The Feel Good Department

[InspectorExstead]

So I'm watching the Today Show, and Matt Lauer is in Amsterdam. And we's wearing extremely dark sunglasses. If you stop and think about that, and you know why Amsterdam's noteworthy....

...a good laugh like that's what I needed to start my day.

:lol: that was a good one.

[Courtnee]

So we've decided to stay friends and I'm cool with that.

10 more days of school............

[*Pleasant Tomorrow*]

Holy crap it feels so good to have my last paper of the year done. Now all I have are finals but I'm not as worried about them. Ahh, so pumped. 13 days and I'm out of here.

[mrs.gingerhinkley]

My weekend has officially begun! :)

Ah, such plans I have for the next two days....

[InspectorExstead]

i'm thinking it's time to FINALLY paint and fix my room up. i'm tired of these bland and boring white walls, so some purple would be really nice! and hopefully my parents agree. lol.

Sleep... no waky-upy. Tired... Sick... People angry at work... Tired...

Thank God it's finally my weekend... It's been a long week...

I still have a load of unpleasant things to do tomorrow... but for now, I will entertain the illusion that I may sleep for two days...

[PZelda]

The itch cream I got to help with the toe eczema is AMAZING. Finally... relief!

[*Pleasant Tomorrow*]

My english professor told me I was a great writer when I went to hand in my take home final and a compliment like that coming from a professor really made me happy. :)

Also, I just finished my last final so it's officially summer for me! :woohoo: Now I'm waiting for my dad to get here so I can clear out my dorm room and go home.

so glad i found my mp3 player. it was gone for eight or nine months. it was expected to be lost at some point though because it's so tiny.

Right now, I am the happiest I have been in my entire life. How's that for a feel good post? :D

If you don't mind my asking, what kind of school do you go to? Like, public or private? Not that it really matters. I'm just genuinely curious.

I always thought that a large university would be scary, so I went to a smaller one. I hated it and transfered to a big one. Soooo much better. Wasn't as scary as it seemed or as people made it out to be.

[*Pleasant Tomorrow*]

I had an awesome time at the concert. It was a little awkward being with him but we did like we always do and just acted like nothing's wrong. I almost starting crying in the car when 'look after you' by the fray played because it makes me think of him, but I'm not that stupid to cry in front of him and everyone else. Overall, fun time. Complaint department or here, not sure but I need more posts in this thread

We are leaving for Yosemite tomorrow. :) We will be back late Monday. I look forward to this vacation. I haven't been to Yosemite since I was a little girl. I can't recall a thing abt that trip. I have pictures but it is not the same.

[Hollow]

damn, what an amazing concert. the moshing was brutal, i got to be about 20 feet away from dave mustaine and some guy sold me a concert shirt for $5. metal shows are the only place where i feel like i fit in with everyone else.

We're getting some heavy rain!!! http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj149/impishseraph/hello%20and%20your%20cute%20smiley/1cb353a84e3f54c4ba093705cf1ca29dcfa.gif It's suppose to rain this weekend as well! FL needs this rain with all the fires going on! Thank you God! Hopefully this will do the trick so no more people lose their homes.

Bed Bath and Beyond Coupons make me happy :D

[Ireneparalegal]

That reminds me, I have a gift card from Bed Bath & Beyond that is waiting to be used. :cool: I love that store.

[dawsongirl]

Bed Bath and Beyond Coupons make me happy :D
50% off makes me happy. 70% makes me happier!

[*ClassicPinUp*]

50% off makes me happy. 70% makes me happier!
I agree! :D

On another note; I just got the Leg Magic from Bed Bath & Beyond two weeks ago *using a 50% coupon* and have to say...I LOVE it! It looks so easy on TV but its not! I consider myself pretty physically fit and yet I found myself clinging to the bar barely able to move my legs :lol: I'm a LOT better with it now ;)

Now I need to go back and buy some towels! The towels seem to disappear in this house :crazy:

[*ClassicPinUp*]

Bed, Bath & Beyond will let you use their expired coupons. :) If you have one of theirs and it has expired they still take it. At least they do here anyway. I don't know of any other store other than BBB that does that. They also let you use as many BBB coupons as you have. My mother goes in there with 3 or 4 and it's like Christmas to her, j/k. :)
:rofl: My mom does the same thing! She saves them in her purse until she's got a nice collection going on and then walks into BBB like some Queen of the coupons. Not me! Once I get one I want to use it right away!

