A Perfect Day to Myself (yeah right)

A girl can dream right?  Now this will not happen for at least 18 years.  But, I thought it would be fun to look back in 18 years and see how I would have wanted to spend my day at 33.  I love my kiddos but I do have fond memories of lazy Saturdays spent all by myself about 5 years ago.  The perfect day would definitely have some requirements.  Now let's get on with this dream sequence!

I would wake up at 9am.  I'm not a sleep the day away kinda girl.  And that would be wasting this precious time to myself.  Of course fresh out of bed I would look adorable so there would be no need for makeup or hair or any other crap like that.  I would brush my teeth and take myself straight to the nearest Pancake House.  Once there, I would devour an entire Dutch Baby.  For people who aren't local, it's a baked pancake.  It comes with strawberries, strawberry compote, butter, powdered sugar and lemon juice.  You dump all that good stuff right in the middle and eat your face off.  I have finished off several in my lifetime.  Pregnancy in the beginning can make a girl pretty darn hungry!  It's OMG amazing.  And I could eat my food hot for once without cutting up little people's food or begging a certain 5 year old to eat.  From there I would go to the mall, shop by myself and try on clothes and walk around Sephora looking at makeup.  Ya know the things that don't happen when you have kids.  This reminds me to tell you about a product line called Soap & Glory.  It's a British company and I love all their products.  Eye cream, hand cream, body scrub, bronzer, etc. 
After I would come home around Noon and lay in the sun with my ipod.  This would go on for at least 2 hours till I was a bronze goddess.  Then I would come inside for a nice nap.  Get up and watch some original 90210 for several more hours.  And the really good episodes too!  Like the Spring Fling, Brenda's pregnancy scare, etc.  I would read a book by my favorite author Elin Hilderbrand.  She writes about love, friendship and food that takes place in Nantucket.  I have never been but after reading her books it sounds like a lovely place to go.  I would order pizza and wings for dinner (delivered) and have to end the night watching my favorite movies.  Can't Buy Me Love, Pretty Woman, or Sweet Home Alabama.  Oh and I almost forgot - their would be cupcakes!!  Maybe lunch or after dinner. My perfect day would include some cake.  OK and maybe some smooches from my kiddos.
