My Special Evening

My Special Evening
by Jacquelyn Hollister Right at this moment, I am stressed. I need a special evening all to my self. No kids, no husband, no worries. My special evening would be all about self indulgence. First, I would reserve a nice hotel room. Once there, I would turn on some smooth jazz by Gerald Albright to get me going. Then, as I danced to my jazzy grooves, I would place lavender scented candles all over the place, especially in the bath area. After that I would draw myself a nice hot bubble bath, a vanilla scented bubble bath or maybe peppermint. Then I would undress, slip into the tub, still groovin to Gerald Albright, lights off, lavender candles burning, and meditate, soaking all my cares away. After all of my stress swirled down the drain, I would dry off and and then massage myself with some type of fruity scented body lotion. Next I would slip on a nice comfortable sexy night gown. Then I would pour myself a glass of wine and curl up on the bed to read some of my favorite magazines like Heart and Soul, Self, O(Oprah), Cosmopolitan, and Essence, or I would read a book by my favorite author Iyanla Vanzant. Aaaah, what a nice evening that would be for me... "Mommy, Mommy, Mommy", "Did you do this?", "Did you do that?", "I need this!", "I need that!"...Sorry, I have to go, but while Im tending to my kids and husband, I will be planning my special evening set for this weekend. You better believe it!
