Oh, the possibilities!

 (via)

Well, the weekend is here again...almost. First, we must celebrate Friday!

I do love Friday, even in the summer time. There's just something so celebratory about the last day of the work week, even when I'm not working!

So, let's fall in love today with all the possibilities that could happen this weekend....

~~~~~~~~~

You could....

Sleep late


Get up early


Get a golden tan by the pool


Or on the beach


Meet up with friends for coffee


Do a little blogging


Study, like I will be doing


Send mail to a friend


Do some shopping, thrifting, or antiquing


 Catch fireflies


Arrange a beautiful bouquet


Go to the farmer's market


 Love on your animals


Love on your sweetie


So many options! What will you be doing this weekend?

    Since my son was invited to a weekend getaway with a friend, I think I'll be lovin' my sweetie. Our anniversary is coming up and we will not be able to go out and celebrate the actual day. So, I think this will have to be the weekend. Yay!

    Sleeping late sounds (love the image of the girl sleeping in the poppies.) good as does the farmer's market.

    I'm wishing you a great weekend, too!

    This post is so full of fun options, I don't know what I want to do more, sleep in or wake up early!

    We'll go to our garden party supper club tonight, and then tomorrow we'll spend the afternoon relaxing on a friend's boat. Not too shabby!

    Hi sweetie! Sorry I haven't been around this week. Things have been crazy with bday festivities but I just read back and found out about your Aunt. I'm sending you and your family good positive thoughts. I know how cancer effects people. My father-in-law passed away 6years ago and then my best friend last April from breast cancer and this April I just found out that my other best friend has brain cancer. It's a horrible disease but there have been so many advances. Positivity and strength are key. I'm hoping and praying for the best for your Aunt.

    Hope you have a wonderful weekend, sweetie. Hugs & kisses! xoxo

    Lovely post. :)

    I'll probably be sleeping in late, as well as going bowling with a couple of friends, then probably just relax in the ac since it's going to be feeling like 110 degrees here for the next few days.

    Have a wonderful weekend.

    I will be doing a few of those things this weekend! Although I have to admit, fireflies make me really nostalgic . . . fireflies are one of the things I miss most about the south (we don't have them in California)!

    What are you studying for this summer??

    xoxoxo Julie! happy weekend!

    Hi, just found your blog. What a fun post. I totally agree with you that Friday has a special feel. I don't work an 8-5 job anymore, but I do remember the feeling I got around 4 on Friday afternoons. Weekends are the best. We like coffee and the paper in bed, visiting bookstores, shopping, and dinner with friends.

    I want to do all of these things...

    The first pic with the balloons makes my heart soar... I adore balloons! And the leopard bikini in one of the pics has me swooning... this post is just all kinds of fabulous (like you!).
