NICE Assignment: Treat Yourself!

NICE Assignment
Is it Tuesday already? Oh how I love long weekends. Thanks for all of the kind words about the NY Times article! I'm still totally stoked!

On to business. So, I'm a day behind with my assignment this week, but I think you'll all like this one. You know, when I create each assignment, I do it selfishly. I think about what I personally want to do. How do I want to better myself? What do I want to encourage myself to do? And really, I just bring you all along for the ride. And this week, well, I just want to be nice to myself!

Today's Assignment: Treat Yourself

What good is being nice if you can't be nice to yourself? You're a great person, and you deserve a treat! Something you wouldn't normally allow yourself. A giant hot fudge sundae maybe? A really long midday nap. A few hours of trashy tv? Sometimes we need a little reward, and we can't always count on other people to provide it. But we CAN always count on ourselves. So go ahead. Do it. Whatever it is you've been wanting to do. You know, unless it's against the law or involves harming other people or animals. :)

As for me, I'm going for the sundae/nap/trashy tv trifecta. Oh, it's gonna be a GOOD day!

What a good idea. I think I'll visit my grandma today, she loves my visits and I love her company.

oneshotbeyond - I like the way you think!!

So far I haven't accomplished any of my treats, but I'm going for my nap right now. :) There's still plenty of time for sundaes and trash tv!

I would like to go for a nap, a little TV, and some time to just sit down with a glass of wine and overload myself with some good manicotti!

Great idea! Personally, although I hadn't read your blog until just now, I watched a Doris Day movie to treat myself this afternoon. Okay, I was folding laundry at the time, but still!

I also made my own pasta and sauce for dinner, which was pretty wicked good.
