When one is crabby, there are so many ways to deal with it... screaming, smashing things, abusing people, drinking a lot. But if we're in a "treat our self and others well mood" I suggest other methods. Here are three.

Music
Who doesn't enjoy listening to a little Bell Biv Devoe mixed with ABBA and the Beauty and the Beast Soundtrack? You can find this delicious mix via an IPOD or the cheaper route - launchcast.com. When Hot for Teacher comes on, you'll thank me.

Movies
Looking to cry and laugh at the same time? Muriel's Wedding will do that. If you'd rather be freaked out and scared, try The Shining or The Silence of the Lambs. And let's not forget one of our musical choices - the classic and always enjoyable Beauty and the Beast. Just imagine Belle walking through the town in the beginning of the movie, singing her ass off. Sigh... if that doesn't make you feel better about life, what will?

Sports
Come on people, just pop in the Red Sox Championship DVD or any of the three Patriots Championship DVDs. Need I say more? Oh, I do? Okay, then we must also discuss the merits of NASCAR. Yes, this can turn even the crabbiest person's mood. That's just 'racin. And of course, we can never forget bowling. Who doesn't like imagining the pins are our most despised enemy?

So there you have it, three simple ways to overcome your crabbiness. Of course, you can just ignore trying to deal with it and just embrace your crabbiness. That has its own merits. Just shut your door at the office, turn off your phone and give people the "I will murder you" look when they try to talk to you. That always works for me.
