very nice list Dotsie...You deserve all of those treats and more!!!

I'm going out to have dinner with 2 of my closest friends tonight. We talk all the time, but the 3 of us haven't been together in quite a while.

This counts as pampering, right?

Yes, it counts!! Saturday I went to brunch with my daughter, her friend and a friend of mine. It was great. We are going to try to do it on a regular basis.

I wish my daughter were living close enough to go out to lunch with.

My friends and I plan to do something together once a month from now on. We kept telling each other, "We need to do this." A couple of weeks ago, I pushed the issue, and now we are. Dinner works better than lunch because the other 2 ladies have jobs now.

I am blessed to have my kids all near me.
You definitely have to just pick a date and go from there. You can always change it but at least it's more of a solid plan.

Ran across... New Testament tapes read by James Earl Jones...I just adore the sound of his voice...would you believe he had a stuttering problem as a child?
Anyways, it's his voice I fall asleep to nightly. Many times, upon arising I'll rewind and listen to the previous night's tape, that way I'm able to put thoughts, questions, look-up's into my journal.

Last time I was overly pampered....was when my daughter and I headed over to Ambiance Spa...I had the hot rock massage. Time to do that again for sure.

Found a fantastic man who is a master designer and colorist, so I have been having my hair colored and cut regularly. Best part is...he's just around the corner. Just love my new spikes.


Weekends...hubby and I share a walk around the neighborhood and dinner out.

I am being pampered all week this week. I have that Flu that makes you feel like you were hit by a Mac truck...and then run over.
I have today off and slept most of the morning.
MOH has been giving me shoulder massages and whispering sweet "wish you felt betters" in my ear. We cancelled our dinner date yesterday and I spent the evening on the couch to be close to him. He bought me some butter pecan comfort ice-cream and I am chickened souped up. I got some nice perfume for Valentine's day. I'm glad I bought his Ferrerro Roche chocolates ahead of time. We shared them and a quiet evening together.

Geez...thought for a minute there...that you were holding out Chatty...and not telling us about that new man in your life.

Then, I read it's Chick who isn't feeling well...what is MOH?

Chick with treatment like that you'll be better in no time.

Hope your feeling better real soon!

I must've had Chatty on my mind from reading another post.

How are you today Chick?

MOH = my other half. Thanks for the get well wishes. Getting better by the hour. Hope you all stay flu free.
