My weekends are the smorgashboard of what did not get done during the week. Errands, appointments, shopping, and so forth that just did not fit into that busy weekly schedule of Monday to Friday. Then, there is the homework with approaching deadlines that screams I must be done. The neglected housework to catch-up on the weekends and laundry. If all of that is not enough, I try to squeeze in making a few extra bucks on the internet. The one thing that is a must though is recharging my batteries and getting plenty of rest. The weekends is that catch all of everything that is left after the week is over for me, and taking time out so that I'm fresh for the coming week.

if the weather is not bad, i'd prefer to travelling, or sports, like climbing, etc. and also shopping with friends, or have a parties with friends. but if bad weather, stay in, reading, or surfing in the internet, listening to musics, or watching movies on the computer.

I like to visit family, take it easy, have no special plans. I like to go to church on Sundays and out to eat with friends. I like to go see my mother, and sometimes we go out to eat. It is just a special weekend when I get to do these things. Have a great day.

nothing beats staying at home on weekends for us. we hate hitting the malls because it becomes really crowded from friday to sunday. cinema tickets are usually sold out, and the price is more expensive. (there's a 2-dollar off when you buy on weekdays/weeknights here). i'd prefer reading a good book at home, or doing Facebook all day on a usual saturday.

I work on the weekends, but when I do have time off, I like to relax and hang out. I watch movies or a ball game, cook some good food or spend time outdoors with family and friends.

Weekends mean a lot to a lot of people. They see it as a medium of enjoyment and fun. But for me it does not mean that much. Well I am very busy in the weekdays and hardly find any time to do the daily chores and when the weekend comes I have a pile of house works to do. And I even find the weekends too short to do those things. So the work list drags on till the next weekend. I hardly find much time even in the weekends to have fun or anything. Sometimes I feel very desperate for this but at the same time I try to console myself that I am having work and enjoying whatever I am doing. Well that is as it is but nothing much is in my hands that I can do. So I am trying to have fun wherever possible.

yes...you are right mate..!! it brings with it lots of smile..it ia also the time to introspect and also to plan for our future. What my idea is that always try to have some quality time with yourself so that you can think where you are going , where you wanted to go, what should be done and all this stuff..It will really improve our abilities..love to hear from you people :) go on :

Hey Jannayak, This is one of the general question and good one. i always wait for weekend although it just ended few moments ago even. What i love to do most in weekends is sleeping, listening music, cooking food talking to my frdz on phone. I don't like movie much but i like shopping. wish to drive, go for long drive but no g/f so no use of it yaar

I don't do enough on my weekends off. I have no great passions in my life right now. I have no hobbies that I really enjoy to do. Right now I am at a loss and don't know what to do with myself. Today is Saturday and I am restless again and don't what to do with myself. No pity party here though. I am not feeling sorry for myself or anything like that, just a fact of life. I am working on trying to find something that I feel some passion for but so far it isn't working. I bought a pair of skates this last winter and went skating once and liked it but not great passion and didn't go again, will have to do more next winter. I bought a new bathing suit last summer and wore it three times. I went to the local community centre and went swimming, liked it again, but no great passion for it. Plus my bathing suit is way too big on me now because I have lost 25 pounds since I bought it. I bought a bike last year and rode it about a dozen times but hope to ride it more this year, maybe, again no great passion for it. These are not excuses but reality for me right now. I think I am lonely since I broke up with my husband 2 years ago. I need to find another man to do those things with, the skating and swimming and biking, then maybe I would feel some passion for them.

My weekends are little different from my weekdays. We are retired and my husband is disabled, so I happily spend my time caring for him. He is such an awesome person! He can no longer speak or use his right side at all, but his beautiful smile and sparkling eyes greet me each morning. That starts me out with a happy heart. I then bathe him, change his clothing, check his blood sugar, give him his meds and shots before putting him into his wheelchair. He then decides what he wants for breakfast and answers yes to one of the selections I give him. After breakfast, I make sure he is warm and cozy before doing housework. Throughout the day, I answer his various calls for assistance. As nine p.m. approaches, he tires and I give him his meds, recheck his blood sugar, give him needed shots and a snack because his sugar tends to drop severely at night which can cause him to have a diabetic crash. I tuck him in, give him a kiss and take the next couple of hours to finish washing supper dishes, straightening the house before going to bed. I know during the night I will be getting up anywhere from two to five times to help him. It's a good life and I'm glad he's still with me. How blessed we are!

For me, Saturdays are typically just like another day of the week for us because my husband typically works on Saturdays. However, we like to spend Sunday doing something as a family. We will go hiking or watch movies. Sometimes we will go to eat dinner with either my mother or my husband's parents. If we are going to do anything with our friends we tend to do that on Saturday nights much like many people do on Friday nights.

Things that cannot or improper to be done would be carried out during weekend times, and after a long tiring work week, of course we should rest ourselves completely, so firstly we should have a long enough good sleep, but not too much on it, or your holiday would be wasted, you wouldnot have time to do what you really want to do. AS to me, the weekends has just passed away, I would like to tell you about what I've done during it. Yesterday it was Sat. and I overslept into 10am the next day, damm it, I really hate that, cos there was little time for me to do what in need. So, today I got up at a proper time, and then went out for a hiking until about 2 pm in the afternoon when I came back. You know I'm living on the sea coast, so when I walked to the sea side, I kept staying there for quite a while listening to the voice of the waves. And maybe I was just staying too closely to the water, I was hit by a wave. Then, weekends has almost gone, I simply just sat down enjoying a good movie "District 9".

Hi jannayak!^^ I love how you put it! Yes, the sound of weekend really does bring a 1000 watt smile on my face. LOL Well, because the weekdays are so full of work, pressure, stress, and problems! That's why it's always Thank God It's Friday on Fridays. When it's Saturday, I have the excuse to wake up late even until the sun comes up high.^^;; Weekends are my time for relaxation and personal grooming. This is when i do nail clipping, eyebrow plucking, (underarm hair plucking too LOL), manicure, pedicure, and all that. ^^ I also do some shopping and doing the grocery. Sometimes, I go out with my little niece or my little nephew. I wish I can go out with both of them but I can't because just one of them is too much to handle! ^^;; Weekend is also the time when I answer my letters, watch movies on dvds, and the movies and shows I've downloaded. Weekend is totally a relaxing time!

I do sleep too. I like to sleep, it feels like my cells are being healthy when I am sleeping. Generally, during weekends I wake up late , around 10am or 11am. When I wake up I still have my breakfast. I usually watch television during that time. AT 12pm I will be having my lunch and I will go take a bath. I will feel sleepy after taking a bath. I do watch television and later I will sleep again. When I wake up in the afternon, I eat again adn do my writing stuff and little bit planning. And watch television again. I am usually at home during weekends, because it is weekend, it is time for rest and a time for me. A time to energize so we need to sleep. I hate going out during weekends, when I have a date during that time, it is really a big sacrifice to me because during weekends I am very lazy.

Hiya jannayak, Relax as much as possible take a break from routine too all I can. I like to shop on a Friday as much as possible so I have more of the Weekend free for me little me whoopee. Weekends can be entertaining without really going anywhere in particular. Sleep is my second nature so more of that also.
