CHOCOLATE....in moderate amounts, of course!

My boyfriend is a masseuer, and I've found that even a quick massage can work wonders. (Look for places that do chair massages, they're usually quick and less expensive)

My pets always seem to mellow me out too...I can talk to Star forever, or rant, or cry, and she just listens.

I also love to sit and read my favorite books. I've got a few that I've read so many times that I can open them to any page and get swept away in the story...gotta love a quick escape from reality.
