perfect friday night

October 29, 2010

Am I the only one out there who lives for lazy Friday nights? Call me crazy, but there’s nothing better.

Sure, I love going out some weekends – date nights with the husband, catching up with friend or family. But some weekends, all I want to do is chill out and relax.

There’s nothing like getting home, changing into your favorite sweats & slippers, and being lazy for the rest of the night.

Don’t even tell me you don’t rush to change out of your dress pants & heels like I do. I won’t believe you. I’m surprised I even make it to my bedroom to change!

 

Sometimes Friday nights get a little wild and crazy around here – especially when the Husband works late.

 

I had quite the intense photography session with an eggplant this evening. Things got a little heated.

 

I know you want me… You know I want ‘cha".”

 

The best Friday nights also include the majority of your meal being leftovers. I blame the below picture on horrible lighting. But I can promise you my potato tart stayed together much better today. If only I weren’t so impatient yesterday every day.

  

Okay, okay – I’ll admit it. The reason why I wear sweatpants immediately when I get home is so I can eat more. There. I said it.

The best part about this particular night?

No one is around to fight me for the chair.

Quesetion: What is your ideal Friday night?

I’m relaxing tonight as well. I have a swim meet tomorrow so I’m catching up on blogs, homework and my sleep hehe.

PS: I love those shoes. I have them in black. They are so warm and comfy.

I used to swim in high school, so I totally get the staying in to rest up!

I have to agree with you, lazy Friday nights are the best. I often feel too tired to do anything else.
I’m such a Grandma :)

My Fridays are always lazy because I am exhausted. If I were to go out drinking, I’d fall asleep on the bar.

I am glad to know I am not the only one. I have no idea how people go out really late on Fridays. I mean, do they actually enjoy it or is everyone just wishing they were at home?

and YAAAAAAY I’m glad you’re back!

Take it from the girl who just got dragged to a Halloween party — I don’t enjoy it and I do wish I had been at home all night!

It’s so nice to hear other people say they like lazy Friday nights in. Sometimes I feel completely alone on this :(

Apparently we should all stay home and send the men out! Oh if only you didn’t live in Colorado!

Love lounging around the house in my pj’s with some good food, tv and my iPad on a Friday night. It’s the perfect day to unwind from the week. And then on Saturday I’m ready to get up and go.

I like taking it easy on Fridays, for sure! It’s the perfect time to catch up on all the TV shows I missed during the week!

Have you ever seen the Everybody Loves Raymond episode where the father takes it upon himself to unbutton his jeans during dinner to make room? Haha! I can say I’ve honesty worn sweatpants for a little wiggle room. No shame! ;)

I think Friday nights in can be a lot of fun. Sometimes I feel as though I should be out like most others. But I do what I want! Sounds like we had a similar evening. Relaxing, sweats and all!

I live for lazy Friday nights too! I’d gotten halfway through my movie when my friends from back home invited me to play Halo Reach on xbox, and then I was up until almost 2a. Eek! So much for a lazy Friday Night. Definitely prefer to curl up with a book, magazine, and/or movie though :)

I LOVE lazy Fridays!! I have NO idea how people my age (or any age) have the energy to go out and party on Friday nights!! I am dead after a long week of work, school, and homework…going out is the last thing I want to do. Now that it’s winter, I definitely rush to my bedroom and change into comfy sweats, thick socks and a sweatshirt. So cozy :)

Glad to know I’m not the only one!

I’m glad I’m not the only one who a. loves lazy Friday nights, and b. changes into cozy clothes immediately. I always say I’ll finally “go out” one of these Fridays, but seriously - I think Friday is when my body just holds up the “time out” flag. I am in bed by 9:30 - the earliest I ever am - because I’m practically falling asleep on the couch. Whoops.
I call it “catching up from my younger years.” Not that I’m that old, but…

I was definitely in bed at 9:30 last night. You make me feel good about myself Jess!

Since I’m in college, a lot of my Friday nights involve going out, but I like to balance it out with enough nights of staying at home in my sweats. I’m definitely not one of those people who can party every night!

I spent my Friday night under a cozy blanket being sick, haha…but there’s something so comforting about relaxing on a Friday night, ya know?

I love eggplant - yum! Especially when they’re in a hot photoshoot ;)

I love lazy Friday’s when I’m at home in PA!! My apartment in the city is always kind of boring in my mind, but my parents have like a million channels that just make staying in so fun :) Hope you had a great night!!
