Daily Post--7/16/08

What is something special that you have done this past week just for yourself? I know that I have trouble taking time to do things for myself... I'm interested to hear what you all come up with!

Read a chapter in a new book. I love to read, but have little time to do so...I am trying to make it more of a priority.

Well, I did a little clothes shopping today, and then went to Starbucks and had a coffee all by myself, and enjoyed a couple of hours without my kids. And... I made an appointment for next week to get a pedicure. I'm flying a week from Friday to Maryland for a weekend with girlfriends, and wanted to have pretty piggies!!

I decided it would be too difficult to smell food cooking so DH is cooking every meal himself for a week. We'll see how I feel then. Happily the weather is cooperating and he's having meals on the deck too. He's a great, understanding man. ---jan---

I bought myself a new nightgown, finally. A pretty one. HOT PINK!! I think the last time I had a pretty nightgown I was probably a teenager.

I went upstairs early last night. It felt great to crawl into bed and jus****ch some mindless TV for awhile...guitar hero was getting on my last nerve in the living room!

I rode in a dressage clinic on Sunday. A 1/2 hour lesson with a well known instructor from New England. Super time and learned a lot. Getting my nails done on Saturday ~ this is an every 2 week must as I have fakers on but I love them and love the "prettiness" of them. An hour every 2 weeks of pampering for me.

I have worked 12 hr shifts for the last 4 days, so I havent done much of anything for me lately, but I will think of something. Vivienne I really want a new tattoo

Well on Monday I went shoe shopping and got two new pairs of running shoes on to work out with and the other to work with. Then I sent my son to spend the week with my grandparents and I stayed home relaxed and watched lifetime all day until I had to go to work ( I work nights at a hospital) it was very nice. Should have gone to work out but I felt great relaxing

exercised in pool with no kids around - have never did this before and it felt great just to swim and feel relaxed.
