My favorite way to pamper myself is to go and get a good book and take a really looooong bath. When we built our home I had a really large soaking tub put in and I absolutely love it!!!!

The most expensive thing that I've done for just me..........hmmmmmmmm. Well, I scrapbook and recently I bought myself an expensive little gadget that cuts out the letters for me. I'm going to have to use it alot to ever get my money's worth out of it.

I've also taken trips to Canton, Texas, to the flea market. It's a time I get to shop for what I love---Antiques and a chance to see some family. When I go by myself the gas is really expensive but my husband knows how much I love to go.

And I recently bought myself a metal detector. I've always wanted one and my husband always poo-pooed the idea. I found one that had really good reviews on it and is easy for beginners and was not too expensive. So far I haven't found anything too much, except for a screw that held my lawn mower together, that I had to have to finish mowing the yard!!!! Yeah!! My most important find!!!!!

The best thing that I've ever done for myself, is to become independent. I used to always wait until my husband would go with me to go shopping (out of town) or to spend the weekend somewhere. He's a real homebody and being self-employed it's just plain hard for him to want to get away. I have several aunts that I'm really close to and so I take weekends and run down and stay with them. We have a blast and I come home refreshed. I'm also known to take off and drive 100 miles and spend the day shopping or going to flea markets by myself. I just don't like eating by myself.

I love to take a nice bath and get into freshly clean sheets and sleep.

What's the most expensive thing you've ever done just for you?
I don't have any idea what that would be, unless buy my Yorkies.

What's the best thing you've ever done for yourself?
I don't think I really do anything for myself...hopefully it will be my spa day soon.

What's your favorite way to pamper yourself? Well, with three small kids and babysitting two more, getting to take a shower every morning is definitely at the top!
What's the most expensive thing you've ever done just for you? I have expensive taste in dogs, so my four legged babies are definitely the most expensive.
What's the best thing you've ever done for yourself? Getting married and having children. Does that count??

Favorite way of pampering myself: Going to my cosmetologist for wrinkle filler shots
(not botox!) It's like restylane and I love it.

The most expensive thing I've done just for me: my teeth

The best thing I've ever done for myself: Stopped smoking about 15 years ago, got rid of hubby #2, got Max, retired...and on and on and on.

1. Get a pint of Ben and Jerry's ice cream, rent a couple of movies - then take a half day off of work and snuggle up with the dogs - eating ice cream and watching movies.

2. Season tickets to the Patriots - my cousin also did this, we went to all the games together. Had to give up the tickets when they moved to the new stadium - the cost went up to high.

3. I think marrying Jim was the best thing I've ever done for myself - my life is so much better with him in it.

I like to pamper myself by getting manicures and pedicures it feels so good..


Most expensive thing.. Like Judy my teeth, I also treated myself to luxury bags.

The best thing I ever done for myself was to become independent and got my license in real estate..

1. Definitely getting a 1 hr massage
2. Most expensive - my Harley Davidson Fatboy, next would be my Yorkie Zoe, she's a tiny and was pretty pricey (Never dreamed I'd pay that much for a dog.:o)
3. Became a Christian, only that wasn't for me, it was to be obedient to our God and Father.

The first thing I did was buy Diesel and the second thing I did was to have my nails done.

Great post Tink!

My favorite way to pamper myself is to lay around and read a good book in my pj's all day!

Most expensive thing I've done for myself was when I had to go on a business trip to Utah. I have friends out there and I went to college out there, so I extended my stay by a week and spent it meeting with old friends, sight seeing and spending money on anything I wanted!

The best thing I've ever done for myself is get Tucker. He is my joy! And he doesn't talk back to me, like my kids lol

A long bath with tons of candles, a new bubble bar, a good book and a glass of wine.

Hmmm... okay, my boobs.:blush:

What's the best thing you've ever done for yourself?
I was going to say becoming a vegetarian but then I read Dobie's post about her husband and I want to copy her's.:p Marrying Troy was definitely the best thing I've ever done for myself.

Wow... I am right with you on #1. B&Js ice cream and a 1/2 day off work for some puppy loving! :) aaahhh soooo with you!

What's the most expensive thing you've ever done just for you?
Well I guess I'd have to say, buying my own townhouse. I sold the house I owned with my exfiance and instead of renting or moving in with someone else, I decided to carry myself and bought my own townhouse. A nice one! 1500 sq ft of all me and mine! Only one downfall, I can't imagine not living there! Making it hard for me to commit to move in with my bf who owns a house on his own land and garage and inground pool and all that jazz!

What's the best thing you've ever done for yourself?
You would think the house, but nope... its a toss up... either cancelling my wedding with the wrong man I wasted 10 years with, or buying my 2 yorkies!
