I'm having a 'me' day.

I've decided to have a ME day today. It is all about ME for the next 24 hours.

No worrying re work today or what dribbly, whiny, demented patients I will have to care for tomorrow. No housework (apart from dishes and cooking). I will do my pilates and yoga today. I will give myself a facial, and try out those new face and body creams I bought yesterday on special. No running round in the car to get groceries or whatever. I will surf the net, work on my new book, I will soak my poor, calloused feet in some soothing bubble bath oil, I will give my hair a treatment. I will write an entry in my diary.

I will also have my favourite drink later, Southern Comfort (best drink to come out of the US!), and not feel guilty about the calories.

Yes, I need a ME day today.

What do you do on your ME days?

Specializes in all things maternity.

I like to call my "me" days as Blessing Days.

I like to get up early while the house is quiet and enjoy having my daily devotions and Bible time.

Other than that I like to go to the gym, take a walk outside, play with my dogs, talk to my family on the phone, surf the net or play internet games, read or watch movies.

As a general rule, we dont get near enough Blessing Days and I try to enjoy mine with everything I have.

:p

Wake up when my body wants to (not by my annoying cell alarm)

If it's nice out, take a walk

Go grocery shopping

Bake something yummy to go with dinner

Shower and put on my comfiest PJs

Catch up on my shows (True Blood and Biggest Loser)

Spend time with my boyfriend

Save the guilt for moral matters - no one on their deathbed, ever, has thought Gee I'm glad I saved those excess calories....

:D

Have a great day, we all need and deserve one :yeah:

how do you know, have you been on a deathbed before???

For my me days I:

Sleep in

Get up and drink coffee while surfing the net

Go to a fancy yoga studio for some hot yoga

Go get my hair cut and colored(soo much fun trying new styles)

Go browse the bookstore for a new find while sipping another Starbucks coffee

Go back home and put on my comfy clothes ( Lululemon pants and hoodie)

Put on a moisturizing face mask treatment

Buy myself a 6 pack of beer which I will drink most of while cooking a luxurious meal and the settle in on the sofa with a blanket to watch movies while I eat my dinner.

Go to bed when I want to and get up when I want to. Watch what I want on TV, No freakin cartoons! Read a new book after spending the entire day at Barnes and noble drinking cappuchinos at starbucks and eating a huge gooey pastrie with nuts on it and then to to a restaurant and order the biggest lobster I see. And take tiny, tiny bites of it so it will last longer. And then fall out in my huge kingsize bed covered in my three Dachshunds

I have retired so basically I sleep when I want anyway.

So, today I watched some good stuff on TV. I love the 'Sunday Morning' show! Read for a while, then eventually went to a movie. Alone.

Saw Made in Dagenham. When it was over, I called my hubby to join me for dinner. Enjoyed dinner, then home to relax!

Most of my me days involve staying in my pajamas most of the day and doing whatever I feel like: reading, trash tv, surf the web, try a new recipe, sit on the back deck with something cold in my hand...just depends.
