Weekend Assignment #304: How do you de-stress when feeling frazzled?
Extra Credit: The Weekend Assignment may soon have a co-host. That okay with everyone?

De-stressing...
How do I de-stress? Well, Valium works pretty well! LOL. Nah, I can't even take a whole one, I have to cut mine in quarters. I am a little bit allergic you see, and not only do I become the mouthiest person on the planet, but I also become the most honest, which lets face it, only leads to additional stress when the pill wears off. LOL. Now I ask you... who needs that?
My favorite way to de-stress is pretty simple actually, I like to take pictures!

But then I also have to give some de-stressing credits to my kitties, Dylan and Hendrix. They keep me laughing. Pets are so healthy to have around. I know I am as sane as I am because I have these little people to help keep me happy.

But, when all else fails, I have my love of cooking. I cook every day. I like making my own meals. Oh, don't get me wrong, I love a night out once in a while, and I am a junk food junkie, but I love getting in the kitchen with the goal of creating something amazing to eat. What you are seeing in the picture below is a simple dish, Vadalia Onion Chicken. Macaroni & Cheese, and Carrots in Orange/Ginger sauce. So easy, so delicious!

I'll skip the cooking, although I wouldn't mind trying some of your dishes! But I feel the same way about the dogs that you do about the cats! I've read that pets can actually lower your blood pressure.
And the photography - that's another one that really resonates with me. Getting out and taking pictures is a wonderful way to leave the stress behind, especially when you come home with beautiful shots like the ones that adorn this blog.
And it's unanimous - everyone is glad to have you join me in hosting the Weekend Assignment. I can hardly wait!
Is ok with me. lol
I love to cook for my family too but I'm not a big eater!
