When I need a break...


When I need a break I love to grab a good magazine and escape for a bit. A few of my favorite magazines are Parents, Real Simple, Cookie, InStyle and Body & Soul.

What do you do when you need a break from it all?

When I need a break and actually get one, I always read a book. My AF

Going out for a run helps clear my mind.

Happy Friday!

I'll go hide in my bedroom and watch some chick flick or read a book. Or I'll just get out and walk around the neighborhood or go to a book store.

Go for a long bike ride as I am a huge cyclist or go to the gym.

Happy Friday!

I like the trashy weekly gossip mags. (Shhh! Don't tell anyone!) Or the same sort of sites online. Can't help it, I'm addicted! :)

Suzy said...

Ahhhhh, magazines are a great way to relax! I also like to close the door and hop on my treadmill with my ipod and just run!

Aloha!

Go online and play dominoes or go in my room and turn on a DVD.

I enjoy blogging and reading blogs on my breaks {if I get any}. Aloha and take care.

I head on over to the local park. Often when I get to the park I'll walk. I went this morning and there was a horse in a pasture in the middle of the park, and I got to talk to him for awhile! It was find and got my mind off of things for awhile!

I definitely love to close the door to my bedroom and watch a chick-flick in bed -- oooh, and it's even better when hubs is gone and I can sprawl out and fluff up the pillows and eat popcorn...of course, on TOP of the comforter! :)

And I think Will took a great picture. I was all like "hey, how'd she get someone to take her picture like that?! Good job, Will!

When I need a break. I may read or find a great movie to watch.

Marie said...

Read! I curl up on the couch with a cat (or two) and a good book :-)

Tam said...

I read or stalk blogs!

Becca said...

I've actually learned to tune out people. It's amazing and I can't believe that I couldn't do this years ago. Now I can take a mental break whenever without even leaving the room. :)

I go into the bathroom and tell them that Mommy is pooping in the potty. Then I read while sitting on the toilet. Right now it's One Fifth Avenue by Candace Buschnell. This buys me about 20 minutes before my husband figures out that I am not actually pooping.

Love Parents magazine, I usually knit. It relaxes me, plus I make something cute!
