Hey fam,

 

Happy Friday! Thank God we have a three-day weekend because I think we all need a break.

 

A break from Kimberly Elise. A break from dramatic ass Kanye. And thankfully, we'll be getting a 30-year break from R. Kelly as he was sentenced this week in the Brooklyn federal trial against him on racketeering and sex trafficking charges. Bout time.

 

What I wanna know if how y'all will be spending your 3-day weekend? Who's catching up on TV? Who's visiting family? Who's cooking out and can I have a plate?

 

Hit me up here or on Twitter and let me know. Lord knows we all need a little (read: a lotta) time off.
