I'd Like One More Weekend Day Please...

Who decided that the weekend should only be two days long?  Lately it just hasn't been enough for me.  I posted the title of this post as my facebook status last night, and I got about 20 "likes".  It seems I'm not the only one with this unrealistic wish.

This past weekend my best friend got married and I was in the wedding party.  While I was thrilled to be a bridesmaid (first time!), I was kind of bummed when it was Sunday afternoon and I was getting ready for the workweek... I didn't get anything done! 

Me, all dolled up and having fun!
Looking back at the pictures on my camera from Saturday night, I'm starting to understand that sometimes it's not about how much "stuff" you get done.  Sometimes it's about the time spent with family and friends, the meals shared, and the little bit of extra sleep that makes a weekend really great.  I'm not sure what I would have actually done if I was given an extra day of the weekend, but I'd like to think that I would spend it cuddling with my baby girl and cooking a big dinner to share with my extended family.  There is always next weekend for folding laundry or dusting bookshelves. 

Do you have a special way to tackle those valuable weekend hours so that you can get work done and have fun?  I'd love to hear about your weekend :)
