Just because you are single doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy valentines day too. Grab some chocolated from that secret stash we all know you have, pick some of those award winning flowers out of your neighbors garden, and rent children of the corn.
Hey if you don’t have anyone to be all lovey dovey with..why watch some made up relationship on t.v.!
With that..enjoy your Anna Howard Shaw Day!
Step 1: hit snooze. It is very important that you get at least 5 more minutes of sleep on a Monday. It is going to be a rough day, so you need to prepare.
Step 2: Take a shower, start off cold so you wake up. Oh and make sure to make it quick!
Step 3: if it’s 8 o’clock turn on channel 31 and begin watching old Saved By The Bell episodes while you get ready. I promise it will help make the morning more bearable.
Step 4: Make sure to pick out something bright and cheerful. According to some new research wearing bright colors often lifts your mood and others around you. Although sometimes you just might be the cheerful douche who is looking happy on a Monday…But you shouldn’t care about that because you are happy! Right?
Step 5: GET COFFEE…the success to any good day is coffee in the morning. Whatever your poison of choice is (iced or not) you should really drink it. At least before any contact with the outside world.
Step 6: Try to eat something before heading to your first meeting, or class. I’ve found that going to class on an empty stomach makes me not only grouchy but also not all there…and the same with morning meetings. (gross)
Step 7: Once that time comes for your lunch break (that comes just in time)..make sure to spend it with a friend who will be willing to people watch with you.
People watching can included but is not limited to: Making up stories of what the person could be like (and most likely is), Coming up with different names for body shapes (fudgsicle shape is my new favorite), filling in the conversations that you see happening (this only works when you are far away… repeat this only works when you are FAR away), pointing out others flaws (you don’t have to look your best while doing so), and playing guess that celebrity.
Step 7: Put on a brave face and head to your next class/meeting/back to the office. Also listen to music on your way there, suggestion: Soul Sister by train. It almost always puts a smile on my face.
Step 8: Eat something chocolately, or just bad for you. Greasy foods included.
Step 9: Once in the safety of your own home take out a beer/wine/strawberry milk and watch The Office reruns, they will be sure to make your day better, and you will also get exercise from laughing.
Step 10: Put on your most disgusting PJ’s and head to bed.
Hopefully this will make your next Monday just a little bit better.
Step 1: create an account. And in doing so you must come up with some terrific domain name as to attract readers.
Step 2: Take a deep breath. It is rather terrifying to think others will be reading what you are putting out in the internet and most likely judging you for it.
Step 3: Go to new post…
Step 4: Come up with some extremely witty post title, and please for the sake of your future as a blog writer do not use “hello world.” It will only end in tears.
Step 5: we should probably back up a step and make sure you decided on a topic you wanted to write about. It doesn’t have to be something flashy, just something you would like to share with the world.
Step 6: Once you have gotten through breathing into a bag, and have typed your first two sentences, go back and erase them. They probably aren’t as funny as you thought…so you should just start over. Good Job, you are almost done.
Step 7: Hit spell check. I know I know you are amazing at spelling and won 1st prize in 10th grade…but do it anyway.
Step 8: prepare to publish….take a deep breath, a sip of vodka and hit the magic button.
congratulations you are now part of the millions you choose to share their views on the world through words.
