Thank Goodness Its Friday

Lucky or unlucky, Friday is one of the most popular days in the week. TGIF is the commonly used acronym meaning "Thank Goodness It's Friday!". There is even a popular restaurant that goes by the name, claiming that whenever you eat there it is Friday. The love for the day is undoubtedly engendered by the fact that in the Western World it is the last workday of the week.

Wish me luck today. I am going with a friend to play Bingo tonight. I went last month and won twice!! Wohoo!! I was so happy. I hate to go play and not win anything. I feel like I just threw my money away! Its at our local community building. The prizes vary from time to time. I'll let you know if I win.

Have a GREAT Weekend!!

Monday Morning

I was happy this morning, as I woke up in bed,
Then realized it was Monday and I faced the day with dread,
For somehow, whatever comes my way, my temper is displayed,
Just mentioning 'it's Monday', my nerves, they become frayed.

The day will be just a ' write off', it's no good me trying to do
Any sort of reasonable job, things won't go right. It's true!
It's like a 'cloud' which hangs around and never let's you be,
Whatever I attempt to do, disaster follows me.

If I could sleep through Monday then that would be just bliss!
Then Monday wouldn't happen, I'd have given it a miss!
