What I am doing to make myself feel better;
I love shopping on Etsy.com even if this a temporary fix.
I'll be rereading The Art of Happiness by the Dali Lama. Seriously, if you haven't read this book you should, it's an amazing book. It's not all about Buddhism, it's more about ways that you can handle life.
I have been thinking about getting another tattoo for over a year now, this may be the motivation I need to get it. If you listen closely you can hear my Dad grumbling. Anyone know any tattoo parlors in the burbs that are any good? The good ones that are in the city are a bitch to get to.
UPDATE: Top Notch in Elgin was recommend to me, anyone know anything about them?
This song;
If you are a girl and you need a song to basically say "I'm not going to lay down and let you walk over me" this is THE song to listen to. My Twitters buds also gave me a nice list of songs to listen to, so thank you so much for that.
Things others have done to make me feel better;
My family- Mom "when one is trying to get pregnant, it is counterintuitive to have an affair, where one typically tries to avoid that outcome. Duh!"
Frank "Fuck 'em"
All of you guys! Your comments really helped me. You all said the right thing and you all were right. So thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
Dan wanted to make me feel better so he nominated me for some blogger awards. While I was looking at them I noticed that the AMAZING Andy had already nominated me. So if you would be ever so kind as to vote for me it would make my heart super happy! (The screen shot is an old one so don't be confused if you are new to my blog. I have emailed the website to try to get this fixed!)
Speaking of voting, you guys did such a great job voting for my comic blog. I did not get into the top 100 for this month but you guys really helped me climb the rankings! For the month of Janruary my little comic was ranked higher than some pretty major players. I am so grateful for your votes that I am going to draw a name this week instead of waiting till the end of the month. I will be holding a monthly giveaway for votes on the comic blog so keep checking in over there to get the news! Every month the numbers get reset so I will be needing your votes again!
P.S. I have decided to start posting comics every Monday and Wednesday on my comic blog so add it to your reader!
New comic is up! Click here to check it out.

I'm glad that you're feeling better! *hugs*
And Ani DiFranco is awesomeness, personified! I love this song. <3
You are so welcome. I'm glad that you are feeling a little better. The book that you are reading sounds interesting. I'll have to check it out.
PS you've been tagged. :)
Have a great day Rachel.
*hugs & kisses*
BIBI
Glad that your feeling better and I will have to check out that book sounds great. What kind of tattoo are you going to get?
mistressmom- That song is the only reason I survive some days
BIBI- It is a great book and I highly recommend it!
Mandy- some cherry blossoms and maybe something with a Buddha theme
Do some yoga. That always makes me feel better.
That was all so crazy, it's ridiculous! I'm glad you're feeling better now. When I need to pick my mood up i go to gym, it tends to clear my mind out a lot - maybe it would work for you too (I'm not saying you need to lose weight ok.
Oh and Zombie Santa rocks my face:)
Congrats on the comic blog doing so well. I'm going to go check out that book later today.
I can't believe that your MIL would say such things. Way to get pushed out of your kid's and grandkid's lives. DUMMY!
Another blog? Don't you have, like, a kid to raise or something?
Ani DiFranco makes everything better. 32 Flavors is my favorite.
Kristen- I love me some yoga
Thomas- I'm actually still sore from my angry workout on Friday
bFlat- thanks! Trust me, it's a really good book
Punkybean- trust me, you don't want to get me started
Frank- dude, she's 4, she practically raises herself. I'm planing on making her get a summer job this year.
Lindsay- ooohhhh that's a great song too!
I'm glad you're feeling better. :)
Good luck with your tattoo...
The Dali Lama plus Ani....what could make a person feel any better??! I'm glad you're doing better! And your mom and Frank BOTH have GREAT points!!
Frank gives the best advice.
So,
1. I guess this is like MY mistake for not letting you know before.
2. I can't see the link to the place where I nominated you... :S
3. You are amazing and totally deserve it.
4. If you get a tattoo, let me know, maybe it'll help me find the guts, I mean the inspiration, to get mine.
PS. I just saw them. I'm blind.
Glad you're feeling better! :) Sounds like an interesting read, too. Thanks!
oooh what a cute bracelet. :)
and seriously glad you're feeling better, woo.
prin- once I get my tax return I'll let you guys know what happens next
Jules- yeah, they come pretty handy sometimes
Frank- he helps me and kills my mom a little inside all with one blow!
Andy- 1. glad you found them
2. they seem to not be showing up for me either, will have to fiddle
Kylie- thanks and it is a fabulous read
Katelin- it came in the mail today and I LOVE it
Glad you are feeling better! :)
Love that bracelet! Glad you treated yourself. Gotta do it!
