Softness All Around

I took a long, indulgent bath yesterday.

I really love taking baths.

They make me feel super feminine and really, really, relaxed.

It was a perfectly luxurious bath. The house was still and quiet - Dan had taken the boys to the park. Sunlight filtered in through delicate lace curtains, casting a heavenly glow about the room. Spring chirped sweetly outside - pleasantly, peacefully communing with me.

Pure decadence.

As I was drying off, I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror. I was pleased by what I saw. Through the mist I could see softness all around.

My hair hung long and black, wetly clinging to my back - smooth, shiny, lush...and then skin...

lots and lots of skin - smooth, soft, dewey...golden tones radiating softness and warmth.

I turned to see a different view - more softness all around.

Smooth skin stretched seductively across a softly rounded belly. Soft skin floated over a teacup navel and rose up to greet soft, well-shaped breasts while gently melting down into the soft, secret place below.

I marveled at the sensuous curve of my hips leading down long, tapering legs - lean, muscular, tan-ness sinking sweetly into the soft arch of a delicate foot.

Reaching across the sink, I cleared the mirror and beheld a most girlish vision. My face looked soft and pretty - cheeks flushed youthfully, eyes danced flirtatiously, mouth waited eagerly, full and kissable...

Now where did I put my glasses?

Yes - Baths are so luxurious and sensual :) I had the pleasure of indulging in one in Miss Leenie's Posh Spa. So relaxing - with the millions of candles lit, mirrors of all different size & shapes all around, and the pink Italian marble flooring. I took a deep breath and sunk deeper into the clawfoot tub that swallowed me whole :) It's no wonder you love your baths ;) Btw - you do have amazing skin - it looks absolutely sumptuous, glowing, and smooth when you are glistening in your bath - bathing beauty ;)

Jas - You are a sweet talker...but when the fog cleared and the glasses went on a very different image did I behold;)

Debbie - When are you coming to the spa againb? A glass of wine with the bath makes it even better!! But you're such a light-weight I'm afraid you might fall asleep in there...Love you!

Lillypad - floating around in the tub - a beautiful sight I'm sure - fog or no fog.

Leenie, you get to take baths?!!!!
Tell your husband to get his ass over here and take my kids to the park...I haven't had a nice bubble bath since Clinton was president.

Consider it done! But you have to provide a case of beer - Sam Adams Lite...and if you have a sporting event on tv he will probably spend the entire weekend.