[Ireneparalegal]

Ok are we all BB&B lovers here? :heart: :lol:

BTW what is the Leg Magic device you speak of?

[*ClassicPinUp*]

BTW what is the Leg Magic device you speak of?
It's a simple piece of exercise equipment that works the legs, inner and outer thighs, booty and lower abdominals!
It's my new love (next to the fluidity bar)...and it folds up and fits under the bed! ;) :lol:
http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?order_num=-1&SKU=14774610
^ It says it only works the legs on there but that's far from true. The actual leg magic website goes into better detail; http://www.buylegmagic.com/

[*Pleasant Tomorrow*]

The other day I saw the most perfect rainbow I had ever seen in my entire life. The full, complete arch and another, fainter one right above it. Earlier today when I was laying out in the sun, a lady bug landed on my foot. Both, I believe, are signs of good luck. Well then, I certainly hope something good happens because it needs to. Really badly.

[Jo_Luvs_Ketchup]

I got a cell phone today! :D

Wii Fit rocks. :D

Wii Fit rocks. :D


Lucky you :lol: , I haven't been able to find it here in my town since it's sold out everywhere :(. Stupid me for not pre-ordering it when I had the chance.

I work at Target, and I've been seeing that we get copies of Wii Fit at least 2x or 3x a week (approximately). I worked Sunday... 4 copies were stocked. When I came in to work last night, they were all gone. But when I got off this morning, more had been stocked... so I grabbed one after work. :lol: $85 with my discount, so not too bad (it would've been about $96 after taxes). :)

I reallllllllllllllllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyy love the hula hoop game on it. :D

And for some reason when I did the Body Test, it told me I'd lost 11 lbs today (I did the body test 2x). But when I went to check on my real bathroom scale, I still weighed the same. :confused: I got it because I really don't want to shell out for a membership or exercise DVDs that I know I will never remember to keep up with. So it was worth the money for me. :)

[InspectorExstead]

it's summmmmer! =)
i've found some part-time receptionist jobs that i'm going to be applying to tomorrow. i'm taking one class at summer school, but hopefully i get one of these jobs because i'm going to be pretty bored during summer.

Cool!! I took a public speaking class during the spring semester and I was always stressed out about the speeches even though I managed to do good on most of them. It's a miracle I passed that class because I absolutely HATE getting up in front of large groups of people.

man, i love having a birthday on a federal holiday. i was worried earlier when i didn't know whether i had work on my birthday because it would have been either working for 10 hours on my birthday or losing $70, but it turns out there won't be work and i'll make up for it another day. so glad it worked out.

When I'm on, I'm really on. In my rather silly math class, I wound up getting the math class (instructor, folks half-asleep, hyper-serious studious types, the athletes, everyone...) break out in laughter just by saying "well ****" when the instructor got to a step in a problem that involved doing a process that's a bit of a pain in the rear.

Going to the beach thurs-friday

[Seth]

I've rechecked my figures repeatedly. It *must* be true, even if it shouldn't be. I got 31 MILES PER GALLON on my trip home on Friday/back on Monday. In a 1997 Taurus that usually averages 25-26 MPG highway. I don't know *how*, but it clearly happened.

[dawsongirl]

I'm rather enjoying watching these Days of Our Lives eps from 1982/83. I don't recognize 75% of these characters, but the 25% who I do know were still on in the mid 90s when I was watching. Not sure how this Tony/Renee storyline started, but it ended in murder. mwahahaha

went to the eye doctor today. my contact prescription hasn't changed much in the past year. but i've got a really strong prescription (-6.50). i talked to him about lasik & he said it would be a really good idea for me. the whole procedure takes less than a minute per eye & i'll be fully healed within two or three days. eep! i'm thinking of doing it in two weeks so i have time before school starts. it'll be sooo nice not to have to worry about contacts for the next 25 yrs.

