Oh Friday. What you used to mean to us. Late nights of steam-blowing debauchery, or at least a relaxing date with the TV and your couch. Waking up on Saturday morning (afternoon?) - the only decision weighing heavy on your mind is whether you should reheat that leftover pizza, or eat it cold. Then there's the languorous Sunday afternoon of shopping or rollerblading or hell, even catching up on some work so you start the week ahead of schedule.

Ha! Ahead of schedule? Free time?! What is that anymore? Now that you're planning a wedding, free time is dead and schedules are shot. I recall just about every waking minute worrying about and planning my wedding. In fact, even a few non-waking minutes were also spent thinking about the wedding. Like once, I had a dream starring me walking down the aisle- in a puffy green and yellow down-filled dress. I still don't like to talk about it.

So it feels bad, sometimes, all this planning and plotting and worrying and scheduling. It may be the only time in your life that even being months away from a deadline feels like not enough. But in a way, this planning frenzy that eats every last minute of your "old school" free time is good practice. It's a nice dividing line between single life and being married. Once you wed it up, your free time won't really be yours anymore. There will be far less table dancing with friends or eating cold pizza alone.

But your "new" free time will likely be a lot more fun and full of interesting new activities. Simply running his errands with him and grabbing lunch at a sports bar can be a surprisingly fun way to catch up after a frenetic work week. He may introduce you to new hobbies, new buddies, new habits that you never even considered. And maybe, if you're lucky, you might have found yourself a man who likes his woman a bit lazy. And his pizza cold.
