T. G. I. F.

So it's Friday, one of the better days of the week for me since I can actually sleep in until 10:30 and catch up on all that lack of sleep I get during the week. Plus, it's always the morning after a long relaxing evening of bellydancing class, and since that always leaves me in a rather pleasant mood where I spend most of my commute home practicing dance moves and finding the rhythm in my music, I wake up on Friday mornings refreshed and mostly awake, rather than accidentally falling back asleep on my bed when I'm trying to pull my hair back with a hair-tie (this actually happened on Tuesday... my roommate had to prod me back awake) or scuttling around the kitchen ever-so-slowly putting together my morning coffee so that I might be able to function like a normal human being with a full night's rest. So thank you, Fridays, for being the sigh of relief of my week.

What I have to look forward to for the weekend:
-- lots of readings to do - catching up on my OOA&D, DSS, Animation, and doing my usual readings for SoftEngMeth and maybe, just maybe, if I have enough time, continue reading the book I borrowed from Jessa so that I might be able to read Snow Crash with the rest of the group for this month's book-to-read.
-- homework!! I finally got one of the two papers I am supposed to critique, so I intend to tackle that as soon as I get done with work, sponsor meetings, and finishing up the iteration release today. And, of course, my Sunday afternoons are dedicated to Steph and SoftEngMeth assignments.
-- chores - need to clean my animals' tank/cages, stock up on groceries, getting some laundry done, and clean my bathroom since everyone keeps using mine and dirties it up much faster.
-- SFFU!!! My saturday late afternoon-evenings are set aside to SFFU - the movies/shows watched are pleasantly entertaining (as well as the people you meet in SFFU), it gives me some time to work on my sister's scarf, and possibly even teach other members of SFFU how to crochet (I've been considering offering lessons to as many people who want them during that time, but I currently do not have the supplies to do more than one-on-one lessons right now).
-- Sunday, the Race for the Cure gathering of the girls - Jessa asked me, I asked her more about it, and decided it is something I don't want to miss. After all, it's easily within my range of walking tolerance for any given day (~3 miles), and I would be doing it for my grandmother (stage 4 lymphoma, started her first chemo session this week) and Lauren's mother (breast cancer, in remission again but this chemo session this past summer was the first time she lost all of her hair), and I would be doing it with people I know (since Denver scares me like most big cities and wouldn't dare do it alone - I'm a small town suburban girl, and Boulder is about the extent of big city tolerance that makes me comfortable).
-- somewhere eating and sleeping is involved, I hope...

Well, that about wraps up that list - now it's time for me to go hunt down some breakfast... I think there might still be some leftover lamb in the fridge (huzzah to Bryan's dad for outdoing himself this year on Rosh Hashanah and supplying us with a fair portion of the leftovers!!) but I may just make a standard breakfast involving a frying pan and eggs-over-medium. :P
