I got a day off tomorrow and I decided to have a good time with myself! So I am planning to wake up, get dressed up and go to my hairdresser to straighten my hair an make them look pretty. Then, I will go for shopping and buy a gift for myself :-) I've seen those cute earrings that I liked and I ve been thinking about buying them for days! I might have some coffee later and lunch with my brother who has visited us so I'd like to spend some time with him and share our news! Do you plan days for yourself when you get the chance? I don't get to do that very often but I really enjoy it!

No, I don't anymore since I stopped working. But I used to. It makes me happy to read about you going out, though. What a wonderful day you have planned! And lunch with your brother sounds very fun. The hairdresser and a present too? You really know how to treat yourself. Tomorrow will be a great fun day for you and I'm happy that you will be having a good time. It's even more enjoyable when you don't get to do it very often. I hope you have beautiful weather and a marvelous time!

Thanks, it was actually wonderful! I love planning days like this one, although I can't do it very often. Even if you don't work any more, you could also plan a day to do all the fun activities that you like. For example, go for a walk at the park or do a picnic with your family! Anything that's out of our daily routine can change our mood!

You're very sweet. But I have no family to speak of. My sister lives far from me and my brother has a witch for a wife.And he works a lot, he's busy,etc. :-/ My friends have all moved away or passed away. I spend most of my time on the computer trying to make whatever money I can. That's one reason I enjoy reading your posts. You're young and happy and you have a good life. I'm old and wondering what happened to the good life I used to have. But I'm not complaining. I have 3 cats who love me and an email friend and a few friends in mylot. And a good friend who I talk on the phone with every few weeks. I have a housemate but we don't talk much. He mostly stays in his part of the house. We've known each other for about 35 years. Don't feel bad. You make me happy reading about what you're doing and sometimes I can feel your excitement in the way you write. I'm glad you had such a good day. Always keep yourself happy.

Oh I am so happy you got a day off. Yes, I do plan also from time to time. I usually wanted schedule lunch or dinner with my friends -- they are all working so I must plan for them. Enjoy your day tomorrow and pamper yourself and regenerate more energy and happy thoughts.

Thanks! Having some personal time is good and we all need to have it some times. I enjoyed doing things that I like and walking around the city or buying a small gift for me! Meeting with friends is also great and if you have different hours and you're all busy then it needs good planning to manage to meet all together! I also like to go for dinner and spend time with friends, but this time I think I needed to have a day just for me! :)

there are times i plan for occasions such as this but i also find impromptu celebrations worth having. they sometimes give nice and unexpected results. i plan for the coming Christmas celebration though. this early, we plan to buy gifts for the little children in the family and for the godchildren.

I love buying gifts for people I love! In those celebration days, it is nice to give joy to children by buying them gifts and I also get something small for my friends as well! Thank you for your nice comment!

good day besweet, that is very good at least you are finding time to unwind. aside from that, you are also relieving stress out from your body. with me here, going to the salon and doing some shopping are my ways to relax plus having a cup of coffee to a coffee nook, wow that is wonderful.

Yes I am sure that tomorrow morning I will be full of energy! I really wanted to get a cup of coffee as well, but I had promised my brother to go forl lunch after my shopping and I did not go! To be honest, I enjoyed so much my morning coffee that I made at home that I didn't care very much about that. I sat in my balcony and had a cup of black coffee without any rush, and relaxed with the beautiful view. My morning coffee was always a perfect time for me to think and plan my day!

hey so nice. I love to get pamper and do something like spa and all. I hardly go these days. Things are become very expensive. I like straight hair too. Mine will be costing like $200 because it is waist length. I sure you will have fun tomorrow. It is really your day and I can see you have all prepared for it by the whole itenary. Have fun.. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day ahead.

Really? It's very expensive to get a hair treatment then! I paid $20 and I still thought it was expensive, but I didn't care because I wanted to spend some money for myself! I hope you'll plan to have your Day soon! Thanks for your comment!

That is it ! from hard work almost 12 hours a day , we need to treat ourselves , pamper , reward it for sweating out for the whole week. We always deserve to have a break , to unwind , to be efficient in our works or tasks. We need also to enjoy the fruits of our sacrifices . Go for that friend , have total make over , you greatly deserve it.

Haha, thanks! I did have a total makeover and I needed it so much! You should find some time off as well, 12 hrs a day is a lot and if it becomes a routine then we find ourselves in a place where we live to work. But the right thing is to work in order to be able to live better! I hope you'll get rewarded soon for your hard work!

Yes, lately I work a lot and this day was exactly what I needed. They say that when you have time, you don't have money. And when you have money, you don't have time! Right now I am trying to save some money and I work hard, but unfortunately I can't enjoy my daily life because as soon as I get home I don't have the courage to do anything. The work makes me feel exhausted most of the weekdays!

It is great that you have a day to yourself, and I always love it when I have the chance to do so. One of the things that I like to do is to have the television to myself because then I am able to watch a film or a series that I haven't had the chance to do for a long time. I also like to have plenty of cups of tea as I feel that this is something that relaxes me very well too. I don't get much chance to be on my own though because I live with my family and it is very rare that there is a time when they are all out of the house at the same time.

When it's our holiday at work and it falls on a weekday, I usually spend my day going window shopping or shopping. It's also seldom so my sister and I eat somewhere together and take some pictures, etc. LOL. Our next holiday is Christmas already. That's Tuesday. I hope I can go home with my family. I'll save money so that I can be with them on that day. Happy mylotting.

Shopping is a good therapy for women! Every time I go shopping I come back home with a different mood, suddenly I am happier and even though I spend my day outside, I don't feel tired at all! Family time is precious as well, so it sounds wonderful that you have already started planning your budget to spend your Christmas with your family!

I am happy to see that many people have some days off their work that they devote to themselves. I think it is nice to take a break every once in a while and take everything off your mind!

Awww, that sounds like fun! I could use a day like that soon. And yes, whenever I have the time and money, I always make sure to have a "me" day as well. We need it once in a while. You know, after the hard work and all the crap that we have to face at work, we deserve this.

I know, you are right! Even if I have the weekends off, I don't really enjoy my time because I am full of stress and I just want to stay at home and rest, away from the intense environment of my job. However, I enjoyed this day more than my free time during the weekends because I did some things for myself, and it was very different from my regular days! It was lovely, I hope you get to do that soon!

I do plan myself a day whenever I can. Same here, it's not very often, but when sometimes you just deserve it. And when I do it, I like to do just what I want to do, with no one else. No kids, no husband...just me. I like to go to the mall, a movie, take myself out to eat, get my nails done...whatever I feel like doing. I always feel refreshed after I do so. Have fun tomorrow! =)

Hello! Thank you, it was really fun! I bought those earrings and they look perfect! I enjoyed my day very much and now I am back home, relaxed and refreshed. I wish we could get more chances to do that more often!

That sounds like a great idea! You are lucky to have a beach near your place! I love the beach and it helps me relax but it's far from home and I need to take the car and drive for one hour to reach it.
