Just wanted to wish you all a wonderful, happy weekend. I was given off this weekend (Fri-Sun) and we decided to make it an official Pipers Kitty weekend! Okay, I can see all the new faces saying "What the heck is this crazy woman talking about?"
Several years ago I did a post about taking a Pipers Kitty day, named, of course after my cat. I was watching her one day, and she was being the typical kitty. Doing what she wants, when she wants, and I seriously doubt feeling any guilt about it. Hmm..... if animals can do that, why can't we? I'm a tad bit of a workaholic. Good cody I am, I needed to get everything done, put my needs last, etc. We all know the routine. So I decided to try to give myself 1 day a month where I could be like Pipers. Minus eating the chipmunks of course. The first time I did it, it wasn't easy. I made it through a 1/2 day. Now I'm up to at least several days a month. It's about being good to me, for me without feeling guilty about it. So the dishes are in the sink. Who cares? If I want to do them I will. If I don't, no biggy. It's because of this program I learned to take care of me and be good to me.
Now hubby has joined in the act (which is more huge for him because he can be a bit OCDish). Today we went to the surgeon's and his halo on his foot may come off by the end of the month! The exrays look really good! The rest of the weekend, who knows? We've made no plans. We're just going to do whatever comes to mind. If we want to nap all day long, go for it! We might sneak out and go fishing. If we do chores, we do them. If we want to work in the garden we will.
So I wish you all a wonderful Pipers Kitty (or whomever your favorite pet is) weekend. Love and blessings to you and your families, and all the MIP animals.
Live strong,
Karilynn, Hubby and Pipers Kitty

Thanks for encouragement :) I took one day this week and did nothing, just hung out. It's not a really comfy thing for me, but I did it! I remember hearing here....or somewhere.....we should make an effort to take the date of our birthday off each month of the year and do something we love. I have it in my calendar now:)
I did not wonder for one second what is this crazy lady tawkin bout .
It's you .
Have a wonderful weekend. I've been a lil stressed here myself what with working and going to college at night. I don't have time to play this w/e because I have a midterm but I am gonna live vicariously through you "just for today."
Live strong, love ya, Maria
