The great way to start a lazy day is being lazy all the day.

I love gathering with family and friends on the weekends. Friday is for relaxation and watching a movie after a long and hard week. Also, each Saturady, I choose a particular place with my friends to have fun such as a mall, a coffe shop, or we go for skating. Then we have a dinner at our favorite restaurant. On Sundays, I enjoy eating breakfast at my lovable turkish restaurant. When i get up, I feel that the Turkish borek smell exists inside my head! definitely, I spent this great moments each sunday with my family.

Breakfast lunch :D


Well, I never heard of this before. That you can eat a meal that is a late breakfast or an early lunch as a good start for a chill day. But because I’m a healthy person, I know well how it’s important to have your early breakfast, although, on days when I wake up late at the noon, I do that without meaning to have a chill day :)) .


I don’t know what’s best if you want to have a lazy day, but for a relaxing day, I am for Brian’s idea.

If I eat in a restaurant is because I’m working or something like that..but In a weekend I belive it must  be different…

Yes having brunch with my friends on the weekend is my favorite but it dosent happen all the time!


Maybe onec a month or even longer we get together and we prefer to have brunch in a new resturant or go to a picnic in a park! ;)


Of course I can’t call it a lazy day!


When I have a company with my dear friends I have a great time with them full of energy, happiness , joy , activity and excitement!


But I usually have a chill day on the weekend! I wake up like everyday soon , have a breakfast and enjoy my time at home by surfing the net , coming to Eb ;) and so on!


Now I really long for having brunch with my friends! ;)

Whether it’s a Sunday or not, I must eat something very early in order to wake me up and make me more attentive. Moreover, I get grouchy and start snapping at others if I’m on an empty stomach in the mornings. 


However, if I’m sick or had stayed up late the night before, I wake up late and have brunch with my family. But I have never got together with my friends and had brunch for fun like the way Marni loves to.

Brunch and happy hour are part of the american culture. What could be more relaxing on a sunday morning than staying in bed late , knowing that you  have a full day to enjoy with your family and friends.  First thing, taking a shower, going for a stroll in the park or the farmer market, maybe to attend mass and then ” brunch” with friends…burguers, pancakes loaded with cream or caramel sauce. So relaxing ,   batteries loaded , ready  for another hectic week.
