For those of you who don’t know, today is Pamper Chrissie Day. (For some reason, most major calendars forget to mark this holiday. Go figure.) I lay in bed this morning for an extra half hour to plan the festivities.

First, I will set up my lawn chair in the back yard. Next, I will cut myself an obscenely large piece of chocolate cake for breakfast. Armed with my book, a cup of coffee and a dab of suntan lotion (just like my mom taught me), I will proceed to bask in the sunlight for a few hours. Mother Nature remembed Pamper Chrissie Day and has sent in the sunshine so all appears to be moving according to plan.

After a few hours of relaxing in the sun, I will return inside to take a nice nap on the sofa with my dog. All that sunshine will make me sleepy I’m sure. Probably another piece of chocolate cake to tide me over till dinner and voila! Another successful Pamper Chrissie Day!

Is this the life or what?
