Yesterday, as I looked through my calendar on my phone to plan a conference call later this week, I realized my April is quite full! Every weekend there’s something fun on the agenda. I have a feeling it’s going to be a good month!
Weekend plans in April (in chronological order):
- Taste of Ocala
- “Spring Break” Weekend with my girlfriends (We haven’t seen each other since Michaela and Kyle’s wedding!)
- Jersey Boys in Orlando with my mom and sister
- Easter
- My birthday
Yes, it’s also my birthday month (I turn 29 on the 27th) and as Ryan and I crawled into bed last night, he asked me if I had anything special on my birthday wish list. It was then and there that I came up with one heck of an awesome birthday gift idea.
A 10-minute massage every day for the whole year.
Wouldn’t that be amazing!?
I thought Ryan would immediately shut down my idea, but he didn’t! (He did laugh though… I wonder if that’s a bad sign?) I managed to talk him into a 10 minute massage last night, so we’ll start there. Oh glorious massages!
Breakfast
I slept really well last night but awoke this morning with a pounding headache. I don’t usually get serious headaches, so I’m hoping it goes away really soon.
Breakfast this morning began with coffee!
Lots of foam and cinnamon, please!
It also included a freaky deaky green protein pancake.
Time to change and drive to work. Hoping to take my favorite boot camp class today, too!
Question of the Morning
- If you could convince someone to agree to do something simple for you at home every day for an entire year, what would you want them to do?
I think a 10-minute massage before bed every night for a year would be amazing, but I could also totally get behind someone doing the dishes for me every day for a year. Our dishwasher broke more than a year ago, so that would be one heck of a fabulous treat.
Chelsea @ TableForOne says
I would want someone to cook me a lovely breakfast and brew me a good cup of coffee every day. Heaven!
Livi says
wash all the dishes!!!
Somer says
Massages every day sound pretty fantastic to me too. Or maybe having someone do my laundry! It’s not an everyday thing, but it’s my least favorite chore. Plus, always having clean sheets sounds pretty nifty!
Tia says
That’s great idea! – I’ve never thought to ask for a “service” for my birthday. Too bad my birthday was a couple of months ago. Dishes for a YEAR? Yes please! Or laundry…
Jen @ impossible jen says
either the dishes or vacuuming. i don’t have a dish washer and vacuuming is my least favorite but a must with pet hair.
Amy @ fitnessmeetsfrosting.com says
Hahaha completely agree with your choices. Dishes or massages! Best idea ever.
Mari @ BetterFoodandFitness says
I’ve been hinting at my husband for a book of “Good For 1 Back Rub” coupons every Christmas/birthday/anniversary for 2 years. My birthday is coming up…maybe this will be the year?!
Ashley says
Vacuuming for a year 🙂
Marielle says
OMG I would love to have someone do my dishes everyday, that sounds amazing! We don’t have a dishwasher and I dread having to do the dishes everyday!
Heather @ Housewife Glamour says
That’s such a great idea! I talk Scott into ten minute massages every now and then, but to know I am getting one for an entire year might just be the best gift ever. Happy Wednesday!
Nancy says
Can ‘chores’ be lumped into one wish? hahaha
Nancy says
Wait wait wait. Changed my mind. I’d love to have supper ready each night. That’s gotta be pretty awesome.
Alisha @ Alisha's Appetite says
Ummm I love this idea! I should bring this up with the hubby and cross my fingers he is down! Maybe he will accept a massage trade??

Hannah @ CleanEatingVeggieGirl says
That would be the BEST gift ever! Who needs “things” when you can have that??
Amanda says
My birthday is on April 28 and I told my husband that I want someone to come and deep clean our apartment!
Shel@PeachyPalate says
I’m 26 on the 21st…day after Easter!!! Happy soon to be birthday 🙂 I’d LOVE a massage everyday! I was only saying it the other day as I pretty much crawled up the stairs to the gym! I don’t have another half at the moment so it might be pricey! Hmmm…it would probably be to empty the dishwasher!!!
Nicole says
Massages would be sooo nice! 🙂 Great idea!
In addition to that, I’d choose: doing the dishes after every time I bake and cleaning out my car at the end of the day each day. (It’s amazing how much stuff I pile up….actually, it’s not amazing, it’s disgusting! haha!)
Heather@PrettyHealthyMostoftheTime says
I would love a foot rub every day! I could also do without folding laundry for a while!
Michelle @ A Healthy Mrs says
I’d definitely go for a head massage every day before bed — it’s so relaxing!
Lady Liberty Hen says
a cup of tea in bed every morning would be amazing and much appreciated!
Tara @ Rovin' Rambler says
I would take coffee in bed every morning for a year. When it does happen, it’s a beautiful thing!
Kelly says
I wish I could have someone come and make me thai food whenever I want, I’d be soooo happy. 500 pounds, but happy 🙂
Pua says
I could totally get behind the 10-minute massage every night… the only thing better? An hour-long massage! I’d also love my own personal sushi chef. Might as well go big!
Monica says
I would have someone wash/blow out my hair every day. I have often told my stylist that if I won the lottery (assuming one can win without playing somehow) I would hire her to do just that. Oh, it is glorious.
Alexis Teevens says
We share a birthday!!! Mine is on the 27th as well 🙂
Julie says
Woop woop!! Bday twins!
Eva says
when i was a little girl, it used to be my biggest wish to have someone drive me around at night so i could fall asleep every night in a car (love falling asleep in cars).
