a ME weekend

clfatheree · 02-26-2006, 04:22 PM

Well since I normally travel every weekend I decided this weekend since it was a free weekend to do my own little ME weekend. First I slept in saturday which was kinda easy since it was storming rain outside.

Around 9:00 I got up and did my new bigest loser video.

Then at 10:30 I headed to the gym NOT for weights this time but I hit the dry sauna first then did 4 laps in the pool with a kick board then back in the dry sauna and then into the hot tub. From there I went for a bit in the steam room that they do the steam with euculpis (smell great and will really open your sinsus. A nice long shower and then I headed back home.

a bit later I headed to the theater and saw 8 below (I am a big dog person) and after a good cry (it was a good ending but still made me cry) ..

I went shopping at target and decided to stop in at the nail place beside it and treated myself to a manicure and got my eyebrows waxed. then home for a good nights sleep.

Sunday morning I took 2 of my dogs herding and then came home changed and was off to the gym again this time for my "fitness evaluation" I didn't stay to workout as sunday is usually my day off. I left the gym and headed to the mall and had the lady do my face with the Bare essentials, and I bought the starter kit.

I am back home now and although I have some real life work to do about 30 minutes worth it has been a GREAT fun and relaxing weekend. I need more weekends like this.

What do you do for a ME weekend?

I have three boys age 11 and under so there are no ME weekends but yours sounds like paradise to me. Shopping and a manicure would be a perfect treat right now.

I'm flying to FL for one day next Friday, does that count as self indulgent enough?

Actually, last w/e I got my first manicure in over a year and got my BE starter kit too. Had fun playing with it while I was dodging the flying puppy attacks. (He turned 6 mo yesterday, dang hyper retirevers!

)

what type of retriever? golden or lab?

Mine are Border collies so I do understand the "hyper" side of dogs!

FL for 1 day absolutely a self indulgent behavior!

What's absolutely insane is that as I was reading your post, I visualized a specific Target with a nail shop near by. This is BEFORE I looked to see where you were located. And I visualized the Target on I-45 and Cypresswood in Spring/Houston. Then I looked to see where you were. And then I saw you were in Tomball! Is that, by any chance, where you went? If so, FREAKY.

I got soooo confused reading your post waiting to hear about the meat and eggs. That's what I thought you meant...a M/E weekend

Chessie actually. He's probably 60 lbs

and wayyy to smart for his own good!

Yep, you got some hyper ones there. At least I have hope that Gander'll settle into the old lazy retriever phase in a few years

I love him to death, but there are days.... 60 lbs of puppy flying right for your knees is not a good thing!

How ironic. But no it was the Target here in tomball on 2920 and 249. I actually don't venture past 249 to the east very often unless I am heading to dallas.

But it is such a small world!!!

as much as I really don't like veggies I have grown to enjoy my salads and of course cheese. I would have a hard time doing a M/E day let alone a whole weekend!!

oh but puppies are so much fun!

get a good frisbee or bumper and get your upper body workout throwing for him!

chessie are cool dogs! BIG but cool!

Chasintrail · 02-26-2006, 08:16 PM

We've got plenty of bumpers and tennis balls and rocks and sticks and...

I can't wait until it gets warm enough to take him swimming. Water retrievals!

I was laughing the other day, if I make my ultimate goal (130) and he gets as big as I think he will (120ish). The dang dog is going to come close to outweighing me!

He's already figured out if he lays on me that I can't get up

I'm in trouble!

Goldie_Locks_5 · 02-27-2006, 06:17 AM

lol- the whole time i'm reading your post i was thinking you meant that you were doing an M&E weekend... meat & eggs... and i was like, "when is she going to get to the food part and how much she lost??"... duh.

sounds like a nice weekend for you!

A me weekend for me ususally consists of a mani/pedi, a little shopping, lounging on the couch with DH, church on sunday always, taking the dog to the park, etc.... in other words- no laundry, no house projects, no having to visit anyone, not having to do any work.

i need a me weekend soon!
