I Need a Break!
It's funny to me that as soon as I decided to make this a project for my friends and family, my babysitter went on a perpetual vacation and is still not back. I have been trying for over a month now to find a new sitter, but I've had no luck. This weekend though I finally heard back from a girl that sat for a friend of mine. She's away too, but she'll be back in a few days. I can't wait to meet her and put her to work immediately! I think about the project and being a pampered princess all the time, and sometimes I find myself just settling for what I can get instead of what I really want in life. I have been noticing how much I don't ask for what I want. I wish for it, hope for it, hint about it and sometimes even demand it, but I rarely just ask. I guess because there's always a chance that I'll hear "no." But so what? Why is it so hard to hear a no? It doesn't stop my 2-year-old from asking again, so why should it stop me. From now on, when I want something, I'm just going to ask for it. What are you taking on this week?

I took on organizing the first monthly women's get together with some friends of mine. i organized an evite, asked people to breakfast, and asked them to bring a writing having to do with something about women. People seem excited to meet. It was a way to get some women together. I've been needing that. I hang out with my boyfriend A LOT and dont take care of myself enough. i'll let you know how it goes. I definetly thought of this pampered group when I organized this outing!!
on an additional note..I simply sat down with my boyfriend yesterday and instead of doing all the things you listed as "old" ways to try and get what you want...I simply sat and talked with him..the results were pretty amazing..pampered princess taking care of herself in an adult manner and getting great results..Thanks mara! all inspired by your blog
