My me time? WOW. Well, since I’ve lived alone for a total of almost 5 years…maybe more? I like being alone obviously and my list is long….
-My number one: listening to music
-I do actually love to work out, but I still don’t have another gym membership yet,four months now and counting….:o(;I am in my own little world at the gym with my headphones on
-draw or paint…I try my best to do at least a little bit every few weeks, even though I want to and should do more;art is my escape!
-I write letters/cards to friends, far away or not and burn c.d.s for them;it’s me time because I do it somewhere fun or with a cup of coffee at my kitchen table
-fashion magazines and bubble baths….or fashion magazines and my bed!
-movies in my pjs
-writing in my journal
-organizing my apartment(any part of it); I love to do it and I love how organized everything is when I’m finished;something can always be MORE organized or given away because it’s never used!:o)
-oh how can I forget? the overly indulgent, mani and pedi at the same time! that’s amazingly relaxing too, and you look fabulous afterwards!:o)

I think I am the first one to post this, but in my “me” time I knit!! There is something so therapeutic about the repitition, the feeling of the yarn, and completing a beautiful project that I can give to someone else to enjoy. I recommend it to all!
p.s. I am new to your blog, and have enjoyed catching up on all of your insightful posts!

Yoga! I also love all the guilty pleasures mentioned here like reading trashy magazines, watching TV, listen to music, read blogs etc. But yoga is the one thing I do for myself that actually makes me healthier. I do it for the physically workout so I’m not into the “breathing” types of yoga, I want to sweat… but I do find that I feel spiritually better and lighter after a class is over. It cheers me up every time without fail if I’m in a bad mood. I also like to bake.

I’d like to paint again too (not that I am any good, but it’s fun). I think I just need a kick in the pants to get me started.

Thank you for reminding me how important down time is! I often forget about giving myself any time. It reminds of that song by Kenny Chesney “don’t blink”.

My me time is spent, well… with me In a long bath, reading or relaxing. Sometimes I try to just sit with a quiet mind and that lasts about 3 min.

Oh are you reading Wicked? I’m in the middle of it (and really want/need to finish it!).

But besides reading, I like to curl up and watch a movie or label photos or paint my nails or listen to music or dance. Or all of the above at the same time, haha. I love Me time.

I curl up on the couch with my husband and watch a movie. If it’s just me, I’ll watch trashy TV and give myself a pedi. Sometimes I read, but not lately.
