Small Talk Six: Rest & Relaxation . . . What Are Those?
Want to join in? Go here to learn how and to view the weekly list Small Talk Six topics for 2009.
Today’s topic is “6 things you do, used to do, or would like to do to relax.” You can answer this with a list of 6 words, 6 phrases, 6 sentences, 6 paragraphs, 6 photos, 6 videos, etc . . .
This one was a toughy. I had to think about what the word “relax” actually meant. It has been a foreign concept to me since the twins were born 2-1/2 years ago. 
Here are my six:
1) I read a book before I go to bed every night no matter how late it is or how tired I feel. It really helps me to forget all the things I need to worry about the next day.
2) I used to soak in a tub full of bubbles before I had my first child,. So it’s been about 6 years since I’ve done that.
3) I used to eat a pint of Ben & Jerry’s Cherry Garcia Ice Cream while watching ABC Soaps for 3 hours. That all went out the window when all the TV watching switched to mostly Rated G.
4) I used to take an afternoon nap with a thick cuddly comforter and nothing else on. Now naps only happen for me a few times per year . . . never mind naked ones.
5) I used to doodle or sketch. It could be anything really . . . fashion design, cartoons, flowers, etc . . .
6) I would love to go on a slow-paced vacation with my family, without having to worry about time and money.

Love the list!
great list
Oh what I would give to sit in front of the TV for hours munching. Now, yes it has to be G rated and munching goes straight to my thighs. Lame! LOL!!!
I didn’t relax until my kids went to college
Sometimes I wonder if I’ll ever get to soak in a tub again.
At least I have a pool now
I miss bubble baths, too.
oh my goodness, I forgot all about soaps..I can’t tell you when I’ve seen one last..now that’s relaxing and vegging!
Shaun, are you pasting the code in on the html editor tab rather than the regular tab? @ Shaun:
I currently have a crying newborn and crying toddler…I sure could use some relaxation! HA!
On a different note, why can’t I get any of the buttons to work on Blogger?

Your whole list sounds wonderful!
I cannot believe I forgot a bubble bath. Probably because I haven’t taken one in years.
A bubble bath sounds really good to me
I love afternoon naps, especially on rainy days.:-)
God Bless,
Susan
A nap and bubble bath both sound so good!
Thanks for the linky love! I look forward to reading what other people do to relax!
