Once upon a time I used to live for Friday nights. Where was I going to party it up? Who was going to be there? Staying out until 2:00 a.m. was a regular occurrence. Saturdays were for Beverly Hills 90210 marathons and hangover recoveries.
And then I got a real job and real responsibilities.
Now on a Friday afternoon all I think about is what sort of take-out food I should get. It is pretty common for me to be in bed by 9:00 on a Friday night. Every now and then a group of people from work will decide to grab some drinks after work, but that usually results in me getting home around 6:00 p.m. with a slight buzz and then not knowing what the hell to do with myself. If I keep drinking the end result will not be pretty, but if you stop, then you are ready to call it a night by 8:00.
Umm… when did I turn 60? Seriously. WTF??? Have you ever noticed that Friday night tv shows suck? Yeah, that’s because you should be out and socializing on Friday evenings. Not holed up in your house watching Reba reruns. (Oh go ahead and judge me).
So yeah, I would like to get out of this Friday night funk. Starting immediately. I can’t figure out if I need to force myself to get out and be social or do something seriously productive. Crafting Night? Grocery shopping? (Lame!) Bar hopping? Going to see a movie? Book Club? Dinner with friends? What do y’all do on a Friday night?
