Ladies it's that time of year again: The Holidays. If you have had your heart broken recently then arm yourself with friends, family and wine. Oh and eat lots of yummy food, especially on Thanksgiving. Perhaps it will induce a food coma and you could just pass out without enduring too much sadness.
Most importantly work out your will power because I know there are going to be moments where you just want to cave and call. I figure if I can survive the holidays, then I'll survive in general. So, my flock of single women, go out and do not stay home. Isn't the saying, "Drink and be merry"? See, it's practically a rule for the months of November and December.
You are allowed a few sappy movies to kill some time. The universe knows, I did that this past weekend: The Mirror Has Two Faces. All I have to say is: Barbara Streisand and Jeff Bridges. I ended the night with a little Puccini. Don't get me started with Twilight...it was an excruciating experience that I could not turn away from. So, do not be afraid to watch movies that will make you cry; it's healthy!
Oh and listen to lots of Christmas music! It's jolliness is infectious and it's hard to be depressed with all the jingling and cheerfulness. Focus on your Christmas shopping, instead of what you would have bought him, or what he gave you last year. Send out Christmas cards!! It's a lovely gesture and more importantly, it will help kill time.
Become the official Christmas tree decorator of the family.Volunteer your services to all and that should keep you busy for a few days. Go to every holiday party = free liquor and food! Not I'm not advocating becoming an alcoholic or a sloppy drunk, just find that happy place.
Use the holiday season as an excuse to buy a new outfit(s). I know shopping isn't a cure all, but it sure helps your attitude when you look good. Focus on getting rid of old clothes, shoes, letters and refill that space with new trinkets and clothes. The new year is around the corner and wouldn't you like to start fresh? I know I would.
And my newly independent women, let's try to minimize drunk dialing, texts, or emails. I am guilty of 2 out of the 3 and you never feel good about it in the morning. If you have to leave your phone at home or with a friend, do it! For you slightly cray crays, no showing up uninvited to his house, this isn't the 80's and you're not John Cusack.
So, remember ladies: friends, merriment, family, wine, food, shopping, wine and some exercise to prevent weight gain and promote energy.
Good luck and fingers crossed!
