What do you do when you want YOU time?

[bk1]

Lately I'm realizing I don't do anything just for me anymore. It seems if I have any down time I spend it trying to get caught up on things around the house. I need some me time. Something fun, hobbies, whatever. I've been itching to get my sewing area cleaned up so I can work on that, but I also know I have a love/hate relationship with sewing.


So.... what do you like to do for you?

Some of my things:
1. Get a fancy coffee
2. Go for a drive.
3. Try a new recipe.
4. Long bubble bath with music, candles, and door locked!
5. Go out and browse at stores.
6. Crafting


Idea is maybe if I think of different ideas I'll get around and do something for me! DH has Friday off so I'm thinking maybe I'll leave G with him and try to get an hour or two out of the house by myself.

I find reading romance novels very relaxing. I also like to flip mindlessly through a magazine while sipping a cup of tea.

I usually craft. Or about once a month (not as often any more) I would go disc golfing with some girlfriends. If I'm super annoyed and need to remove my self immediately, I clip the dog and take her for a walk.

This is a good question, I feel I haven't had a lot of "me" time lately and it's a good reminder that it's important!

Some things I like to do...
Read books or magazines
Sit outside in the sun and just relax! (I wish I had a space here to do that)
Go shopping (would do this more if I had more money, ha!)
Go for a walk (usually with music on)
Listen to girly music I like but DH makes fun of

I'm lucky in that I feel like I get a lot of me/alone time since I don't work in the summer and get home a lot earlier than my H during the rest of the year. I'm a big fan of drinking coffee and reading or watching YouTube videos. I also love a good solo Starbucks/target trip.

I don't do these enough, but my list includes:

-scrapbooking
-painting my nails
-watching a chick flick in bed
-walking by myself somewhere, just to enjoy the quiet.
-getting myself a treat on days that are rough with M. Either a milkshake, coffee, or something.

I'm TERRIBLE at making time out for myself. I could probably count exercise....but I consider that training.

I MAKE myself sit down for at least 15-20 minutes right before bed to read my bible and a 1-2 articles in a magazine. Zoning out a teeeeensy bit each night helps me.

((hugs)) I feel you! Ever since C I never have time to myself...it's something that needs to change, sooner than later.

I like to:

-run

-shower without DH or C anywhere nearby

-coffee shop

-going for a walk

-reading

I have gift cards for Old Navy and the spa...I am going to use these in the near future, separately. I was going to go to ON today with C but DH insisted that I go without C so I will be more relaxed and have more fun. He also went and picked up my bathing suit for me on his lunch hour (it was the only urgent thing I needed there). He scored point today!

Hope you get out and have some me time soon!

[wanderingenough]

-Watch chickflicks or Lifetime movies
-Sit in a coffee shop and play on my phone
-Read (magazines or books)
-Wander through stores at my own pace (clothing, Michaels, bookstores, etc)

I like working out to decompress as well, but I don't generally do that alone
