In the United States, perhaps in other countries, each day of the week has a personality.
Monday: People hate Mondays. You see them, lining up at the coffee stand, trying to kick-start their weeks. People, after a weekend of rest, relaxation, prayer, sex, golfing, watching professional football, whatever, need to get back to work. Back to the grindstone. Me, I am a bit different. I rather enjoy going back to work.
Tuesday: This seems be the most misunderstood day of the week. Not as brutal as Monday. Not as noteworthy as Thursday or Friday. It is the least distinct of the days. And for me, sometimes Tuesday feels like a Wednesday.
Wednesday: Humpday. The middle day of the week. This is the middle of the week, not close enough to Friday to feel like it is close to the weekend, not anything but the doldrums of the middle of the week.
Thursday: When I was in college, this was my favorite day of the week. The clubs had the best live bands on Thursdays, and I often went out that night. It was even more fun than a Friday night.
Friday: The party night. The old Loverboy song was written for the day.
As we grow older, however, perhaps the days of the week change a bit. For me, I love to work, or at least go to work, and so I look forward for Mondays.
When I was growing up, I watched more television than I currently watch. And I don't even remember what day shows were on. I guess the weekdays the shows were on gave the days character as well. But that's when there were only three networks, when people watched the same shows. Now I don't know what people watch, other than Monday Night Football.
Me, I am going to work today. But it feels like Humpday.
About Leesa
LeesaI started blogging to improve my writing; I really did. Painters don't start with masterpieces – they start on scraps of paper, and even when planning a great work, they do many other drawings in preparation. I think writing is the same. You just don't start and finish a novel by merrily typing into the computer; you experiment. Blogging is sort of like a writer's doodling. So this is my scratch pad of sorts. This is less than scraps of paper actually, just 1s and 0s on your computer screen.

Notes on this Blog
Some random notes about this blog:
1. Schedule. I started writing this blog in 1995, and over the past few years, I have tried to write every workday. Then in the summer of 2008, I quit writing for a month or so. Now I try writing three times per week. The quality waxes and wanes. Sorry about that.
2. Leesa's Mailbag. I am trying a new weekly/monthly/semi-annual blog entry called "Leesa's Mailbag". Over the last few years, people have emailed me with questions, and I have answered them on an individual basis. Now, I think I will answer them on a blog entry. Perhaps Friday. Not sure I will get enough questions to do this often, but I will try to answer questions. Sort of an Ann Landers with attitude. Just write to the email address below.
3. My Stories. Yeah, I have a few erotic stories here. I know, they are not all that good, but they were fun to write. Don't read them if this offends you (and they represent less than 1% of the content here). These stories have elements of truth and fantasy, some more true than others. Complain about something that is a bit more substantive if you must complain. I have lots of faults.
4. Layout. My layout is clean and simple. You can tell me it is boring, and you would be right. I just don't want pink flowers and weird colors to get in the way of my words. I have customized my drop-down menus under "Quick Links" and "Blog Roll" so I had to use a little HTML.
Finally, there are loads of better bloggers here. If you like what you read, thanks. If you don't, thanks for dropping by (and I mean this). A few people who comment on my work add immensely to the experience.

It's Humpday minus one...
The shows I remember most from my youth; Dark Shadows...that's about it.
Favorite day, the first day of two days off. :) Doesn't happen often, but when it does, it's my favorite.
I was thinking the same thing recently, especially since moving to Montana.
We don't really have any clocks in the house, and I don't really live to any schedule. So the days are really just same.
I have a fave show on Sundays so I remember it's Sunday.
But otherwise, one day is the same as the next.
I totally agree about Thursdays when you were in college -- we had the best times on Thursday nights in the local clubs AND on campus. The week now including weekends is just more of the same, work, work, work :( -- I don't even look forward to weekends anymore.
"Everybody's working for the weekend..."
Now that is an oldie for sure!
They did an industry survey a few years ago and found that Tuesday was the most productive day of the week. You're a fair distance from the last weekend, and it's too long until the next, so you may as well get your ass in gear. Makes sense.
I get the most phone calls on Tuesdays and traffic is always at it's worst. My favorite day is Thursday. Not sure why.
It's Wednesday morning, and I thought of you. :)
kathi: Thanksgiving!
leesa: I thought you might be moving to Seattle.
ian: I think I saw that study. At least in the news.
boxer: I still love Tuesdays.
kathi: oh, thanks, sweetie.
I go back and forth, hubs works in Seattle so we have places in both.
