Friends Day

When Marcie mentioned we should have a marathon day of watching Friends episodes, I thought, “That would be fun.”  But when it actually came to fruition I thought, “This is really amazingly fun.”

Saturday I got together with some friends and we had a full Friends day episode marathon.  It was suppose to be from 8am to 8pm, but some of us stayed later…like 9:00ish.  We started the first episode around 8:30am and didn’t stop.  Boom, boom, boom.  Episode after episode after episode.

I joked that I may never mention on my blog just how many episodes we watched because after doing the math of 33 episodes x 23 minutes per episode…well, you can do the math, I said I felt a little shameful.  But then I thought about it more and the shame turned into awesomeness.  And honestly, it was completely glorious.  It was lazy and fun and we laughed so much and we ate yummy food and drank yummy drinks and enjoyed each other’s company and I had a permanent body indention in a black bean bag.  The only time I removed myself from that bean bag was either to A) get more food or drink or B) to pee.  Amazing right????

We had everything planned out…breakfast, lunch, dinner, drinks and snacks. Everyone took part and was responsible for something.  I was in charge of breakfast mimosas and desserts.  And because it was a Friends party all drinks had to be served in giant mugs…even cranberry mimosas (1/3 OJ, 1/3 cranberry juice and 1/3 champaign).

Susan made a kick-a banner.  Seriously.

Marcie even brought her mini popcorn machine.  Whaaaaattt????

And Marcie’s husband Nick did this crazy chalk art on Susan’s chalkboard.  Susan may never ever erase her chalkboard again.

And I don’t want to completely rub it in, but there were even tshirts.  This was serious people.  We go big or go home.

I look tired, but I had just laid in a bean bag and done nothing…besides work on my taxes and watch Friends for like 13 hours.  It’s a hard job, but I gladly took on the responsibility of no one except myself for the entire day.  Tough gig.

And why yes, I do keep all my PPA receipts in a brown paper bag.  I’m super professional people.

And that is how you throw a very relaxing Friends day.  I highly recommend you plan one for yourself and your ladies asap.  It’s an extremely good idea.

Happy Monday!
