A couple that I know go to vacation at the same place every year, rent the same house, eat at the same resturants. They it find the routine very relaxing.
The same thing goes for folks that go into the same resturant every wednesday and order the same sandwich. “I’ll have my usual”
Do you have a routine that you follow every week? every year? What are some of your usuals?
Re: My Usual
No:(
Re: My Usual
We used to have a 'usual' back when we were living in Melbourne. It was Saturday brunch. Most times we wouldn't even have to order. The guy would just nod and bring it over.
Re: My Usual
My first night back at home at my parents house... I always have to have coffee at the same coffee shop.
I always eat the "chicken cream soup" at Shezan in Lahore. Nothing else from the menu. A must!
Re: My Usual
Once a week, I go to starbucks and get a coffee.
On the weekends, I try to go visit my family and on Saturday morning I have a routine --> after breakfast --> go to the bank --> post office --> purchase some veggies/supplies for a good cooking experiment that evening --> pick up any movies from the public library (free dvd's!!!) --> help mom make a light lunch --> go home then go through my finances (do i have any credit card bills that need to be paid, any utility bills that need to go out)
Then Sunday morning --> oil in hair overnight that I wash out on Sunday morning --> waxing/epilating/tweezing/bleaching/etc --> pedicure stuff/nailpolish/exfoliations, etc --> go through coupon clipper and cut any good coupons --> grocery shopping for the week --> go home, relax, watch a movie, maybe go to the beach.
It didn't used to be this way. Weekends used to be occupied by sheer studying every minute, just like my weekdays were.
I'm trying to build in some happy hour time as well each week with friends. Happy hour - not as in drinks, but what I've found is lounges/bars/restaurants that do happy hour also give discounts on food too. I found a sushi place where you can get an awesome roll of sushi for like 3 dollars on a happy hour time period. That's amazing. Or we find a new restaurant in the area to try out and we go there.
Re: My Usual
^ sounds like fun PCG. The saturday morning bit.
I have a mustard tael in my hair routine on the days I work from home. I didn't want to admit to it :)
Re: My Usual
mustard oil? in your hair? really?
Re: My Usual
yup - I think by far it's the best oil for hair.
Re: My Usual
I go to visit my grandparents every Friday! <3

Though I dont have a routine but I can understand this mind set. To me also, familiarity is very comforting. When I find something I like, I try try to stick with that instead of experimenting.
Re: My Usual
I have rarely vacationed anywhere more than once. Maybe couple places close to home... I like adventures I guess.
Re: My Usual
I have lunch with a friend every tuesday
I have tea with my mom whenever im home.
I do a facial on me and then my mom 
Re: My Usual
sushi lunch on friday every 2 weeks same place and the same usual stuff, may try one new thing each time.
Re: My Usual
I used to do the sushi thing too. Once a week - same exact order.
And then...I began running out of money...and I was getting fat....
I miss my sushi...
Re: My Usual
Yup same with sushi. Always the 50 % off menu. 
hehe:
always the same “vacation” spot. same few restaurants with the same order. I like to experiment and try different things though.
Re: My Usual
We eat out every weekend, different restaurants but my husband normally gets the usual from each of them. I like to try different things and sometimes it turns out good, sometimes not.
Vacation spot.. well my favorite is definitely a trip to Pak(if that counts as one) but if we decide to go somewhere other than Pak it has to be different everytime.. it seems like a waste of money to see the same place again and again..plus I like change so the idea of a new place is charming itself. Maybe after we're done visiting all of them we can shortlist some and make them regular.
Re: My Usual
Yeah I have a routine- I study for 7 hours in a library basement, take a 30 minute lunch with a short clip to watch and then study for 8 more hours, its fun- you guys should try it some time. and oh so comforting!
and when I want an advanture- I study outside the library for a while. But the last time I did that, rain traumatized me (and my books) so I'm sticking with the comforting bit for now.
Yup, my life back in college.
Most people miss college. I don’t.
