The Bacon Cure

Relaxingspa
























By Kathleen Daelemans

Top Ten Ways to De-stress During the Holidays

1.  Iron.

2. Hand sew almost anything.

3. Reupholster your dining room chairs. It’s really simple.

4. Make a sea-shell framed mirror with an inside pearl border.

5. Paint your wood floors. It’s relaxing.

6. Hand bead a dress for an upcoming important party.

7. Take that crappy wooden chair your husband’s had
since college and paint it bright orange. Then paint
thousands of miniature flowers all over it and tell
everyone you got it at an art fair for only $300.

8. Make a purse from scratch.

9. Remove all the non-fun people from your guest lists.

10. Sauté bacon strips and simultaneously practice your deep breathing exercises.

OMG! I've been transported thru cyberspace to Martha Stewart's website.

LOLOLOL, Kathleen. You are too funny. Everything you write is so good!

(I cooked a package of bacon and put it in the freezer last Sunday... are you part of the Psychic Network? I cooked it in the oven and cleaned while it baked.)