Well as you know, I can't drive because of the epilepsy. So when my sister went to nursing school, it was perfect for me to go to that same school as well. Well since she dropped out, I didn't have a ride. So this last year, my mom's been a teacher at a Business college and they have what I want as well, so I thought go for it! And (didnt even know this when I signed up) my tuition is free!:)

[Southern Hellraiser]

Usually around this time, I'm having anxiety attacks and worried sick about starting school. This year, I'm actually calm and somewhat excited.

I received both a promotion and a raise today. :D

[Seth]

On the way up to Lexington today, I found a group of gas stations in a specific part of a town I pass through selling regular unleaded for $3.59!

This is in the Feel Good thread as lowering gas prices IS what makes me feel good.

[PZelda]

Gas prices here are still higher than yours, Seth. :( But they've dropped, too... prices for all types of gas (except diesel, which was at 4.59 for a long time) was 3.99. It's gone down to 3.84 now. Again, for all types of gas. :)


My feel-good feeling... I found a scanner, new in box, at the thrift store today for $3. :D Haven't tested it out yet... hopefully it works. But even if it doesn't, it was still only $3.

Also, I found a Carol Burnett book that I've been looking for FOREVER - One More Time, circa 1986. I love that book! It's practically new, too.

i'm pretty much in love with this piano accompaniment i wrote for a poem that was written for me. my music theory classes last year really took my composition skills a long way. sorry for the nonmatching icon but it's national pissed off icon day so i'm using it. :grr:

My first day of 11th grade was actually kind of good. It was pretty much a waste of time because the people who had off-campus classes had to sit in the gym during 2nd block (which is nearly 2 hours) and then we ate lunch and were dismissed at 12.

damn, this vocal technique book from berklee does wonders. i had sort of lost my voice over the summer because i was too busy with my job to sing much and i got it all back with just a short exercise. no other methods i've seen have been able to do that.

A few of you guys were wondering about the neck issues I was having (see posts about 2-3 pages back over in the complaint dept thread).

Well, they seem to be improving. I had a massage appointment on Monday that didn't help - in fact, it seemed to make the pain worse. My mom had to schedule a chiropractor appointment for me (and her) yesterday -- she originally scheduled one for both of us on Friday, but I told her I would NOT be able to make it to Friday with the tremendous amount of pain that I was in. The chiropractor really did wonders for me, I think. I'm not in so damn much pain now. I still have pain, but now it is SO much more manageable. They were so bad before that I was having to take tramadol (prescription painkiller) just to take the edge off, and in turn the tramadol ****ed with me BIG time. It took the pain away for a while, but it also ****ed with my balance, made me woozy and also COMPLETELY killed my appetite. Like... I'm not even kidding. The only thing I could stand to eat the past few days was sunflower seeds.

I didn't take any tramadol at all yesterday (when I had my appt) but it was still in my system, so I was still feeling icky from it. It seems to be out of my system now, and I feel better. Been taking ibuprofen now as needed, and doing the neck exercises that the chiropractor & masseue told me to do (they both told me to do the same type of exercise). I still have issues turning my head to the right right now, but oh my god. So much better. That was three days of AGONIZING pain... oh my god. I was starting to forget what it was like to have a normal-functioning neck.

The chiropractor told me yesterday that if I was still in serious pain, he would see about squeezing me in tomorrow. I think I'm good to go now, though... so yay!

The damn neck issues made me seriously not want to do anything the entire time... so I just did a lot of stuff for the first time since the weekend and damn I feel good now. Shower... I have my appetite back now... things like that. :dance:

Andrea, thank you, for your kind words. Yes, it was very hard in the beginning; but, I knew that, sooner than later, that smoking was going to effect my health. Also, it is such a disgusting habit, as, well as expensive; but, I am very proud of myself for quitting. It is funny, but, I do not know anyone that smokes anymore; all of my friends quit, and my family does not smoke..

