Scribbles and Scrambles - Monday Defined

Monday snuck up and slapped me upside the head again. I’m going to have to prepare Monday’s post on Thursday or Friday so this doesn’t happen anymore. I always have great intentions scrawled on my mental to-do list and then reality greets me at the door.

To begin this process of wrestling Monday into submission, I think I need to get a good handle on exactly what Monday is. There are the obvious things. First day of the work or school week. Yuck. It follows activity filled weekends. Which is probably why I need to suck down several cups o’joe before I begin to feel human.

If you recall from a previous post – I took many years of French language training, and when given the opportunity to use it, managed to squeak out a “Merci!” But I do remember Monday being Lundi and a discussion of the meaning of the word having to do something with the moon.

http://www.answers.com/topic/monday#after_ad2 gives all the information you might ever want on the origin of Monday's name, and many useless facts, too. I am thrilled to announce that this write-up includes the French word for Monday and I remembered and spelled it correctly. (excuse me while I clap for myself).

Happy day after Monday to you all.

I understand girl! If you read my post today, you'll see that yesterday was a full-blown MONDAY for me, but hey God made Mondays too! Maybe that's something we can ask Him about in heaven! Have a good one!

Kelly, mon cheri... that's all I got. I took some French too and you know, I never get to use it. Spanish, yes, very practical, but French not so much.

I feel Mondayish with you. I think a walk in the fresh air would do me good.
