Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
I have the 3rd off as well, but I do have to work at the bookstore on the 4th. A big portion of the office staff has Monday off as well (makeup for not getting Presidents Day off due to busy season here), but I'll be here that day. Cafeteria's closed, so I'll have to remember to either bring in my own lunch or head out for takeout.

Seriously caddish but amusing. His son, Adam, did survive him.

I have the 3rd off ... I'm celebrating by getting my hair done. The 4th (and 5th) I plan to spend hiding out from heat and crowds (both expected to be plentiful, if not overwhelming).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I hope he starts to get who is the boss of him soon.

Our wings are not tired.
I've got the 3rd off, and am working the 2nd from home. The 2nd is boyfriend's birthday, too.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I have the 3rd off. Adorable BiL is visiting for the weekend, on his way to be a chef in New Hampshire for the next six weeks.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
DW and I have the 3rd off. We will be spending it finishing packing up the kitchen, bathroom, and laundry room as our remodel starts TUESDAY! Must keep the end result in mind as it is going to be a horrible 6-8 weeks.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
I have the 3rd off. I'm working from home today but expect to be in the office tomorrow.
CJ went swimming with a bunch of the kids from the dojo yesterday and didn't put on a dab of sunscreen. He is a CRISPY CRITTER today. I'm home being the Aloe Vera queen.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I have tomorrow and the third off, since it's our off friday anyway.
I have a physics question, but am trying to figure out how to phrase it properly.