Her new album is due out in October, isn't it? I hope that she hits the road as soon as it comes out. :D She played many of her best known songs, a couple from Waking UP Laughing (sadly, she didn't peform "How I Feel" :( ) and a few cover songs. Midway through the show she did covers of "Lean On Me" and "Summer of '69" by Brayn Adams. She really rocked out on "Summer of '69". Even though Martina was all of three years old during the summer of 1969, so I'm not sure how "those were the best day of (her) life". :lol: She closed the show with covers of Journey's "Dont Stop Believing" and "Hit Me With Your Best Shot". The highlight of the show was "Where Would You Be". She really hit that one out of the ballpark. I actually had goosebumps when she was singing it. The audiance gave her a much deserved standing ovation after that song. :D

I think her album might have been delayed a bit, but she didn't say when exactly. I'm sure she will do another tour soon after it's released. Yeah, I think she only did How I Feel at the first show, which was here in Detroit. While I like it, I personally would have rather she sang If I Had Your Name, which it seems like she is doing at all the other shows. Yeah, WWYB along with A Broken Wing are two of my favorite songs to hear live. After hearing her do Summer of 69, I looked up the history of the song, and Bryan Adams said it actually isn't about the year 1969 at all, but something more...adult. :lol: I'm almost positive Martina has no clue about the "real" meaning of the song!

"How I Feel" is my second favorite song off of Waking Up Laughing, so I really wish she had performed it. She did sing "If I Had Your Name", which is a really good song, but not as good in my opinion as "How I Feel". "How I Feel" is a really good, uplifting, feel good song.

[HuntingtonM15]

Haha, I thought everyone knew about the true meaning of that song.

:lol: In looking it up I found out that it's quite debated, and several people refuse to believe that's the real meaning.

I do enjoy How I Feel, but it's not a top favorite of mine from that album and I had heard it live before, so I was hoping for something new. It was a nice surprise to hear Whatever You Say, did she do that one at your show or was Valentine in its place?

She did "Valentine" here. I thougth it was one of the highligts of the show. She sang it with pretty much only the piano backing her up. More or less the way it is on the CD. I thought it was a nice moment in the show. "Valentine" is such a simple love song, I think it's a song that is hard to pull off in an big arena, but she did it. :)

Wild Angels and A Broken Wing were her biggest hits, though probably her
most well known song now is Independence Day due to its becoming an
anthem for victims of domestic abuse and Sean Hannity using it as the theme
music for his radio program.

As Lee said, "Wild Angels" and "A Broken Wing" are two of her most popular songs. I think her biggest hit however was "Valentine", with Jim Brickman playing piano. That is a song that became a big crossover hit and was played on radio stations that don't normally play country music. As Lee also mentioned, Martina's signature song is called "Independence Day". My favortie Martina songs are "Anyway", "Where Would You Be", "How I Feel", "Whatever You Say", "Loves the Only House" and "Concrete Angel". A really good introduction to Martina's music would be her 2002 Greatest Hits album. :)


And yeah, Martina is certainly easy on the eyes. :D

My husband's had a stomach ache for about 10 days now. He was planning on seeing his doctor this Tuesday. It got so bad this weekend, that he was doubled over in pain, so off the the ER we went tonight. We lucked out, and they took him right away.

It was as he suspected, a drug interaction. An EKG and a few x-rays later, he was sent on his merry way with a prescription to settle down his stomach, and it did. I was scared. On Christmas Eve morning, 1999, I took my father in with a stomach ache, and they kept him. He had colon cancer, so it was emergency surgery, chemo for months. Given that nightmare, I was elated tonight. On the way home, we stopped at CVS to get his medicine, and I was wearing a witch's hat and singing to the tunes. The pharmacist was laughing. I thought he'd call security. :lol:

That's funny about wearing the hat and singing. Reminds me of when I graduated high school (May 28, 1998). That evening we went out to eat afterwards. We went to Bennigan's. I think that was the restaurant. Anyway, at one point three of us got up to go to the restroom. We locked arms and started singing and skipping (Wizard Of Oz) to the bathroom. Three woman skipping and signing "We're off to see the wizard...". It's funny now. I would have been mortified to have been seen like that by anyone else. :lol: It was spontenous.

gregorian chants from the medieval era are the sound of heaven. if getting a sufficient job in the music business weren't so difficult i'd want to sing this stuff for a living.

Would you consider a career teaching music? Lots of free time to pursue other opportunities as well.

LOL. They were so good. I put so much cream cheese on the top, and swirled it just a little with the brownie mix before baking, tons of walnuts. I get the cream cheese soft in the micro, add a little light cream, vanilla and confectionery sugar. Sinfully good.

Honey, consider yourself, blessed. I am not overweight myself; but, I also know the struggle of trying to lose weight. So, be proud that you are skinny:)
