		<description>I treated myself with the the sweetness that is Target's 90% off sale on leftover Christmas stuff. I probably have more wrapping paper and silver bows now then I technically need, but there's something about 90% off that makes you feel so good inside. My Christmas cards for next year? An indecent $.49 a box.</description>

		<description>Sara, you're so burly.

Vivian, um, don't you think your comment deserves all caps?  YOU TOLD YOUR FAMILY YOU ARE NOT THEIR SERVANT.  That is pretty amazing and huge.  BRAVO!

Dylan, I am all for having a cute boy write on your hand.  And for you working on your book, of course, but the cute boy . . . sigh.</description>

		<description>Robin, Vivian: Well, my hand hurts today, so I guess yoga's healthier. But I'm so glad someone taught me how to hit a bag. I always carry an extra set of wraps and gloves and if a woman looks interested, I show her how. It's super fun. I do the speed bag, too. Great for your shoulders.</description>

		<description>Robin, Wahoo!  Hope you gave yourself a big reward!

Yay, Kelly and Jen! 

Sara, Wow.  Boxing, too?

LW, I still don't know how you manage to do all you do.  

I finally pushed back on my family and told them I was not their servant.  I should have done this when my eldest was younger, but I've finally had it, and made up some rules.  Wish me luck!</description>

		<description>Little Willow, I know what you mean about having a hard time coming up with nice things you've done for yourself--that's one of the reasons I have this list.  I want all of us (including me) to have a reason to be conscious of treating ourselves at least as well as we treat other people.  It's so easy to always pamper others, go out of our way for others--and I want to see that happening on our own behalfs, at least once a week.

Thank you, Kathy!</description>

		<description>Congratulations, Robin!

Congratulations, Kelly!

Best wishes with the film, Bill.

Feel better, Shai.

You are rocking it, Jen.

I always have trouble with these lists, because they are supposed to be about things I do for myself, and I can't think of many things that qualify. 

I worked. 
I read.
I recommended books.
I attempted to set up auditions.
I wished people would be more forthcoming and more honest.
I posted a great deal at my blog. 
I walked a great deal last weekend, and plan on doing so this weekend.

This week went by a little faster than last week.</description>

		<description>Yes, getting sick sucks, but it gives you a great excuse to watch old movies, eat lots of carbs, and not feel one ounce of guilt.</description>
