manicMonday

I used to have a principal/algebra teacher

(in tiny Christian schools,one dons many hats)

that LOVED Mondays. Perhaps he had always loved them, but I always suspected he CHOSE to love them in order to gain our attention and make us groan all the louder when he reminded us with a smile what a perfect day Monday was. A day for new beginnings, a clean slate.

" I just LOVE Mondays!" he'd say

and while I still haven't adopted his philosophy, I would LIKE to LOVE Mondays or at least be able to tolerate them... we shall see, until then, here's to Manic Monday and everything on my plate that I hope to address/accomplish before "Frantic Friday" gets here:
