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?

Coffee - it’s not just for breakfast anymore!  If you enjoy the scent of a steaming cup of coffee, then do yourself a favor.  Take the time to savor the aroma and the flavor.  Whether you enjoy the coffee at home or at the local coffee shop, you can always find new ways to enjoy this old favorite. 

Here are some of my favorite coffee treats: 

• Coffee made with freshly ground flavored coffee beans
• French Vanilla Creamer (Coffee Mate has a nice version of this)
• Southern Butter Pecan Creamer (there is nothing like it!  Again, Coffee Mate)
• Starbuck’s Vanilla Latte, Mocha Latte, Cinnamon Latte, Caramel Lattte (They even have a ’skinny’ version!)
• Starbuck’s Vanilla Steamer (The “un-coffee”, a perfect calming, sweet, hot beverage for an evening treat)

I love to enjoy my coffee in an oversized mug, preferably in my flannel pj’s curled up in front of a good movie next to my sweetheart.

GIFT IT!

Gifting this one is a no-brainer.  Starbuck’s gift card - bada boom bata bang!  You’re done!  If you want to foo-foo it up, you can always put the card in a cute cup or a gift basket with other compliments, such as biscotti and swizzle sticks.
