Ahhhh.... Saturday.
Everyone always makes a big deal about Friday.
Happy Friday!
Thank God It's Friday! ... T.G.I.F.!
Friday night football. ... e t c ...
In my opinion Saturday doesn't get enough attention, enough hoorahs.
Although my reasons that "Saturday" is just as great as "Friday" may be more personal and reminiscent, I would find it strange if you didn't have similar fondness yourself.

Funny... it wasn't until Calley started kindergarten that I started to long for my Saturdays as I did yesteryear. I am once again getting up much earlier than I would prefer to, 5:30 ugh! I have not done that in a very long time. So just as days gone by, I once again long to sleep in come Saturday.
Once upon a time Saturday morning was all about cartoons and kid's shows. Yet with today's satellite and cable channels and children being able to find cartoons anytime of the day... well it's not the same. Not from my perspective anyways.
Saturday morning tv was the best as a kid!! And what's best is that I am able to pass that same experience onto Calley. Between being busy, homework and having to go to bed by 7:30p each night for school, she doesn't have any time for tv during the week... and now she too gets to experience that Saturday morning joy.
What I loved best as a tween and teenager was American Bandstand... each week we had an hour of great new music and some pretty cool dancing. We would watch and dance at the same time, learning new moves This is where we perfected our new moves. In high school I had some friends that were regular dancers on the show.
On immediately after Bandstand was Soul Train... continuing the fun, the dancing, and a lot of "soul" for another hour. This is where we really got our groove on!! Big smile!!
As I grew older, Saturdays became more than just cartoons, kid's shows and dancing... as the day unfolded itself, I would look forward to seeing the big star of the week hosting that night on Saturday Night Live. As I look back on SNL, I think that it's really cool that I was able to experience the original cast. What talent!! Laraine Newman, John Belushi, Jane Curtin, Gilda Radner, Garrett Morris, Chevy Chase, Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd. I know I'm dating myself, but that's okay because I love the era I grew up in and experienced.
Finally... there's also Saturday morning sports, bar-be-ques, birthday parties and once in a while a wedding or two.
So here's to Saturday! Thanks for starting off the weekend on the right foot and giving us all the opportunity of enjoying our lives, families and friends!
Here's to your Saturday memories! Past, present and future.
It's... Saturday... Night... Live! ~quoted by many since 1975
