The Pampered Princess

Everybody deserves a day like this.  You spend many long hard days on the job, so you deserve a day or an evening of doing absolutely nothing that contributes to a better world.  You know what I mean, right?

 Sit on your fanny watching Gilligan’s Island reruns and eating cheesy poofs until you fall asleep.  Play video games until your eyes won’t stay open any longer.  I personally like to watch Fresh Prince or South Park or Seinfeld while playing City of Heros and eating junk food.  It makes me completely useless, but peaceful.  We all could use a day like this once in a while. 

Gift It!

Turn this into a gift by giving someone you love permission to be a lazy bum for the day.  You can create “bum for a day” coupons and accompany them with Blockbuster coupons, a goody back full of snacks, a starter subscription to an online game (such as City of Heros or World of Warcraft).  Who do you know that deserves a break today?

For a cool refreshing treat on a hot summer day or a particularly parched day, get a plastic bottle of soda and put it in the freezer for 20-30 minutes until little ice particles begin to form.  Be careful not to let it freeze completely.  The slushy soda is a nice switch from your every day soft drink and it’s a cheap delightful treat you can make for yourself any time. 

You can also add a scoop of vanilla ice cream to just about any soda for a tasty twist on an otherwise average drink.  I also like to get cold drinks from Whataburger and Sonic because of the crushed ice used in their beverages.  They serve their drinks in styrofoam cups, which is not so great on the environment, but for some reason it does something amazing for the flavor of soft drinks.
