What have you done for yourself today?
 

Love "rinse and repeat" !


I brushed my teeth.

GREAT Thread Idea, Ms. Hollylane!
 

Today I spent time with the fur kids playing ball before it got to hot to be out,then I gave them a bath and dryed them real good...then Itook me a long cool shower and a nap with my clean fur kids on the bed.

swam for 2 hrs non stop .. now kicking back to some santana ~~

gesso
 

I took myself to the store, and instead of spending every extra cent of my paycheck on fun stuff for the baby, and things for other people, I saved out twenty just for me... and bought myself gesso, and some other things that I have been needing for a long time but doing without. I felt guilty all the way through the cash register, but my artwork will thank me.

Love this thread idea :)

I'm another who tends to do a lot for others and leave myself off the list...

Today, I ate fish (which was fried...not the healthiest way, but a start), because I'm trying to eat more of it.

I also bought myself a really lovely soft green mid-calf length dress with floral detailing up one leg. All of my clothes are now far too big and shapeless....it's nice to get myself something pretty that fits! :)

I took about a 30 minute nap this afternoon and it was refreshing.

I so stole the last :chocolate: in the fridge and so ate it all for myself lol..... :blink:

I decided to skip tonights queer femme cabaret, "Femmetasia." Instead, I chose to stay home, relax, unwind, and go to bed early. after I decided to stay home, I found out there's a second show tomorrow evening. score!

I bought 4 new bras and 3 new panties.. I don't like spending money on them, but they were on clearance, and I needed some! :)

I did my laundry and bought groceries ... does that count?

I cooked myself dinner - right now I am enjoying a glass of milk and a can of no beans chili with vidalia onion.

I took a break.
I stood up for myself (against a previous coworker) .
I stood my ground.
I was assertive and behaved like the leader I am. (Assertive took me years to learn)
I walked away with confidence and self worth.
I took another break...
I treated myself to a small bowl of ice cream.

Sat on the back porch at my Dad's place (actually, laid back on one of those newfangled recliner style lawn chairs) and just took in the beautiful bug-free weather on a starry night with no thought of lengthy "to do" list intruding on relaxation... paradise!

:thumbsup:

Hell yeah, it counts...I scrubbed my house and did laundry. Took a shower and am now hangin' on the Planet.

It counts!

I've been telling a few friends here on bfp that I want to start doing things for myself - things I've wanted to do for a while and not to think of them as "treats" but things for me ... don't know if that makes sense.

Anyway, tonight I stopped at a small music studio, spoke to the owner and have booked myself in for singing lessons. I've wanted to do this for the longest and now I'm going to do it!

Yeah me!

Hmmmm....well,
 

I've allowed myself some substantial Planet time today, which I don't usually do or have time for. Kinda glad I did.

Fresh bed linens and a duvet hot from the dryer ... and with any luck ten hours of sleep.



/rough day.

Today.....nothing...but tomorrow I'm going shopping with my mom and maybe get a hair cut.....its much needed...side bangs gone wild :|

Got 2 pairs of shoes that I loveeed and a pretty top.....and had a much needed quiet day with my honey bear..... <3

i finally got the hair cut ive been needing.....nothing makes a girl feel quite so brand new as a good hair cut.....

cant wait to c it baby

A special trip to the lake to catch the sunset over the water...
a nice walk on the lake-side beach, water glass still and peaceful

I wish I didn't think of "doing for myself" as a treat, to be squeezed in after everything and everyone else, but as something integrated into my life, like breathing. In fact, many times we don't even breathe properly.

Anyway, today was two consecutive trips to the gym (which I prefer to the small exercise room at my complex), and now I'm YouTubeing my music and messing around on the Planet :).

I went shopping and bought some cool fishing shirts that not only are vented to keep a person cool, they have a SPF 50 rating too; I also bought a couple of pairs of cargo shorts and a pair of Lee Reserve shorts.

I did laundry for myself today, and cooked a good dinner. Then I cut up some old cotton boxers into small squares to make char cloth with and watched bush-crafting episodes on youtube. Fun for me, but not for everyone I'm sure. lol

I cooked myself a nice meal, finished going through a spare room, I ran the ultimate bubble bath, did some self care rituals for my emotional well being and I tried to meditate again with some introductory yoga. I still need to get the hang of that.

Namaste

I got dressed up for ME and went out to enjoy music and fine dining, despite having worked a lot this week and having almost no time to spend on myself to get ready.
