Marge's Post-School Anti-Stress Strategies

#1. Listen to loud, obnoxious, angry, "girl power!"-ish type music in the car on the way home. Selections include (but are not limited to): Kelly Clarkson, Taylor Swift, and Katy Perry

#2. Recite lines from Lizzie Bennet to self. Lines from episodes 7 and 9 are particularly helpful.

#3. Watch Lizzie Bennet. Particularly her rants at and about Collins and Darcy in episodes 6, 7, 30, 31, 32, 36, 39, 54, 55, 57-60.

#4. Eat some chocolate.

#5. Read Harry Potter books.

#6. Laugh as Ron, Fred, and George make sarcastic remarks in Harry Potter books.

#7. Cry as people die in Harry Potter books.

#8. Eat more chocolate.

#9. Listen to Harry Potter books on tape. Laugh and cry some more, but without the requirement of propping up a book in front of your face.

#10. Watch Gilmore Girls and eat exorbitant amounts of chinese food.


And, when all else fails....

#11. Bake cookies, make tea, and blog about frustrations on the internet.
