Peace-out!

Thursday is my favorite day.  For me, it mentally marks the beginning of the weekend.  

Monday through Thursday I generally try to keep myself productive and on as much of a schedule as I can stand.  I give myself daily to-lists and keep a calendar with appointments and general stuff.  

By Thursday, my willingness to be organized and productive starts to slide.  

This past week, however, I got a head start on the weekend.  I think it started Tuesday.  I don't know what happened, but I left my right mind and became some sort of flower-child from the sixties subconsciously. Hey, man what was all the anal-retentive list making about?  Chillax!  Be free, man.   I was gettin' no karma from the laundry.  Those black bananas lying on the counter were bummin' me out, man. Homework was givin' me no love and a total drag . . .

Okay, so you get the idea.  By Sunday night, I could hardly stand myself.  I got a hefty dose of reality when I saw how much homework I had left for Monday.   That definitely bummed me out and gave me no love at all . . .

So, here's to a better week!  The bananas were first on my new list.

Peace - out!

Here's the recipe, enjoy!
