Sleeping In

Ah, to awaken without urgency, free of any call to rise and meet the day save at one's own pace!  Such is the stuff weekends are made of, or at least should be made of.  With the wispy ghosts of nighttime dreams slipping through the golden glimmers of daydreams, the sleeper wakes and is at peace.  To those who say that sleeping late is a waste of the day, I reply that jumping with unneeded precipitousness from bed is a waste of the most relaxing moments of the week.  Let the sleeper lie a little longer, and let him enter the day rejuvenated and replenished.

Downtown Art Walk

I'm catching up today on the posts from Friday and Saturday, as well as the one for Sunday.  Friday evening I had the pleasure of attending a few galleries during the First Friday art walk in downtown Raleigh.  It's hardly ideal conditions for perusing the art on display what with the crowds of people; it is however excellent conditions for snagging free sangria and hors d'oeuvres, which you'd better believe I did!

Weekend Lounging

My post for Saturday is so belated that it's now solidly Sunday, but here you go.  Yesterday I enjoyed the finest that Saturday afternoon has to offer: quiet lounging with family and a good book.  I may have dozed off at one point.  It was glorious.  I'm all for doing things on the weekends--working on fun projects or traveling, visiting museums, seeing movies, etc.  But I'm also a staunch proponent of just relaxing and doing nothing.  Because there simply aren't enough occasions for that during the week, and sometimes you need to chill out.  I hope that you all have some good down time this weekend to relax and do nothing.
