Just as a reminder, I've decided to use Monday as a whining day, but in a more constructive way. Basically, last week I posted, Started 2010 with My Head Spinning, and whined that I just can't seem to "get with it" this year. As a way to help myself, "get with it," I'm blogging about things I'm doing to leave the whining behind.

Every year, the holidays get a little too domestic for me, because I absolutely love decorating and cooking and baking and playing hostess. And by the end of it all, I'm a total zombie. As of last week, I realized I'm having a hard time pulling out of my zombie state. So, when it came time to choose an area of my life that needed a pick me up, the choice was easy. I added woman back into the mix.
I invited a friend over for lunch, who also happens to be a Mary Kay lady, and we played with makeup. How much fun was that!! She gave me gobs of samples that I tried all week long. I have to admit, I had gotten a little lazy about making myself beautiful every day. What a difference in feeling, going through each day looking your best. So THANKS to Kristin Henning for reminding me to put some effort back into appearance.
Also gave myself a pedicure rather than going out for one. There's something really rewarding about doing it yourself. I always feel I do a better job anyways. Oops, there's that perfectionist in me, rearing its ugly head.
Best of all, I planned a sexy night in with Michael. I won't fill you in on the details, but I will say it more than made up for all the $$$ spent on Mary Kay cosmetics. ;-)
All in all, it was a great week of reminding myself that fulfilling womanly desires can easily wipe away the pressures of writing.
