bubblyja's post made me really curious as to what all the other mamas think would make the perfect day off. so, if you had a full 24 hours off from your kids, partners, jobs, EVERYTHING, what would you do to take advantage of it? this is a fantasy, so feel free to be a little unrealistic if you want!

Well, mine is not near as exciting as some of you other mamas, but it's what I really, really want right now, so here goes.

I would spend the whole day decorating and just setting up our new (hypothetical) house. I would frame and hang all the cool new art I bought off of Etsy (man, there is some good stuff on there!). I'd start our garden, plant some yummy vegetables. I'd set up my new, organized work area for my crafts. Make a spot for each bead and have all my paperwork organized and ready to go. Take a nice long bath in my huge (hypothetical!) tub, then I'd either take myself out to dinner or cook something amazing. I'd make some rich and gooey chocolate dessert (or go buy one!) and top it with ice cream. Then just watch crap t.v. or movies until I fell asleep. I'd be read and refreshed to start our new life in our new place in our old hometown.

Thanks for letting me dream for a moment, I needed that. Sticking out tongue

Hmmm, can you tell I'm an introvert, my day included no one else!!! Except for maybe a cute waiter or grocery store clerk to serve me, ha! And I'd probably have my mom over to help me with my garden. But other than that, I want ME time!!

mmmm.. massage, sex, lots of chocolate, pastries, more sex. More massage, bubble bath, pedicure, swimming in a private pool, having someone brush my hair. Wow I guess I need some pampering

Oh wait, I'm doing that on Saturday.

For less healthy options, I would start the day off by buying a pack of cigarettes -- something really delicious, like the cherry flavored clovish ones that come in the pretty brown boxes -- and I'd find a nice coffee shop in town, go there, get an iced almond latte and sit outside, smoke cigs, and write poetry. Just like the old days.
Around noon, I would grab a sandwich and drive out to the waterfall and take a nice 3 or 4 mile hike. If I found a friend to go with me, I'd bring a little wine or brandy and hang out on the trail a little longer.
I would then take a nap, and find somewhere to go out dancing...preferably with a great DJ, and if there was more money involved in this, I would buy myself a pair of shoes that was worth dancing in.
Ahhh.

Its a tie. Part of me wants to say have everything in lana's answer minus the weed and karaoke plus sex with a girl that is a dead ringer for Pink and is one kinky bitch. And a bubble bath in a big ass tub in some luxry hotel room. And more sex with that imaginary girl. Maybe some other stuff that I quit doing years ago that I can't mention. But hell its a fantasy so why go sober? Lots of it and it would be free too.

OR:

Be with my best friend, who I miss terribly and we would be just eating and talking and watching and checking out hot boys together. Then, we would go shopping and he'd laugh and congratulate me on my trampy flashy selections and we'd do alot of backstabbing and get drunk and eat some more and plunge the knifes in deeper for the people in our pasts, and just be total jackasses in public.

Well, if it happened in a more realistic sense (but had a fairly dispensable income for the day)here are some things I would do: I would sleep in, go to the gym, go out for breakfast by myself and read while I ate, meet a friend and go vintage clothes shopping, go get pedicures and massages, either go out or have a night in with cocktails and girlfriends and talk talk talk, go do some karaoke and dancing, then go home and smoke some pot and watch a really entertaining movie. That day meets my current mood anyway.

In a completely unrealistic dream world I might do similar things, but do them somewhere tropical. And more extravagantly.

Go to a completely head-to-toe pampering spa on the beach... in Italy... with two of my best girlfriends.
