working for the weekend

we all work for the long weekend. the great thing about the three-day weekend is that you can spread out your vegetation. you see normally, i need one day to do laundry, clean the house and play hours and hours of games. i can't seem to get much else done knowing that is all on the to-do list. but with the three-day weekend i can guiltlessly loaf on a saturday and a sunday, knowing that i can get my act together on monday. over memorial day weekend i usually do wish i had made out-of-town plans. it all too often comes to this. fortunately i had two days of plans - bowling one evening and governors' island another. really i long for the ocean and the open road. what makes me sad is that i am not longing for the healthy cooking like i used to. in my lonely weekend posturing i ate a whole box of flatbread pizza and am ready to break into the chocolate shortly. there is broccoli in the fridge, but the thought of steaming it bores me.
