The busiest part of my work week is the weekend....this can be a big bummer for spending time hanging out with friends and making night time plans, especially when I need to wake up at 6am on a Sunday morning. Something I used to love about working at the credit union was getting a full two days off Saturday and Sunday to cavorts and saunter around with the R man...farmers market plus brunch on a Saturday morning, partying til the wee hours on a Saturday night, recuperate on a Sunday and be fresh and ready for Monday...
well...
that doesn't happen anymore. But! This does mean I get a full fabulous day off during the week!
Of course this leads to activities and fun of the individual variety as R man is usually off industrializing himself, but honestly, I kind of like to have a full day to myself....for errands! A full stress free day to get stuff done! The Minnesotan in me is beaming!
- bike rides as long or short as I'd like
- laundry day
- my credit union is actually open!
- two hours in the grocery store wandering about *btw, who the heck are all of these other people shopping on a week day at 3pm? Are there that many of us with a week day off?!?
- time to sort out paper work and organize the house
- cooking for the week
- mowing the lawn
- catching up on emails and facebook and blogs!
Btw, here's some pics from my last week day off:
Some friends of ours recently moved and she happened to be my size and just last week the rules were changed at work where we can wear whatever we want...and I didn't really have any clothes that weren't for traveling or for a wedding!
I know! What luck!!!
I also made a salad for lunch from the basil and cucumbers from our garden! (the bread is from my bakery) Our herb plants of Basil, Oregano, Mint and Sage are doing great! We're getting about a cucumber or two every few days and the tomatoes are beginning to change to a lovely orange! I managed to kill off most of my zucchini plants by adding espresso grounds to the dirt, thinking I was aiding in their growth...nope....not so much.
R man just returned from a Bachelor's weekend in Chicago for Lollapalooza. Many a beer was drunk, a grunt was made, a concert was experienced and a video game played. He was very happy to come home and eat one of his famous "mega salads".
Just like how I very much enjoy my week day weekends....the man is very much allowed to go off and explore the world and enjoy his weekends! The joys of marriage...interdependence and all that good stuff!
Well, it's my day off today! Time to start some laundry!
***30 minutes later***....upon further intensive thought on the unfairness of doing laundry on my day off verses R man partying for 3 days straight for his days off and the conversing of this fact between us....I will not be washing his dirty underwear today! He'll do it later. Time for pilates!

The worst thing about working M-F is the bank, post office, doctors offices etc are all open during the week so it is hard to carve out time for those things! Also, when you do get a chance to go grocery shopping, it's a mad house. However, I went to Costco the other day on a Wednesday around 11 and it was a madhouse anyway!
