Of Guilty Pleasures: Self Pampering Stories

2009-05-12T20:51:00.000-07:00

Fun Monday for May 18, 2009 will be hosted by yours truly, Mariposa!

In the midst of the busyness of our lives we tend to get overwhelmed by it that we forget ourselves. Most of us are inclined to look out for others first, yet we deserve to look for ourselves as much or even more. I believe we do!

In fact we all need to learn to pamper ourselves and not just in times when we are stressed.

So for next week, let us share each other's self pampering stories...may they be from little pleasures to guilty pleasures!

Visit my Fun Monday Sign Up page...

Gardening Thoughts

2009-05-10T08:02:00.000-07:00

It's been awhile since I last updated this one...will try to make use of this site though from now on!

Fun Monday for May 11, 2009 will be hosted by Faye of Summit Musings...

She set the following challenge --

"...as your host for the upcoming Fun Monday, I'm asking you to think about gardening. Do you consider yourself a gardener? Or, just the lawn keeper? When you think of your home, is it important that there are growing and flowering plants in your home landscape? Regardless of where you live--from a city apartment to a farm--do you need to grow something, even if it's a pot of geraniums on the patio? Do you grow your own food or have childhood memories of helping parents or grandparents grow a vegetable garden? Do you look forward to Saturday morning expeditions to local farmer's markets to buy the first strawberries or asparagus of the season and talk with the local farmers? Are there public gardens that you love to visit? What do you learn from them? Do you think it's important to teach your children and grandchldren about growing beautiful vegetables and flowers?"

St. Paddy's Day Fun Monday

2008-03-16T20:54:00.000-07:00

This week's host is Nikki!

And her Fun Monday theme are the following;

1.) I don't know about you, but my family is great at creating strange words that only we know the meaning. Some were created when the kids were first learning to talk, others came about when our tongues were twisted and the word came out funny. Either way, the words stuck and we still use them in our daily conversations. What created words does your family use?! Please share the story behind the word if you remember. If you don't have a made up word then tell us about the unspoken way you communicate with someone. Do you and your significant other have a look that means "This party is boring, lets split" or do you have a look that your kids know means their butt is in serious trouble? Please share!! And a picture of the look would be very entertaining!

OR/AND

2.) In honor of St. Paddy's Day, please share your worst green beer story!

Please check her SITE to see who are playing!

Have a FUN Monday everyone!

"I need YOU (yes, the wonderful YOU!) to pick 5 memorable lines from 5 different movies (if you could tell us which character said it and to whom, would be a bonus)...and tell us to WHOM (who in the people in your life) you could have said those lines."

Fun Monday: Mr. DeMille Edition (March 3)

2008-03-01T07:18:00.000-08:00

Fun Monday will be hosted from the planet of Janet!

And Janet says;

So here's what I want to read about: Write the brief synopsis of this film that you might use to pitch this project and cast the principal players. Who would play you? You can either cast or ignore significant others, children and/or pets. This is, after all, YOUR movie about you you YOU! Illustrate as needed with casting photos or filming locations. Your life not interesting enough? Hey, this is Hollywood. Never let the facts get in the way of a good story!

In an effort to help out new hosts, and to locate archived Fun Monday themes, the following is a list of Fun Mondays since its January 2007 inception.

What began as just something fun to do on a random Monday, has turned into a delightful meme with international appeal (please let me know if I've skipped a week or if you notice any incorrect or broken links!).
