A Wednesday evening with Ferris Bueller

How often do we break from our weekday routine and do impromptu things? Things that don't take too much time, neither require a lot of planning, can do wonders to our mood and leave us happy and content. 

Most people hate Mondays, Wednesday is called "hump-day" and Thursday is when we start saying "Can't wait for Friday" :) We follow a routine lifestyle through the week - for me, it's waking up and getting ready, having breakfast, work for 8-10hrs, cook dinner, go to gym or walk, watch some telly or make a phone call, and sleep (sometimes while reading a book). Sometimes I would run errands during the week, or visit a friend. 

I must admit - I don't find my lifestyle boring (most of the times) because I do enjoy my work, and I enjoy my evening time (whether I'm cooking or watching telly or working out or chatting with my hubby)....and I also enjoy my conversations over the phone with my family and friends. I am happy!

But, if I have to invite friends over, or arrange a poker night, or watch a movie, or go out for dinner, I wait for the weekend. Anything out of the normal routine has to wait, and in the process, sometimes it never gets done. There is not enough time during my weekdays to incorporate these things. 

I feel we should change our routine once in a while, and do impulsive things to keep the boredom out of our lives and keep it alive n fresh! "The less routine the more life :)"

We all love watching movies at home, and its even better if we have friends to enjoy it with :) So yesterday evening, my friends came over to my place around 8pm (right after dinner), and we watched a comedy movie "Ferris Bueller's Day Off"! I was sooper kicked just because I was getting to enjoy a Wednesday movie nite with my friends :) Yes, such small things make me very happy!


In case you haven't watch the movie, it's great....it's about this high school kid who is a legend in his own time thanks to his uncanny ability to bunk classes at school and never being caught. The movie is about his last day off from school before his graduation, where he calls in "sick", gets his girlfriend out of school, borrows his friend's dad's Ferrari and spends his day off in Downtown Chicago with his pals.  And in the process, how he fools his parents & his school principal and makes his sister jealous. 

This movie reminded me of my college days when occasionally we used to bunk classes, when some professors were SO BORING it was treacherous to keep ourselves awake in class, and when we used to make fun of our professors all the time....those good ol' days :)

So how are your weekdays like and do u break from your routine from time to time? If yes, what do u do?
