Ahhh, Sundays!

If someone asked me which day, Saturday or Sunday, is my favorite weekend day, my vote goes to Sunday. I try to schedule all chores - laundry, cleaning bathrooms, straightening up, garbage - to Saturdays. Some things you just can't do until the last minute like grocery shopping because the coupons come with the Sunday papers (yes, I subscribe to 2 printed papers). For the most part, though, I try to do as much as I can on Saturday so I can feel like I've had a condensed weekend on 1, not 2 days.

So how do I usually spend my "weekend" Sunday? Ironically, it's usually trying to fit it as many non-chores as possible. Non-chores are those things you don't have to do week after week but they ARE things you should or need to eventually get done. These include things like shopping for clothes, shoes, presents, etc. It also includes haircuts, visits with friends and family, or going to a movie. Rarely does it involve sitting around reading a book, getting a couple of hours more sleep, having a leisurely brunch with Clay or just...doing absolutely nothing. Actually, I can't do nothing but that's another to topic for another day.

I don't know if feeling like I've had a "weekend" is the result of feeling like I've accomplished enough (whatever that is) or that I've set aside one day to do as I please. But I do like my Sundays because it's the one weekend day to catch up with the rest of my life.
