Very uncharacteristically, I stayed up until 3 am reading last night. Then woke back up at 10 am, made myself a cup of black tea, hopped back into bed and stayed there for another hour until the last possible minute to get ready for work. I'm totally swept up in this book, Trail of Crumbs by Kim Sunee. http://kimsunee.com/books.html
I'm so bad at doing things for myself, especially during the school year. I just took antibiotics to hopefully end the three week illness I've been having does that count? I think now I'm going to curl up in bed and try to sleep.
just did my hair and gave myself a pedicure. now i am surfing the net while my house is being cleaned. shortly i will leave to see hillary clinton. that will be a big gift! a good day!
caprese salad is one of my most favorite foods.
today i went to a new dermatologist for a second opinion.
today i sat outside and soaked up a little bit of sunshine.
and the best thing i did for myself was had a dance party with my girl.
I ate a spinach salad for lunch instead of a bowl of cereal, because I knew I would feel better hours later.
I sat on the couch and spied on the robins that filled the tree outside our front wondow, while one of my cats slept and purred on my lap.
Gorgeous colors in this beautoful photo
o.k...yum. that salad looks so mouthwatering! for me, i took a nap today from 4:30 to 5:30 (very unusual for me). now i'm totally recharged and can stay up to watch 'lost'!
Well, I gotta tell you today I was totally worthless at the office. But I did come home and make potato soup. And I am going to watch the Project Runway episode that I fell asleep and missed last night. That's for me. And I would love one of those salads.
i didn't think i'd done anything yet today, but i have: morning pages.
:)
I called my mom up and told her she was going shopping with me.
I, then called my husband to let him know he would be watching our three little ones while I shopped.
And after the day I had, I so totally deserved this. (so did my mom.)
:)
i have not done anything for myself lately, but your posts always motivate me to.
thank you for that! and your salad? looks divine!!!
I will go for a walk in the sunshine, even though I should be studying for my exams. :) Thanks for that, I wouldn't have done it without the encouragement, but I really do need to do that. xoxo Hope you have a lovely weekend!

for
me

i'm just about to take myself on a little writting date. my grandparents will have britt for a couple hourse so it's a good time to sip some tea and write my heart out...
Well... I'm nursing a sore hand, hurt in a fall last week, and so, instead of cooking, which is difficult, I treated myself to some comfort-food, take-away fish and chips. Just for me.
I am going to give myself a pedicure and paint my toenails bright red....
Signed up for a yoga course and fitness center pilates. My muscles are protesting but they´ll thank me in the end.
I sat on the couch and finished reading this great book, "Works of Heart, Building Village Through the Arts." I recommend it!
On Friday my husband and I drove round an hour looking for wood...to make a fire...to barbecue steak the way we used to do back home...I sat and watched the flames as each take on their own life...and meaning...remember home...our friends....and family...I made a fire for me today. xx
I am not doing anything of 'household value' today, no laundry, cleaning, cooking or bill paying. No duties. I'm going to stretch out on the couch, watch The Hours, and knit for the joy of knitting. I'm outta here.
Looks delicious!! I just cleaned my entire apartment and phew - does it feel good. Thanks for this Liz! I love how you get us all thinking and loving. You're the BEST! xoxo
I stayed away from the pile of work I thought I would get to today (which means that I'll double for tomorrow...but I don't care!) Instead I spent the day quilting! :)
yummy!
i booked next friday off work because next monday is a holiday here and i decided a four day weekend was much better than a three day weekend :) i am going to spend all day friday on a date with myself doing fun stuff just for me : ) *excitement
Well, I sat. And I thought long and hard about what I am about to paint/create. I have been thinking about this for 4 weeks now and feel as though it might actually happen this time. For real. We'll see.
I'm on my way to a tub full of warm water scented with rosemary bubbles, a hot mug of London Lady tea in one hand, David Whyte's "Crossing the Unknown Sea: Work as a Pilgrimmage of Identity" in the other.
