A moment of silence, please, in praise of three-day weekends. Three-day weekends are most excellent for, among other things:

1. Justifying a four-hour marathon of I Love the 80s.
2. Paying woefully overdue bills.
3. Adding checkmarks on the wedding to-do list under "pick up Bryan's suit" and "compile dance song list."
4. Consoling myself with a funny, light movie after being horrifically disappointed by a much-hyped sequel.
5. Big breakfasts.
6. Spending time with loved ones.
7. The park.
8. Catching up on all the fantastic stories posted by Jess from Vietnam.
9. Finally buying that George Foreman grill I've been eyeing. (And I got a free waffle-maker!)
10.Updating my blog after almost two weeks.

We should have these three-day weekends more often, don't you agree?
