Thank God it’s Friday! (But let’s just forget about the fact that it’s Friday the 13th, too.) It’s finally time to get the rest and relaxation you deserve. But that doesn’t always have to mean hiding out at home. If you really want a full weekend, party hard tonight, shop till you drop tomorrow, or watch a ballet on Sunday!
