Me first, I guess.

For the past two days, I have been deliberately sitting down at my diningroom table and working on a great jigsaw puzzle. (Thanks to LindaBC, my secret Santa on another website.)

I have my cup of herb tea, Harry is in charge of the dog and knows not to interrupt. This usually turns into a half hour but is worth it.

Next?

If my simple (and cheap) gift is helping your wrist healing process, then I'm very happy.
I have many, many 15 minutes of ME time just about every day. Lazy slug that I am, I usually spend them either working the big NY Times Saturday crossword puzzle, reading a book, playing Scrabble or Canasta on the computer or just vegging out. Some of our Chicks sure put me to shame in the energy and accomplishments categories.

coming here!

a bath sounds good but I'd need to scrub the tub and that is definitely not on the schedule!

I guess I'll go find a good book...

I am a found person. By this I mean I put myself first. I know that sounds selfish but that is a long story. I love me the most. I only do what I want, when I want . I have a wonderful family that I make this clear to. My bestest me time is my God time, is my computer time, oh I have so many.
I have friends that call me spoiled, but I deserve it, haha.

Aaahh, see this is the reason I am working on the wekends now--I get 12 hours of me time every single minute and get paid to do it! I read my books, do my crosswords, If I had a computer, I'd be playing Scrabble!

Until recently, I never really bothered......last week I took off for about 3 hours shopping....had poor hubby worried sick. I had never done that to him before. He made me take his cell phone the next night!
and.....Ive taken over the rocking chair any time in the rocking chair is me time. Its just so relaxing!

My "me" time took over this weekend. I do geneaology and I bought myself a new version of Family Tree Maker and spent 12 hours straight (minus potty breaks) on the computer tracking DH's family tree. I also worked on a tree for a friend. I'd work on my own tree, but my Mom's already done it all.
