The weekend, Marley, and me


I absolutely loved this week.
I guess Wednesday’s mid-week holiday had something to do with it.
Small wonder that I was chirpy the entire week.
I wish this would become a regular fixture, Wednesday-being-a-holiday scene; in fact, if this were to happen, I swear I won’t mind working on Saturdays.
The weekend’s here again, and I have all the ingredients for a smashing one, viz., movie tickets for big bro and me, plans of some retail-therapy with best friend, and re-union with a college mate.
Some other plans are also already forming in my mind, but I have to take care not to exhaust myself completely.
Started reading John Grogan’s “Marley and Me,” last night.(had to positively plead with good friend’s younger sis to let me borrow it). That I had taken chocolates thoughtfully, could have done the trick, and after some nail-biting moments, she finally agreed(though a trifle unwillingly), to let me borrow it.
I hugged the book close to my chest, and invoked all the Gods that she shouldn’t change her mind.
From the moment I turned the first page of the book, and saw the goofy Labrador, Marley—he of the heart-melting chocolate-brown eyes, I could scarcely put the book down.
A fantastic read, I was doubling over with laughter, late last night, reading about Marley’s antics; much to the annoyance of best friend, who was attacking a particularly iffy subject—geography.
I'm gonna keep you posted about Marley; but as for now, I’ve gotta go and make some more plans for the weekend.
Cheers till then.
