemed to be more trust way back when. you did not go around watching your back all the time, fearing what your neighbor may do to you. people seemed to trust eachother more back when...

9/ COKE...i know it sounds wierd but i promise COKE seemed to be better way back when. it really did.

10/ Dance Places...there was a time when we were able to go to a few dance places (Thirsty's) and we could dance and dance and dance (we were under 21 so it was so fun to be able to have a place to hang out...).

2 Peas Today's Challenge~ What do you do to calm yourself down when your very upset or stressed out? Listening to music (country or soft rock) will help to calm me down (if i am on the verge of road rage!!!). If i am in a store, counting helps! At work it helps to move to something else for a while or walk away from the situation (these always help!!). At home...well yelling ALWAYS relieves my stress but I have learned that is not healthy for the family or the pets (teeehehehehe) so....watching tv, scrapping, reading a magazine and music can help me out! Now.. i have to tell you any and all of these things can work when i am feeling great and i have life by the huevos! If that is not the case there are ONLY 4 things that will help (please be warned these are not healthy or encouraged). COKE CHOCOLATE SHOPPING ***x-rated*** Now...i have been known to do 3 of those things at once if the stress was real bad...the 4th....well if I could discover a way to add that to the mix i think i would have discovered paradise....teeeehehehehe!
