GTKY: Your escape

ALP514

When you've had a bad day at work, or the baby is teething and cranky or your husband is on your last nerve ; What do you do to escape and get a little "me time"?

I love grabbing a glass a wine and watching re-runs of Criminal Mind or Law and Order SVU. With each gulp I am in heaven...

Read, bubble bath, my favorite show, or exercise.

A bowl of ice cream and the Real Housewives or online shopping.

My escape had always been horses! Wether riding or just spending time with them. They are just good for your soul! If that isn't an option though a bubble bath come in a close second!

Bubble bath, read, watch a show, or craft.

I generally workout. It always makes me feel better. If not then a glass of wine also works ;;)

I go do a workout DVD. Sometimes if the weather is nice ill go uptown and get groceries and a coffee at Starbucks the alone time feels so good.

What discipline do you ride? I'm a mega horse nut. Hence the avatar. That is also my escape in the summer time too.

Glass of wine or a catnap.

Generally food shopping but what I would love is a spa day (the full shebang as well).

 That is pretty much my escape lately. I either have DH or my mom watch LO for half an hour and I go do my chores but sometimes I just take an extra five mins to stroke my first 4 legged little man's nose and mane.  He seems to like it. I am hoping to get some riding time in this summer since I was to scared to while I was preg and after having a C-section I didn't do much bouncing this summer.

My me time is: morning coffee- tea in afternoon maybe a little reading, watching vampire diaries in bed, and an occasional glass of wine and cigarette ( I know flame worthy.)
Pre-lo yoga and meditation was a part of my daily life but I fell out of the routine of it- I need to motivate and start up again.
Love that some of you ride horses- sounds so wonderful.

Totally jealous of those of you with horses. I had them growing up. We had Arabians and Quarter Horses and I rode Western, Hunt Seat, Dressage and Saddleseat. Thanks for the trip down memory lane

Now, in the 2seconds of freetime I have, I enjoy a cup of coffee or some other warm drink, and pick up my kindle That or surf the net.
