Monday, I could wait till Tuesday...

The days of the week are a big thing for us as humans. We put a lot of pressure on our weeks as a whole, and like to do a lot of little things to the days of the week to make them more manageable. We like to write things down in boxes to tell us how to make it through each individual day. And then we try to make all the days less painful by attempting to make them... cute? Humorous? We like to do things like:

- Give the days little nick-names, like "Thirsty Thursday" or "Wine Wednesdays" or "Sunday Funday"... uhh... "Throwback Thursday?" (Thursday is clearly our favorite.)
- Wear underwear and socks that correspond with the day (FACT: I had 'Day of the Week Underwear as a child, and Meg Ryan LIES. They do make Sunday. Sunday is purple).
-We make really funny e-cards and stuff that say clever things like "Thank God its Friday!" and have pictures of creepy memes or cats with angry eyes.

Part of me really felt like we did more weird stuff with the days of the week... huh... whatever. Anyways, I'm at a really interesting place in my life right now, and that place is called "Unemployed." So the way I look at my week now is very different then the way I looked at it when I was working. Like an adult...

Never-the-less, to me, this is the week:

MONDAY- Its acceptable to be sleepy all day and a little bitchy. No one expects you to have it together on a Monday. In fact, people want you to be pissy and hate the world. Because apparently, the beginnings of all things are terrible. As a general rule, I request all Mondays off, just so I can have that extra day to be unpleasant in my own home. Also, so I could watch 'Gossip Girl", but thats over. So now I just use that hour to cry. ha... But Monday night does have football, which people seem to like.

TUESDAY- For me, Tuesdays are harder then Mondays. On Tuesdays, you have no excuse to be a)late b)tired c)anything less than a ball of sunshine. Also, Tuesday is only day 2. Out of 5. No one ever brings donuts on a Tuesday. I also feel really bad about being lazy on Tuesdays, because its almost like I am admitting defeat on day 2 of a war.

WEDNESDAY: This day always stresses me out. Mainly because I never learned how to spell "Wednesday." I would demonstrate how pathetic my spelling attempts were, but auto-correct won't let me. Also, my MacBook is super protective of me and doesn't want me to look like a moron. Which we can all agree is super sweet. Also, this is the halfway mark. But its not really. Its just halfway through the 'work week', which is great, assuming that the 'weekend' is something we are looking forward to, and not just two more days that will potentially suck.

So far it seems like I hate each day of the week, which I totally don't. I'm like, a really happy person. I thought. Until this moment? Moving on.

THURSDAY: This one I like. I don't know why, but it has always been my favorite. Its the last day before Friday, 30 Rock is on, it vaguely reminds me of Whinne the Pooh for some reason... Does Piglet at some point say that Thursdays are "Blustery' or am I making that up?

FRIDAY: Woo! Its Friday! We love this day! The obligation to go out and do things, the feeling that really exciting things are gonna happen in the two days ahead, unwarranted optimism, and the knowledge that tomorrow, you get to sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep. All day. Its Friday right now. Im on my couch, watching Matthew Perry's new show. Falling in love with him a little more each passing minute. Trying to also think of ways not to lame tonight...

SATURDAY: This day doesn't really count as a day of the week. The Jews had it right; this day should only be for sleeping. Until sundown, then its party time. Thats what the Jewish faith is right? Upon daydreaming of the relaxing day that is Saturday, I stretched out my legs and stubbed all of my toes on my coffee table. I am in intense pain.

SUNDAY: Each and every Sunday is like the end of a vacation. Well, a two day vacation that was proceeded by 5 days of crappiness. Its a bittersweet day. In New York, its a day of Brunching, and not much else. Its kind of creepy how no one ventures out to do anything besides brunch... creepy in a 'deserted Manhattan' kind of way. Its also nice that we can all go to bed early and not feel bad about it. Because tomorrow, is the worst day ever. Again. And again. And again. And again.

So yeah. That is how I see the days of the week. Right now, its like I rotate between Friday and Saturday since I don't have a job. Did I mention I don't have a job? And then any day I get a call for a job, BAM! Its my 'Sunday'... BUM BUM!

I also like to say the days of the week by singing that 'Sting' song. You know what I'm talking about. Don't play.
