The last time you took some time for yourself, what did you do?”

I just got a haircut, but I dont consider that time to myself- really.
I actually called in sick to work in DEC and while the kids were in daycare and hubby was at work, I had the whole house to myself! I watched daytime tv, read magazines, took a long shower, and organized a few of MY things. I worked out, chatted on the phone with friends and shopped online.
GREAT DAY OVER ALL!

It's been so long, I don't know what I did or when! I'm taking this as a reminder to schedule some "me" time ASAP...

I'm depressed just thinking about this question. A couple of weeks ago, we tried to go out on a double-date with another couple. We've had trouble with babysitters and my mom happened to be in town, so we were so eager to take advantage of the situation. But it ended up snowing and our friends cancelled. Then last wknd, I had invited friends over for dinner. They cancelled due to illness. The next night, I was going to meet a friend for coffee/dessert at a restaurant. She cancelled b/c her husband ended up working late. I can't friggin WIN at this game!! Aaargh!! - Paula.

I went to a hotel, read my favorite books, watched the election coverage while relaxing in a wonderfully big jacuzzi, ordered chinese food all for myself, wrote more for my book without interruption...and most importantly - I stretched out in the King size bed by myself and LISTENED INTENSELY TO THE QUIET ALL AROUND ME!!! (and loved every minute until it was all over)

I went to the salon and paid WAY too much for a haircut. :)

i think it depends on the definition of 'time for yourself' if it's just time alone - then i went shopping, cleaned, and stopped at starbucks! alone! time specifically to pamper myself? i got my hair cut :) but that was about 2 months ago now i think... perhaps i need another session in 'time to myself' LOL

I was in Florida recently and went to the beach alone for 1 hr, walked alone, and had a nice little lunch by myself. Mom watched the baby and my son was in camp.

I got a full head of hair extensions and a rose petal pedicure! Decadence at it's best. When I got back home from that event, I steamed crab legs for the family and helped my 3 year old enjoy them. Tasted a glass of my current find Santa Margharita Pinot Grigiot and read a few pages of the Four Agreements. Meditated on what I learned, and slept until the next morning.
