When I was little I used to sit on the toilet and watch my mom carefully shave her legs. She would get really into it (and probably still does, I just don't happen to watch) and take her time.. It was a while before I understood why she did this and the reason is this: no one gets pampered enough. Therefore, a little pampering in the form of a bath, a nice meal, or just a cup of tea is really necessary sometimes. She was a single mom and shaving her legs was "her" time and she treated it as such.
Today two friends and I went to get our nails done. This seems like such a waste of money to me in some ways but in other ways, it is so nice to sit there and relax for once and turn off your cell phone and be present. So that's what we did and it was lovely!
I can't believe that I'm leaving tomorrow for camp. Part of me can't wait and the rest of me is panicking about not being packed enough and needing to tie up loose ends.
