CELEBRATE ME 2008
- Thread starter Gingerbug
- Start date
i LOVE this idea!!! :jumpinghearts: ...my birthday is the 8th of feb ( my 45th!!!!)...so hard to believe, but i can't wait to see what is coming :bunny: ...i hyad already told everyone that this is the year i must make myself a high priority...and this sounds like it will help...i can't wait until the 8th!!!
My birthday is on the 6th. Maybe I should do something for myself each month. I like this idea.
Off Topic a little hope that's ok. We taught my granddaughter her season by when each of our birthdays fall. We're in Winter her season right now. Next it will be Spring mama's season, then it will be Summer nanny's(mine) season, then it will be Fall papa's season.

Hey on the first of each month lets start a Me Day thread....you know like ....January Me Day....and then when our days pop up we can post what we do....
Whoever wants to start it and gets there first can do it....lol!!!!

it'sanewme-consider that very lucky and do something extra special!
girlsinmo-love that idea for teaching seasons!
Gingerbug-Love that idea and love how the me thing has taken off! I may have to jump on the bandwagon, although-I love Rudy and great pumpkin days so much they are like me days too! I don't want to get greedy! :lovestruck:

Great idea, Gingerbug! I'm in!
Itsanewme, celebrate anyway! The fact that it's your day takes all the 'bad luck' right out of it! :-D

Great idea, again, Gingerbug! I'd love to hear how others are celebrating! My day will be the 20th of each month. :jumpinghearts:
Man, I can not keep up with all the postings!!!!
This is a GREAT ideal. Mine is the 22nd. Even with my kids getting older I still don't take time for myself. I even tell others when they are so stressed that you have to have time for yourself.

My celebrate me day may change from month to month but I'll be trying for the 18th. I'm thinking this month I'll do something different with my hair. I have had the same style for years I think it's time for a change.
Mine is the 22nd too, Lana. Hmmm...I wonder how many birthday-ish stickers I have? My calendar is getting quite pretty with all the stickers I've added!

Wonderful ideas here! The idea of our "special" day each month is terrific!!! It is so hard for women to nurture themselves....
One addition of a possible idea: many magazines have articles like "Best Beauty Buys Under $10". You don't have to buy the magazine. Look at the article in the check out line and write down one or two things to try.
Last year I tried a liquid soap in a little pump for hand washing. It was fabulous - and only cost 50 cents more than the bargain ones I had been picking up. Now, I get a little treat each time I wash my hands at the kitchen sink.
Another idea - we could SECRETELY mark our family members birthdate on our calendar each month and do a little something for them on that day each month. Don't tell them what we are doing. Just do something extra nice for them on that day. Doesn't even have to involve money being spent. And then we don't have to feel guilty for really spoiling ourselves on our day each month.

Count me in. Momof4, I'll join you in that exercise program! I'll be celebrating "me" on the 23rd. ink:

MY Celebrate Me day was yesterday-the 13th. I was ordained as an Elder in the Presbyterian church and a reception was held afterward. I did feel special! The rest of the day I simply relaxed in front of the TV set.
