Why does everyone call Wednesday "Hump Day"? I know that it's because you're getting over the hump of the work week, but in my opinion it makes the beginning of the week so much worse. Think about it. If you go into every week thinking that Monday and Tuesday are going to be up hill battles, then you're going to be in for it. I've noticed that when your Monday and Tuesdays suck, then your Sunday does as well. I spend a portion of my day on Sunday thinking that I don't want it to be tomorrow. On Sundays, we barely ever go out and when we do, it's never to do something fun. It's like we're trying to save up our energy for the suckiness of Monday and Tuesday.
Well, here's the deal. Today is Wednesday and I don't feel like I've gotten over the worst of the week. Thursday sucks just as bad as Tuesday.
Perhaps I will try a new tact and make more of my Sundays. That will make my weekend seem longer. Right now, my weekend is basically one day. Friday night is an untapped gold mine that I need to take advantage of in addition to Sunday.
November seems to be hump month. I think Thanksgiving is an okay holiday. Basically it's just a day to sit around and overeat. Yes, there is that rare treat of the family member who pulls their shirt up and sits on the couch with their pants unbuttoned. Don't get me wrong, the benefits of said person being morbidly overindulged with food go far beyond this. After all, there are belches and farts to come. Then there is the after dinner nap. If you're lucky, this person will start sawing wood so loudly that you won't be able to hear the tv. The day after Thanksgiving used to be a fun holiday. I think that they should come up with a better name than the day after Thanksgiving. Don't give me the Black Friday crap. That name sucks also. There is no originality to that. Shopapalooza sounds much better. I mean, we don't refer to Christmas as 7 days before the end of the year. Halloween isn't referred to as the last day in October. Heck, even the day after Christmas is Boxing Day, not the day after Christmas.
Well, I'm about to lose my chatting buddy, so I have to cut this short for now. Something tells me that I could go on and on about this though.

I could get behind Shopapalooza. It sounds a lot more fun than Black Friday, which frankly sounds like a day of mourning to me!!
