Family autographs
Well this is for all the men, We do not know how to take care of ourselves. Women do. How many times you have been wating in bed, watching her put lotion on her legs, arms, face. The moisterizer, the latest mask of fruits, oils, or weeds. You see it is not the actuall doing it but the intention behind it, yes I will take care of myself, I will look for dry patches on my skin, I will not forget to put that lotion on my legs, they are trained to do that, by their mothers, watching their mothers, and grandmothers............. When was the last time any of you guys took a bubble bath, with a gloass of wine and candle light, I guess not huh. You do not remember do you, I am not talking about your girlfriend in college pushing you in the tub and taking adavantage of you reluctantly. But you coming home tired, and decide to reward yourself with a warm bath, a glass of wine, and maybe your favorite book.NAH
I started thinking about this watching, WILL AND GRACE, when grace is depressed, and comes home to fine Will having a bubble bath, and Will says, I thought you will be depressed, and you might need a bath, but it looked so good I got in myself. We have come a long way though, there is lot more hair products out there, we put plugs on our bald heads, there are a lot more nose jobs, and face lifts,(don't even go there, and start me on that), we do excersise more, and some of us even try a bit of make up once in a while. But not the Bubble bath, if we find ourselves alone at home, we will find other unmentionable excersise to occupy our time.
When I was in college, at Setton Hall, there was a course thought by a Jesuet priest called PLAY. The focus of the game was finding the role of PLAYING, and its necassity in adult life. How it helps us become more balanced in our every day life. It was very interesting, since only when we are at Playing, we get to the state of not thinking, not worrying, and as we all know that is the ultimate state. THINKER WITHOUT THE THOUGHT. of course all of this coming fro0m a man who has not had a vacation in nine years. But I do get to play as you all know by my writing, by my role playing, and all I do, or at least that is how I convince myself.
My sweet son Amin is showing lots of improvement, last night we were at Julia's house for David's sixteenth birthday, as usuall she had out done herself, Great appetizers, cheeses, home made wine, and all kinds of barbecues, we ate to our hearts delight, I am still on my CHEWING regimen, which make me enjoy my food more, and not eat as much, for the first time after the dinner, I did not feel bloated, and was very happy about my new experiment. Everybody was surprised to see Amin playingt with the kids outside, some of the guest did not even recognised him since he did not used to be present at the parties most of the time, playing games downstairs.
And My precious Kiana came up with her latest idea, producing a white piece of the paper, put the date on it, and the title, FAMILY AUTOGRAPHS, and then she got every one, big and small to sign their names on it, and took it home as her new little tressure. Every one was delighted to see her new project and willingly signed the paper.
We all taked about MR Moayeddi, our very own DAYEE JAN NAPOLEONE, He passed away a few days ago in Iran, He and his wife had become a part of the family and were present at most of the family parties. He was Eighty Five years old, and died in sleep. The last of old Iranaina Gentlmen, a polotician who had held many Jobs in SHASH'S government, well spoken, well read, and always dressed up in suite and ties, we all talked about him shared memories, we will miss him. so the weekend is here, and as ever, LIFE IS GOOD

I think I'm going to have to join you guys in this area as I really don't pamper myself with all those things as it just seems too much work. And those bubble baths? Not my cup of tea - they've never relaxed me. I'd rather go see a good massage therapist (well maybe I do pamper myself, just not with lotions and other fancy stuff).

Hmmm, maybe I should bow out of this one! For me Calgon works best, the wine part is optional, ditto for the candles. And no books - I just get them wet in the end (toy submarine is fine).
Actually what I'm considering is getting a larger capacity water heater since the current one gets a bit taxed... even if I only tax it like twice a year.

For me as a person, not just a woman pampering has always been about 'heightening the senses.' For instance yesterday was my 1st day off in 10 days and I woke up to a gloriously bright sunny day to a yard full of bird song,,,,I made a pot of aromatic coffee, and proceeded to transform the outside deck. I tossed pillows on all the weathered wood furniture,draped scarves on the tables, cut fresh lilacs,peeled oranges, lit some incense and then sat down with my feet up. As I sipped my coffee slowly and took in the whole scene under a canopy of hanging wisteria vines I felt very pampered. I think most of us 'pamper' our senses/selves but in different ways. yes,Life is Good,,,,ahhhh
