A couple of days ago I realized that I couldn't remember the last time I did something just for me, by myself. After a little deliberation I decided I wanted to get my hair cut, I wanted bangs. So, I go and get my hair cut, something my ex was very against (he wanted me to have long bleach blonde hair, not something I wanted, but I was trying to do it for him). I got my hair trimmed and layered (it's a little above my shoulders), and I got some side swept bangs. Yeah... the bangs looked SO horrible on me, and I was pretty bummed. On my way home, I felt like driving through the back roads, I was upset about my hair in a "spilled milk"-"straw that broke the camel's back" kind of way and I started crying. So, I pull onto this paved back road, a straight shot, no cars behind me, no cars in front of me. I took a deep breath, turned up the radio and floored it. I got my little '92 Corolla up to about 90 miles an hour and it felt really good, it was amazing. My tears turned into a smile, and by the end of my joy ride I was busting out laughing (not to mention I was listening to I've Got Friends in Low Places). Something about making a decision on a whim and not thinking about it was just wonderful. Oh, and when I got hime I found a way to style my hair that makes the bangs look good. All in all, it was a great day!!
It just got me to wondering, what was the last thing you ladies have done just for you? Something crazy or just plain indulgent that didn't need to be done, but something you simply wanted to do?
I think a lot of times we got too used to giving our lives to other people that we sometimes forget about ourselves and "me time".
