Today is Friday and I’m on vacation which makes this SUPER Free Friday. Which means I don’t have to work AND I can do whatever I want. But I started Free Friday the right way. Last night, I got a huge craving for Cap’t Crunch. As per my dieting rules, I don’t eat past 9 P.M. So, I went to bed dreaming about this sweetened corn bliss. I woke up this morning and poured myself a big bowl of Cap’t Crunch WITH Pirate Shaped crunchberries. Holy crap. My two favorite things in the world… Cap’t Crunch AND pirates!
Well it has been a while since I’ve had this beautiful creation. I sat out on my patio and ate my dry cereal while reading Lewis Black’s book. Could I start the day any better? Today the free Friday includes eating lunch with my friend. Her wedding is about two weeks away and so far, so good–she hasn’t turned into a bridezilla. I also have to clean my house because I’ve put it off all week and it must be done. But it’s FREE Friday and I’m choosing to do it because I want my palace sparkling clean.
Free Friday is a concept given to me by Linda my first year of teaching. Although when I brought it up to her, she just looked at me oddly. But I’ve taken it out of the classroom and incorporated into my personal life. When I am working, which does happen on occasion, nothing gives me more glee that knowing when I wake up on Friday that it’s Free Friday. Sure, I’ll work but I know when I get home, I don’t have to go to the gym, I can have that pizza I’m craving, or the two hour nap. Why? Because it’s free Friday… liberate yourself.
