27. A bubble bath is great.
Candles, wine and a good book with some soft music. It's one of the few times that I will listen to classical.

3. I love to read, too, but right now, cooking is a good form for me...
When I've been in a mood, I've taken to baking bread, rolling sushi, whatever -- labor-intensive cooking that forces me to work with my hands.

I've discovered kneading really dense whole-grain bread is good for when I've been doing too much typing, too.

4. Reading or listening to music.
Or lying back at the park, looking up at the sky.

Heck, I'm feeling more relaxed just *thinking* about doing that. :)

Too hard to come by though.

18. It would be so great to sleep eight hours in a row!!
Other than that, I love to watch movies at home with my sweety. And sex used to be very relaxing, but now we're always frantic because we know the baby will wake up any second.

37. snorkeling over a tropical reef. Just lie there and look at the
pretty fish.

now I can only do that every 3 or 4 years or so.

So in the meantime, I like getting a good pedicure, or a massage.


A good book with a glass of wine


curl up in the waterbed with my kitties
