1.) I love to light some candles and take a nice hot jacuzzi bath
2.) Wearing PJ's or Jogging Outfit around the house.
3.)Kicking out the recliner and reading a good book
4.)Sipping Coffee on the patio listening to the birds chirp
5.) Drinking chocolate flavored coffee at night(non-caffeine of course
6.) Playing Cards or Scrabble
7.) Getting on the floor and playing with my little westie--she's a cutie so full of enegry
8.)Watching Tv in bed

Lie on the couch under a nice warm blanket (I steal my son's fleece Sponge Bob blanket!) and watch a movie with a nice warm cup of decaf or coffee. I do this every Monday afternoon before the kids come home from school. Aah.

Gosh..you all are so lucky!
I'm a stay at home grandma, raising a four year old and I never have any time to myself!
If I actually did..I'd probably lay back in my recliner and take a nap!

I like to light a Yankee Candle. My favorite scents are the earthy ones - Lavender and Sage & Citrus. I also love it when it is raining and I can just lie in bed underneath the covers and listen to the rain on the roof.

Another thing I like to do to relax is get a pedicure. I guess that one's not so simple though.

People don't believe me but to relax I plop my laptop on my lap and surf the 'net. I work on computers and computer related issues all day and folks can't believe that I'd want to get back online when I get home, but I do! Maybe that's why I spend so much time here???

My bathroom is my oasis....

I take a nice long hot shower, then jump out wrap my hair up and run over to the jacuzzi tub for a nice long soak there too. Candles, music, magazines, books, TV. It's all there for whatever I need.

If I need a little pampering, that's the room I head for.
I even lock the dog out sometimes!

Another vote for the jaccuzi tub. I plan to get there as soon as DD is down for her nap... that will be after this carrot cake comes out of the oven to cool.

I enjoy reading while in the tub.

I am a retired, single grandma, raising my granddaughter. I've had her since she was 3 yo. She's 6 now (will be 7 in March) and goes to school.

My best relaxing time is just after she gets on the school bus. I usually crawl back into my nice warm waterbed and watch tv and snooze.
I also enjoy the quiet time after she goes to bed at night.

9am every weekday morning...I eat my breakfast (bowl of oatmeal) and watch Little House on the Halmark channel.....THEN again at 2pm I watch Little Huose again with usually a cup of coffee or tea
I work at home, these are the 2 hours I set aside to relax.....Sometimes I do work through my break.....always make sure I have one though!!

Hmmm.... usually it's taking a nice long bubble bath, reading a book, and drinking a glass of wine. Then I'll put on my pjs and watch old movies in bed. I have an addiction for really nice sheets, so anytime in my bed is pretty relaxing!

I also looooovvvve to read. Such a great escape from reality. My other favorite is to sit by my fire place in my comfy chair and crochet. There is something relaxing about the repetitive stitches. I must have made 40 blankets this year just crocheting in the evening while watching a good movie.
