    Yeah for me time
    RE, what a wonderful idea. I LOVE that. I definitely need some, um, maintenance myself. My face could use a good pair of tweezers and legs could use a nice lady's shick razor. You relax in that wonderful lavendar bath of yours. You will be glowing and refreshed!

    Wonderful!!
    Oh my gosh I am soooo cracking up over the facial hair stuff... I thought I was the only one with that issue!!! I made my Daughter and my BFF promise me that if I was ever in a coma that they make sure I wasn't grossing everyone out with those stupid unsightly facial hairs!!! LOL...

    Re... maybe your husband is going to love coming home to his Woman being all pampered and relaxed!!!Sounds like it could be a special night wink..wink... hope you have a wonderful enjoyable night...

    ME TIME
    I am glad you took some time for yourself, painted toes nails always make me feel sexy!! Red, on yeah, now we're talking! hehehe

    Facial hair .. tell me it's not true .. after chemo, right ? Should I invest in a 100X magnifing mirror, and good pair tweezers? What's next ?? Losing your hair (hehehehe).

    I have forgotten to take care of myself (me time) since receiving my bc diagnosis last Friday, 8/14 .. WOW, it's been 1 week since my world been turned upside down.

    Still in my PJ's and it's 2:52 p.m. in CA.

    Me Time
    My "Me Time" is first thing in the morning--getting on the computer while wash in the washer and dryer before I get Jake up and I go to work.

    I need a massage and will do that soon--that will really be my "Me Time"

    Margo

    Your husband is going to fall in love with you all over again!!

    GOOD FOR YOU!! HURRAY FOR "ME" TIME!
    We all need it! I never realized how important ME time was until the cancer was diagnosed. Since then, I have become totally self-indulgent. I've had 2 pedicures since July 18th. Before that, I'd had only two in my entire life [I'm 67]. I just want to be pampered now.

    I grab some me time every day..usually at the computer, visiting here with my new friends.

    Facial hair....you "girls" are still young... wait till you get my age and they start coming in like cactus needles! While there's only a couple like that, they are in the most conspicuous places. One pokes straight out of my chin, and if I don't keep it tweezed it waggles up and down when I talk! Maybe no one else even notices, but I know it's there.

    Glad you're having a ME day.
    Glad you're having a ME day. My physical role model is Mrs. Santa Claus.

    My ME time is writing to this message board. Since I want to look like Mrs. Santa Claus, I don't have to do much except laugh a lot. I'm still waiting for my hair to go gray.
