1. We have pizza, wine and Guitar Hero Fridays.

2. When I need to relax I usually listen to music, blog, write, or just sit and enjoy a nice cup of coffee or tea.

3. I like to take a bubble bath and read. Sometimes when hubby comes home late and I’ve had it up to my eyeballs with only kiddy conversations and babies hanging off of me, I retreat upstairs to my bubble bath and book for a few minutes! 🙂

4. Hi. I am (way) over 40 hopping and hoping to be over 400 on the CSN Bathroom Voting Contest.
   Ask someone to Vote and Validate the email, please. It only takes a few seconds and doesn’t cost anything to help. It’s for a much needed bathroom repair/makeover.

5. Not a lot of relaxing time here. Knitting, reading, and doing other fun items are definitely on my must list.

6. Not much ‘me’ time while our 4 daughters were growing up. But, now that the nest is empty, we have plenty of individual and together time. I’m sure I’ll appreciate all this time some day, but we’re mostly still missing our full nest and the wonderful chaos that it brought on a daily basis!

7. I really don’t take much time for myself. I love to read so I guess when I take time to get into a good book that’s my way of relaxing.

8. I don’t! But I should. I’m going to, dammit. Starting now.

9. I am pro-relaxing. We don’t have kids yet, so it’s a little easier. In fact I have “bath, book, bed” routine for at least 3 nights a week. Sometimes I’ll just spend a weekend day in jammies all day, watch movies, and blog.

10. Hi,

    I’m following from Friday Follow Over 40. My thing to relax is reading a magazine. I love, love, love magazines. I probably should join a support group but I love those glossy pages. Pick a topic, any topic. I love them all.
    Have a great day!

11. I am all for relaxing, but I rarely take time to do it. I think for me relaxing is watching TV at night with hubby

12. Hi,

    I’ m following from Follow Friday over 40. I read magazines to relax. Love, love, love them. Any topic, it doesn’t matter. But I tend to reach for fashion and my guilty pleasure is the tabloid kind. 🙂 There’s something about sitting down with those glossy pages that I just find relaxing.
    Have a great day!

13. Sorry, I may have posted a comment twice by mistake.

14. I don’t relax much, always too much to do. I guess my favorite way to relax is reading. I have found that baths work better if the kids are in there with you. They don’t interrupt as much if they are involved.

15. When I have a chance to relax, I love sitting with my nook, a blanket, and chocolate milk (I am such a nerd).
    When the kids are around I try to lock myself in the bathroom for 5 min.

16. Sometimes I just love to curl up under the covers with a good book. I also love to relax while watching a good chick flick.

17. You definitely had a nice time b/h&k) 🙂

    I don’t have time for relaxing that I make available which causes friction for hubs and myself. AFter being with the kids all day, and then I put them to bed, I just want to sit and veg with my pc, but alas, hubs require attention.

    So I stay up later so I can watch tv. It’s my midnight little time. Which means I stay up too late and regret it in the morning.

    I will have to figure something out.

18. yeah mine are early morning as well…i get up about an hour before everyone jsut to have that time…have a great weekend

19. I try to sleep in when can. I wish I had a larger bathtub.

20. I wake up early and enjoy the quiet house.

    Have a great day!

21. These moments are far and few in between but I love a good long hot bath and reading : )

22. I usually have 15 or 20 minutes in the morning after JR leaves and I have to get ready to go. I blog or read blogs.

23. You sound a lot like me! When I was younger (before kids) I used to take a relaxing bath every Friday night and on Sundays I would give myself a manicure after church. I miss those days.

    Like you now that I have kids sometimes I get 10-15 minutes to myself in the morning as I drink my coffee.

24. Relaxing moments are spent on the computer with a cup of coffee, listening to music.

    Dropping by to drop EC and say Happy Friday 🙂

25. What is this “relax” you speak of? hahah I try to go walking almost every night of the week it works out to 4-5 most weeks. Just being OUT is relaxing for me. Pre kids? I used to zone out to Saturday afternoon decorating shows. no time now, and more people to fight for remote access

26. I think I could probably do a better job making time to relax, but I try. I read before bed at night and that relaxes me. I also mandate quiet time / naptime with my kids so I get a break in the afternoon.

27. I love to find time for a nice hot bath, candles, a refreshing drink, and a good book. Ahhh

28. That picture makes me want to take a bath….. ahhh.

    I take a hot shower, make a cup of hot tea, and watch a mindless movie. 🙂

29. I relax by listening to Jazz and reading a book.

30. I do make time to relax 5 days per week. Once every one has gone to bed and the house is quiet, I turn on our DVR and watch Coronation Street for 20 minutes. Makes me day and the perfect way to unwind after a crazy day 🙂

    Happy Friday!

31. Relaxing is… a vacation at Ko’Olina, Oahu! 🙂

32. I use to relax by taking a nap on Sundays when I was single…

    Now…I like to watch a little TV in the evenings but since I received my Kindle I have been absorbed in reading. A great escape for me.

33. Relaxing lately has been going to bed early and getting a good night’s sleep. I’m well over 40! hehe

34. Oh yes, you really should. Get some “ME” time! Every woman should have that for herself. I get plenty of it now that the kids are all married & have homes of their own. To tell you the truth I have a routine of using Oil of Olay on my face & their body wash when I shower (smells wonderful) & I use the cream when I get out. So, Once a month when I perform my miracle & look 10 yrs younger (remove gray & do me a facial) that’s my me time.

35. i was jumping in my bed to get my long napped only for sunday.

36. You absolutely should! I have 4 kiddos so it might be a few more years before I can do that, but more power to you! 🙂

37. My favorite way to relax is by curling up with a good book…preferably a smutty romance… and a glass of wine. *Sigh*

38. Beer on a summer evening on the deck. Not possible at the moment. Having survived 5 kids growing up in the house, I can relate to the quiet time.
    Now they have become adults (one is still hanging out here) so the quiet time comes often. You’ll get there soon enough.

39. My “Calgon moment” is a pedicure. My toe tech doesn’t speak English and I’m able to just sit and relax through the whole process. Ahhhh!

40. a cup of tea and a good magazine and I am good!
