do one nice thing for myself every day

Yes. My nice thing to do for myself today was buy myself a ticket to Florence Italy…. Nice of me, wasn’t it?
Ha ha ha… I can’t wait to go…. another couple of months, but I’m seriously psyched…. I just couldn’t beat the deals that Northwest was givin’ out….
Doesn’t hurt that the amazing friend I’ve been hanging out with all summer is going to be living there for a few months and I can go and visit her for 10 days… WOO HOO!!
Anyway…. Had to share! :)

Connect back into 43things, and have a well deserved beer after a really long hard day serving crabby people. I love my new life here in Minnesota, but its been increasingly straining… I must say I haven’t encountered even a QUARTER of the drama I dealt with everyday in Boston. This makes me more than ecstatic, which is probably why I haven’t had the time to sign on to 43things in a very long time…. I apologize to all of the friends I haven’t spoken with in a long time….
When I initially started 43t I was in a very bad place and needed an outlet where I knew people could read what I had to say, but didn’t necessarily impact my daily life. Instead of being a random journal, it helped me do sooooo many things I never would have had I not had the support of all of you… THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

fresh mozzarella, tomato and basil sandwich and watched an amazing jazz guitarist out in the bright sunshine. It was a well deserved break from packing and such! I’m full and have a delightful batch of new freckles to show for my lovely afternoon! The only thing that could have made it better would have been sharing it with a certain dready boy I find to be quite the conversationalist and good-looking to boot! Maybe we can do that together tomorrow! :)

I decided to take it easy… I read some of my book, painted a little and ordered in this evening…
A little cheese cake was in order tonight, and that is my sweet treat for the day! But that is not the nice thing I am doing for myself today. I am allowing myself to stay in and be alone this evening… There are a bunch of people who have called to make plans this evening, and I’m just not up to it today. SO, instead of muddling through and going out for the sake of others, I am doing what I* want to do.

to a pot of my most favorite tea in the world. It’s far too expensive to drink every day, but it puts a smile on my face that is quite hard to remove!
I do many things for other people every day. I go out of my way to make their days amazing, and I just need to start treating myself the way I treat others.
It’s my turn!!
