It’s Friday. The day of the week when we look forward to the weekend, at least those of us who work look forward to it. One of my favourite things about a weekend is, if I have been insomniac during the night and at my normal rising time feel sleepy again, I can usually go back to sleep and catch up on it instead of getting up with a muzzy head full of the need for more sleep.
However I slept well; woke on my own before the radio turned on and was ready to switch off the alarm as it started. A good start to the day.
All this rambling around, not getting to the point bodes ill for today when I have a lot to complete before I turn off work-mode and into weekend-mode.
It’s time to post the weekend theme. This week the decision was easy. You can blame a friend who popped the word up on Facebook last night and made me think of Tim Curry as Dr Frankenfurter in Rocky Horror. He did it with panache. I’m not sure I could strut around in 6inch glittery platform shoes and a laced corset, but then these days, neither could he.
This week the theme is
ANTICIPATION
As usual the only rule is, have fun with the theme. Post your contribution and leave a message here so others can follow the link and read yours along with the others.

This is going to be fun, thanks!
November 4th, 2011 at 6:39 am
oh good. breathless with anticipation for all the posts ;-)
November 4th, 2011 at 8:03 am
ok, Sidey, better than some you’ve had lately, lol!
November 4th, 2011 at 1:01 pm
hehe, they come and go, don’t they?

[…] her introduction to the weekend theme, ANTICIPATION, Sidey writes about the eagerness with which the ‘formally employed’ look forward to weekends. […]

I still can’t quite shake off the ‘self empolyed mode’ and feel guilty at things not finalised by the end of Friday
November 4th, 2011 at 11:21 am
Very cool theme, Sidey, and interesting image evoked of an elderly Dr Frankenfurter :-D
November 4th, 2011 at 1:03 pm
Naomi, I saw him in something a few years ago, he hasn’t aged too well unfortunately
November 4th, 2011 at 6:01 pm
Anticipation always makes me think of Carly Simon’s song. :D
November 4th, 2011 at 7:37 pm
oh good a Carly post coming up?
November 4th, 2011 at 11:16 pm
I am eagerly anticipating what this group does with this theme.
November 5th, 2011 at 8:21 am
me too (apparently it was a theme just a few years ago – oops, but who cares as long as we all have fun with it)
November 5th, 2011 at 3:08 am
I agree with nrhatch, almost. Anticipation does make me think of Carly Simon’s song and a ketchup commercial.

I can remember Carly, but as I live in Soutrh Africa I have no common memory of adverts
