Treat Yourself... Once In A While... ðŪð
Treat Yourself... Once In A While... ðŪð It was around lunch time on Saturday. I was running about and the day was dragging so... I decided to treat myself to food - prepared by random strangers. I chose a cute little Italian bistro, not far from home. Did I have time for a glass of wine? "Sure," I thought. "Why not?" I looked on my table for a wine list. In the vibrant energy of that lively place, it took a few minutes... for the waiter, to appear and answer my question. "We don't have a wine list," he replied blankly. "Well, what wines do you have?" At which point my waiter nodded. And... with an exasperated sigh and a roll of his eyes, strode quickly to the back of the bar (where he spoke with the manager) and then - hustled quickly back up to my table. And breathlessly replied... "They're ALL... thirteen percent." Red, was the colour I chose. It was also the color of my plate of rigatoni bolognese, which I might add - was a real pleasure. The flavours...? I don't know exactly what they put in there, but they pulled it off. I was impressed ! The wine turned out to be, surprising as well. From a local winery and all, but really, really ... smooth. I had a second glass, to confirm my suspicions about the first. I walked out of that, tiny busy bistro, with a huge smile on my face... and wondered something. I mean, that place had been there for a few years : why, had I never gone there before? And then it dawned on me. I just don't treat myself very often. How many of us, do? ........................................ . .. ... is there another way to look at it Going Too Fucking Far NEW Blog Features RevealeD O O A Foolproof Method Posted Over on that NEW site O O |

Sounds like a nice treat you gave yourself. I don't treat myself often either as there really isn't any places worth trying here. So glad you enjoyed yourself, and perhaps you will try that place again sometime and try something different from the menu. I hope you enjoy the rest of your day..

I do treat myself. I am very good to myself. Live today because tomorrow might not ever come. There was a time in my life I felt this. Some memories have left me. So, I am trying to make knew ones. My life has changed because I have changed. I love being me. I love the people around me. BE good to yourself. It helps with healing!
| |||
|
Some people would consider my whole retired life a treat. I treat myself to a trip periodically and in between trips, I'm a little more frugal so those treats would be a pedicure or going to the bookstore. Opportunity may knock only once, but temptation bangs on the door forever!

I just want the points.
| |||
|
Sure
| |||
|
Of course it would be better to share experiences with 'someone special'. But when that is not an option, I do 'treat' myself once in awhile. It may be a movie, a theatre ticket, lunch or dinner, buying a new outfit or lingerie or going on vacation to a treasured place on my 'bucket list'. Life is too short not to enjoy what I can, when I can.
| |||
|
Every once in a while, it is nice to be waited on. And there's no cleanup!
| |||
|
I treat myself to good food fairly often, although there are a few places in my neighborhood I haven't tried yet. Tonight I'm going to the opera by myself, kind of a spur of the moment purchase. And tomorrow I'm off to spend a week at a spa. Obviously I don't have a problem with treating myself!

Oh Ho How Cool: I LOVE the goat! As for treating myself: several places that I like have email"clubs" and you get email about specials. Romano Macaroni Grill is one and weekdays you almost always count on some Buy One Get one or 25% off or a free glass of wine with a meal.They just got a new Rose that is delightful I just photo the offer in my cell phone and if I happen to be starving when I am out and about I have the proof that there is a treat somewhere if I am so motivated. I'd give anything to get a pedicure but that is not in the starts for a few more weeks. (Virtual Symposium Group) use Virtual Symposium Group

I treat myself constantly... little trinkets, good food, quality drink, the occasional massage or concert... sometimes I treat myself by not feeling guilty about staying in my jammies all day. Hey, if I don't do it, nobody else will!
| |||
|
I always have a hard time eating alone..... There's something about it that makes me feel so loserish. So, no. I don't really treat myself to food.

I treat myself every Saturday. Last Saturday I tried a fried chicken place that I had been told was the best. I was very disappointed. Sunday I made my own 3-salt fried chicken recipe and all was right with my world.

So I'm the only one here who spends his evenings by the lake or on the computer or phone... spending hours talking with people? ðĪ Sounds like you have a plan? ðð What's your next adventure?

No not at all. I Love talking on the phone with friends and have been known to do it, all night long. But you asked, about what we do to 'treat' ourselves. My daughter thinks it's strange to go to a restaurant alone but I have no problem doing so. Next adventure? Seriously thinking about a trip to Ireland but I also would love to see Newfoundland and Quebec. What about you? Or just lazy and content where I am? Perhaps a bit of both. Your plans sound exciting! Especially if you're into them. Who doesn't like an adventure?
