Time to Relax

I think most of us would love to relax more. And I think I know exactly why we don't relax more. We don't have time. I know I don't have time. But I think I've figured out how I could find more time.

It's very simple.

I need a personal maid.


I need a personal chef.


I need a personal gardener.


I need a personal chauffeur.


I need a personal hairdresser.


What about you? If you had to choose, which of the above would help you have more time to relax?

None of the above, Shana. Just a wolfish kind of hunk. hmmmm....

MiaMarlowe said...

Sign me up for your whole list, Shana!

You put me in mind of Judy Syfer's classic, "I Want A Wife." Her sentiments are twenty years old, and we can all ring those changes today.

The maid would be a big help around here, and I don't need a chauffeur, but a swain to ride shotgun wouldn't go amiss.

I would take the hair dresser and gardener. And a hunky man!

Carolyn Brown said...

All of the above and an assistant to do the interviews. Especially would like the maid and the gardener.

Tamara Hogan said...

None of the above, Shana - not that I'd turn any of them away if they showed up on my doorstep.

I relax most fully when I step away from the technology. Cell phone off, computers down, no internet. I can practically hear my brain say, "Aaaahhhh....."

ShanaGalen said...

LOL, Terry! I wouldn't complain if one of those showed up.

ShanaGalen said...

Mia, you are on the list!

ShanaGalen said...

Too funny, Grace! I've heard of "I want a Wife" but never read the original. I want a wife, too!

ShanaGalen said...

Good choices, Susan.

ShanaGalen said...

That many interviews, huh, Carolyn :-) No one could answer the questions like you can!

ShanaGalen said...

Good for you, Tamara! I don't find any of those tasks relaxing. I don't mind folding laundry, but that's about it.

Amelia said...

Of course I'd choose them all, too! Well, maybe I'd start with the chef. I'm not a very good cook!

Great list, Shana...but I'd love someone to wash the dishes for me--and dry them and put them away.

I really hate that chore.

catslady said...

I'll go for the maid everytime. I hate housecleaning lol. It would give me more time to cook which I enjoy (it's the figuring out what to cook that is the hardest).

Kathleen O said...

Ah the personal chef, well some of the time. I like to cook and as the the maid, well yea, goes with out saying Now the chauffer is something I really need at the momment as do i need the hairdresser. Oh and I could use someone to do personal errands for me.. OH God, am I just lazy... But then I could have more time to read.

Amelia, I am so glad to hear you say that. I am an awful cook, and sometimes I feel like I'm the only bad cook around.

ShanaGalen said...

C.H., they have invented a machine called a dishwasher. It does everything but put the dishes away. You need one!

ShanaGalen said...

Catslady, if I had a maid maybe I would be a better cook! LOL!

ShanaGalen said...

Kathleen, I am too lazy to do my own hair! How's that? Really, it's just that I would rather spend my time on other things (like reading).

Cheryl Brooks said...

All of the above, thank you!

Elf2060 said...

I'd have to vote for the maid...everything else I can get by with (thanks to frozen dinners and avoidance behaviors, lol)...

ShanaGalen said...

My thoughts exactly, Cheryl!

ShanaGalen said...

What's wrong with frozen dinners and avoidance, Elf2060? Works for me!

Amanda Forester said...

Yes, sign me up! I'd also like a personal assistant to tell me what I'm supposed to be doing at any given time, or better yet, do it for me while I relax!

ShanaGalen said...

Amanda, I need a personal assistant to keep track of everything for me!
