"WASTING SATURDAY"

I don't know why it is, but I love that....

Do you know how you sometimes wake up, knowing you only have two days of your very own, but you choose to snooze in and out, or watch old movies, and just plain "BLOW OFF" the day? Does that sound familiar?

"I worked for it, I earned it, so screw it!"

Call it a pure "Fiddle Around Day". Nothing is accomplished, nothing much taken care of, I know I will regret it, but it FEELS SO GOOD!

I love a day when I can just plain "Float..."

I love those days. I'm hoping to accomplish one here soon. I've got plans this Saturday, but the next one might be a wasted day...

EDIT: Thanks for the sig

That's pretty much my SOP, Wolfie.....On "day 1"......I usually get the coffee pot started about 1000 (5 min after I wake up).....putz around, drink coffee, eat breakfast...get the paper, play on the "net"......about 1:00pm or 2:00pm....I might do something constructive...but just maybe......Usually "day 2" I might get a project or 2 done.......

When you get up at 0430 every morning like I do......the 1st day off usually involves sleeping in.......

I get so few hours of sleep during the week, that Sunday is my sleep in day. I stay in bed until about noontime. Helps me recoup after a hectic week, and I feel refreshed to start another. As for a full weekend of doing nothing. I had one of those this year. Although it was a nice break, I did feel guilty for not doing my usual weekend chores.

Boy, I feel like that every day.

Oh, the woes of college kids.

Course, I do get the days that just plain suck. Class, homework, and work all crammed in the same day. But, 4 out of 7 days are like Saturdays.
