So it's been a bummer of a week - one of my close friends just left Boston for good (we'd known eachother for 8 years - since day one of college), another one of our friends is prepping to leave, and a lot of other little downers have been creeping up on me this past week.

Usually when I'm down in the dumps I go to the gym, engage in some retail therapy, or find an excellent burrito place where I can drown my sorrows in guacomole and veggie refried beans.  Last night Trish took me to see Iron Man and that definitely lifted my spirits.

It's amazing how the little things can do so much to pick you up...

What's your secret for insta-happy moments? What puts you in a good mood?

doing yoga helps me out.  I find it more calming and challenging at the same time versus going to the gym.  I think being alone sometimes really helps me.  Laughing at funny tv shows/movies works too.  Getting a massage/facial/mani/pedi.  Just thinking that as bad as I may have it someone always has it worse.  Hope you feel better, Allix!

spontaneous day trips are always fun.  go somewhere you have never been.  it doesn't have to be big.  last summer i went to china town by myself and had a great time.  i went again with a friend the week after.  exploring the crazy markets and trying weird food was sweet.  also my favorite music always does the trick.

Aww Allix... that sucks, but don't fret you know if they're true friends you'll stay in touch!

As for happy-things... yeah I like to indulge in some retail therapy sometimes too, and Iron Man was greeeat btw!!! :) Otherwise...

1.) Smelling something yummy/good like baked goods or lavender. Cheesy but it works!
2.) Totally pampering yourself... bubble bath, face mask, whatever
3.) Being a real slug and staying your PJs all night doing nothing but slug activities... OR
4.) Getting really dolled up and going out. Either one as long as you're totally indulging your mood, not worrying about social obligations and doing whatever you want :P
5.) So silly but buying yourself flowers can be a cheer-giver if you like them
6.) Definitely cute animal esp. if its your own!
7.) A big, fat red velvet cupcake
8.) Yeah, a chick flick. Works depending on what you're feeling depressive about
9.) Some exercise, then maybe a sauna visit afterwards whether you're already at your gym or just running outside
10.) The smell of the ocean... although I know that can be hard to get to sometimes!

Hmm what else.. :)

Alli and I definitely saw some cute dogs last night. One doggie hadn't grown into his ears yet. ::cue awwww::

1) Walking around in Boston. Not in heavily crowded areas that make you want to push or kick someone in the ovaries.
2) Having friends drag me out of the house (for the most part.. the actually dragging sometimes causes bruising)
3) Music.. sometimes I listen to one song on repeat until it cheers me up. lol.. So I guess that isn't insta.
4) And I'm gonna say this in a totally girly way.. but chatting with a crush is definitely an insta-happy.
5) Literally just laughing. Although some people might think you're cray cray.. most will think you're keeping a secret. If they ask you what it's about.. say 2 of the most random things you can think of. "Oh man.. it's about cheeseburgers and the clothing tax in Omaha".. then laugh. Okay that wasn't funny.. and you can probably do better. :)

Let's go to Costco and get electronic drum sets.. hitting stuff helps too.

I did get a fun bit of insta happy when I checked my email this morning. I'd felt too crappy to go teach my session at BRM earlier this week so I'd sent over a packet with instructions for a short lesson and a few exercises that my students could do with the program's director.

One of my students from last session sent me a really cute email (I say cute and yet the guy is like 40something, but you know). The email told me that he'd signed up for the second session, been reviewing his notes from everything we'd gone over during the first one, and had been able to take over and use the stuff I sent over to teach class by himself. I thought that was pretty cool.

lot's of places do deep fried pickle's. they are good in honey mustard. more than 2 and you do not feel very "insta -happy".

I adore cuchi cuchi's deep fried tomato. yum
(and for the record I have deep fried a brownie and it does not compare to the oreo).

Although it now makes me laugh and think of Napoleon Dynamite, good tater tots make me insta-happy. As do good fries, wedges, hash browns, etc. Hello potato. I like you. :)

A marathon day  (or night) of watching movies about crazy women on Lifetime Movie Network used to always make me feel better. Oh and you must eat pizza while doing this. Since I don't live alone anymore I rarely get the chance to do this now :(

definitely a tough one, as you all can see, as we mature you often lose touch with your peeps.  however, look at all the new peeps you just became friends with the helpof yelp!
tomorrow brings new promise and the brewcrew, so maybe we can finally start to win again
