Join the fun and link up for Five Question Friday over at My Little Life.
1. How often do you shave your legs in the winter?
Um, I let 'em go... a whole day. No, really, I have a serious ocd thing about shaving my legs. The last two years I've worked myself into every other day in winter. But that's the best I can do. It's every single day in spring, summer and fall.
2. Valentine's Day cards for your spouse: funny or romantic?
Usually romantic, with an occasional funny thrown in. I don't know why we don't do more funny ones, though - Hubs has a great sense of humor.

3. What are you most looking forward to about spring?
Well, around here, spring is still rainy, so I won't say warm, sunny weather. (It IS what I'm looking forward to about summer, though!) No, for spring, I'll have to say I'm looking forward to baseball!! (both The Boy's and professional) I'm also looking forward to the blooming cherry trees, tulips, daffodils, and all the beautiful color that spring brings to a tired dreary winter landscape.

4. What's your favorite way to pamper yourself?
For me, pampering myself means being able to escape daily stresses. Being able to curl up and read undisturbed, or go out to dinner with girlfriends. A girls getaway weekend or even better, a vacation to Maui! Those are great ways to pamper myself, right?

5. Does your tax return go into savings or do you spend it instantly?
Wait, what's this you speak of? Tax return? You get those? No, being self employed means there is no tax 'return'. On the occasion that I overpay, the credit just gets applied to the next quarter's taxes. I do, however, put a few extra 'percent' into my tax savings account (that we use for paying taxes out of) each month so at the end of the year, as long as no unexpected business expenses have come up, it's like my own personal refund to myself... only I earned interest on it, instead of the government! :)

Around here, spring looks pretty much the same as the rest of the year with the temps beginning to rise. I miss the four seasons for sure. Actually, correction on that. I miss spring and fall. Winter I can do without forever and summer here is Hell Hot. I miss the colors. We do have some pretty flowers here, but they are all transplanted by the groundskeepers. I enjoy them, though.
Hawaii sounds heavenly. I like the big island. I could use some pampering there for sure!
Have a lovely weekend, Ally!
As a fellow self employed person, I hear you, and I applaud you. Have a good weekend, Ally :)
Good luck tonight, Ally! Not that you'll need it. I am the exact opposite about shaving my legs. I don't think I've shaved since last fall. Will you still be my friend? Have a great fundraiser!
Whoa wait...
Every day?!
Really?!
I'm like 1/4 Italian and I don't.
Yes, you should feel bad for the husband.
And my nylons.
What about laser hair removal? I've been thinking about it myself. I hate shaving but I hate the hair even more :)
Taxes....sigh....
You take such good care of yourself. You might call it OCD, I call it being a real lady. Unfortunately I am not. I look forward to cherry blossoms too!
Ha ha ha! I can't go a day without being driven NUTS if I don't shave. So on the three sick days a year I might take for myself... you'll see me scratching my legs in my sleep, ha! Sorry TMI.
And uninterrupted reading? What on earth is that and how do you regain that after having a child?
Love your list!
I like your personal refund system. You're a smart cookie!
I shave my legs 365/365. I let A LOT go about myself, too much really (think:eyebrows), but my legs drive me batty if I don't shave them.
