I buy myself some sugary coffe thingy and buy a CD. Go see a chic flic by myself.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05811548306583601019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7916782536472572714.post-56490177662792893212008-10-29T17:39:00.000-04:002008-10-29T17:39:00.000-04:00Here I am.

Hot milk or hot chocolate (w/a little shot of something grown-up thrown in) on the couch in my jammies with my foot bath and my pets and reality television and a decorating magazine to read during the commercials.Traceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08015920394106992361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7916782536472572714.post-66193990650279766292008-10-29T14:41:00.000-04:002008-10-29T14:41:00.000-04:00Trashy TV is at the top of the list, as are pedicu...Trashy TV is at the top of the list, as are pedicures and massages.Kristina P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16144488639100871226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7916782536472572714.post-33722204607853241512008-10-29T13:32:00.000-04:002008-10-29T13:32:00.000-04:00My top 5:1.

I ...Rock of Love's charm school is on my list, too! I also LOVE Man vs. Wild because Bear Grylls ALWAYS takes all his clothes off (they blur out the ugly parts of him, of course). Other than that, I don't watch TV (not neccessarily by choice). But I do LOVE Netflix. Because you don't have to follow a schedule and if you have a bad week you don't have to feel pressured. I also have my crafts with me CONSTANTLY. (quilting, cross-stitching, scrapbooking)<BR/><BR/>I haven't been out of the house on my own, not counting grocery shopping, in maybe a year so I have to make do with my little lunatics running around while I "destress". Which I am sure you can relate to :) <BR/><BR/>What do YOU do, Lisa? Inquiring minds would like to know...Torinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00992090842674056507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7916782536472572714.post-53800947531302030502008-10-29T12:05:00.000-04:002008-10-29T12:05:00.000-04:00After the kids go to bed I watch trash television ...After the kids go to bed I watch trash television (Rock of Love's charm school, Wife Swap, My Name is Ed). I take long, hot baths with a mask on - I read trashy, funny romance novels during these baths and "air dry" after so I can continue reading. I blog and read blogs. Some shopping therapy, but most of the time I have to bring my kids along which defeats the purpose. Lately I've been getting a lot of pressure to spend more time with the kids (who don't actually want Mom there) so I've been sewing Christmas stockings while I watch TV/movies with them (keeps my hands busy, but I'm available if they want me). Do the crossword online with Hubby. Read adoption support message boards and list-serves. The main thing I don't do that I should is get enough sleep!<BR/><BR/>Mary in Texasmarythemomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08205319256573120866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7916782536472572714.post-43242739342389286572008-10-29T11:51:00.000-04:002008-10-29T11:51:00.000-04:00Shopping is always good for me. lol.

Sometimes just swinging by the local coffee shop for a good latte can make me feel good. The best, of course, is a massage! But that always takes planning and scheduling. hope you find something good for you!~Dinahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07473448768301577048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7916782536472572714.post-23381931345625239292008-10-29T10:49:00.000-04:002008-10-29T10:49:00.000-04:00I like to get pedicures.

I also try to go to lunch with a group of friends once a month.Jillenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04701640875749819676noreply@blogger.com
