from the RevGals:
- Sleep. All varieties, especially:
crawling into bed after an all-nighter, knowing you can sleep as long as you want because you’ve earned it;
getting up for breakfast, then feeling lazy and going right back to bed;
flannel sheets on a cold night;
and napping in a big cushiony chair with a baby on your chest.
Sleep is in my top 5 favorite leisure activities. No joke. - Spa pedicures. The warm water and bubbles, the paraffin wrap, and sassy toenail polish.
- Sweets. Here are just a few of my favorites:
maple frosted donuts (thanks for the reminder mibi);
Dove milk chocolate and/or white chocolate—no dark chocolate for me… health benefits? no thanks, give me the creamy stuff;
and I’m sheepish to admit it, but I have been known to eat canned icing by the spoonful. - Browsing through the drug store. It’s just the right size so as not to get overwhelmed, and what a blessed assortment of cheap and random useful and useless crap all in one place. The adult contemporary muzak is integral to the gestalt of the experience.
- Traveling. It doesn’t even matter where.
What are yours?

I posted mine on my site, but your mention of canned icing (Yum, by the way!) made me think of the time I ate a can of cherry pie filling. I had to go to the store and get another one for the pie. Good times…..
Sue, even though I’m not a fan of cherry–you’re my kind of gal.
