Would you like cheese with that wine?

Pampering Oneself
Have you ever wanted to be real good to yourself? Was it this week? Did you follow through and pamper yourself? The answer is nearly invariably no. And the question I have to ask myself is, "why the heck not?"

I am not saying spending your retirement fund to go to the spa every other week. I just mean pampering yourself sometimes. I mean just taking the time to take a long bath full of wonderful fragrances, reading that book that you just don't have time for.

Now, I sort of wonder, however, if this is the right thing to discuss. I was part of the "me" generation. Or am I Generation X? I don't remember and really don't care. I do know that most of my generation were a little less interested in going into careers for the money (I am a prime example of this, but some would call this "setting one's sites too low."), but even so, people buy all kinds of stuff.

Pretty houses, lovely house, full of lovely stuff. Pretty houses, bigger houses, to hold all of our stuff.

I mean, people are buying all this stuff, but I wonder if they are enjoying their possessions. Or, actually, I wonder if possessions are supposed to be enjoyed.

Today, I want to pamper myself. What to do? I am not sure, but a bath would be nice.

Back to Work
I sometimes don't like coming back to work after a holiday. It is like cramming five days of work into four days. It is exactly like that. Personally, I would like a stamp called, "Not enough time to do request. I was on vacation."

I am just wondering if purchasing such a stamp would be pampering. The object (stamp) would not itself pamper. It is getting out of the work that would be pampering.
