My Pity Parties

I think we all have them but mine are definitely special to me. When I am feeling like I am in need of my private pity party, I start a hot bubble bath. I run and get my beverage of choice, usually red zinfandel wine, candles to light, and some classical music. I run back upstairs without so much as talking with anyone in my way and strip down after locking the door. They all seem to know when not to bother me due to my private pity party time. I light the candles, pour my first glass, start the music, and put my tiara on. You all should know that I am a princess and should be treated as such even if it is by me. Into the tub I go for a couple of hours. I daydream about what went wrong and what I could have done to stop it before making me piteous. Sometimes I allow myself a tear or two. The wine usually kicks in about this time and I start to giggle about all the bubbles and the crown on my head. I come back to reality and know that my problems have never been more than I can handle and I enjoy a good challenge. I get out and dry off and wrap myself with a new attitude. I realize that self pity is a terrible thing but I don't want to give up my tiara or bubble baths and it is a great excuse to enjoy my time alone. Try it, you"ll like it!!
