It’s past midnight and here I am posting. Plus, my sister called and talked me into driving to the beach in the morning. I’ll explain later why I feel obliged. The appraiser is coming first thing Friday morning, and I really should work on the house all day tomorrow, but that makes the idea of a beach trip all the more fun. This is why I’m not going to bed yet. I just read a young woman’s list of her top-10, favorite things. You know, like the brand name of her favorite lotion or what she orders for tea. I always like reading that stuff in the magazines my kids leave around. So, I was thinking on the drive to and from the beach I would try to compile 10 of my special pleasures and maybe ask that you leave me a few of yours. As tomorrow is Valentines Day, maybe we should treat ourselves to one of those, no matter what anyone else might do for us. I typed that and was only slightly troubled that I was suggesting doing for ourselves and not others. I don’t have a guy I would call my Valentine so I’m loving myself this year. I think that’s okay.

massages, good gelato, new shoes or earrings, a bike ride, sex, a good book, green chai, firelight, unreasonably priced toiletries (organic girly soaps and lotions and things), vulnerable and intellectually stimulating conversation
Hopefully I can snag five of those tomorrow
that would be delightful!
Happy Valentines Day Pru!
I will be spending my Valentines day treating myself all day to what ever I desire. This evening Mr. Tucker and I will grab a movie and order take-out from one of my favorite restaurants and head for the bedroom to watch a romantic comedy while I have my special dinner with a glass of fruity wine all the while warmly curled up in comfy blankets. Well it is an improvement…Mr. T. though he is a dog…he is a he…>lol<
A few of my favorite things: The Mad Greek in Lawrence, KS, The Greek rosa wine Santa Helena; Greek men…Ok, any man as long as he is a good man; Head to Toe Spa days Pero, Opium oil from Greece. Large English bars of Caswell & Massey’s Lavender and wild flower soaps, Godiva Chocolate Liqueur in a cup of coffee with heavy cream, Bathtubs big enough for two, Desert Blends lotions, shampoos, body butter and creams. Bryers Ice Cream… Oh the list just goes on and on…but I will not.
Love and hugs to you this special day of the hearts.

Cake, any cake, so I bought myself cupcakes for Valentines!! Good Mexican food, the best is in New Mexico followed by what I make, however I love to eat Mexican food out since I didn’t have to make it. Shoes…gosh I have probably 50-75 pair and never hesitate to add to the collection. Comfy jean that don’t cut into my waist. Favorite brand right now is Style & Co. which is Macy’s brand, their stretch version with a tiny bit lower waist. Chocolate, mostly the dark but in a pinch milk chocolate will do. Coffee with heavy cream and a smidge of Xylitol to sweeten. These are some of my favorite things…OH, how can I forget…taking pictures! That’s my favorite thing period..
HAPPY VALENTINES TO YOU PRU…marilyn
Absolutely okay and happy V day to you for it. That list sounds good but I may have to save it for payday. I’ve been meaning to treat myself to something I actually need, but I keep running short of funds. Oh well, au natural isn’t so bad for the face for a while eh?
Tea. That will serve.
Happy Valentine’s Day. Friends are good for the soul. There are things only girlfriends can share and understand. I think it is great to love yourself.
