Weather: It’s shaping up to be a great weekend. Sunny and 90 degrees on Saturday, perfect for those boozy brunches, but Sunday might bring some stormy weather. But let’s be real, you’re just in recovery mode on Sundays and binge watching Netflix.

#WATCH

It’s Friday and we’re tired of doing our adult duties. In other words, we literally can’t even adult anymore. So we did what we do best – bossed little kids around and made them do our job for us: wait in line at Rose’s Luxury, read the local newspaper and happy hour at Senart’s Oyster and Chop House.

Takeaway: kids will do anything for a Ted tart.

Go home, Lochte; Peace out Paul Manafort. Can’t say we blame ya; You don’t want to tangle with this gold medalist; It’s time for change; We’re still on this? Seriously?; Getting paid to unwind and take a day off? Ummm yes please; We legit cannot go this long without Game of Thrones.
