Wednesdays, the no-man’s land day of the week.
Wednesdays…I was born on a Wednesday. What do they say? Wednesday’s child is full of woe. What’s that all about? Personally I like to think I’m full of “whoa!” 🙂

I blame that Germanic god Wodan. Here is what www.dictionary.com has to say about that:
“The name Wednesday derives from two mighty but distinct gods. The Old English word for Wednesday indicates that the day was named for the Germanic god Woden. In Romance languages, the name is derived from the Roman god Mercury. (For example, Wednesday is mercredi in French and miercuri in Romanian.) Woden (also known as Odin) and Mercury have been associated since Scandinavian and Roman cultures crossed paths. Under Woden’s supervision, the earth and sky were created from the dead body of a giant named Ymir. (WHOA!) Woden also created the first man and woman from an ash tree and an alder. As if fashioning the human race wasn’t enough, Woden also established the laws of the universe.” (How about that?)
So it’s the middle of the week, but not quite over. You gotta hang in there for two more days before the glorious weekend. Well let’s make Wednesdays a little easier and fill them with some “whoa!” shall we?
Here’s a little something to get you over that hump. Welcome to a new section on my blog where I post links to interesting things I find on the web. I call it #linklove_wednesday. I like sharing cool things. I think Wednesday is a great day to do it. If you want to share something neat with me, put it in the comments below 🙂
Enjoy.
Here are few of my favorite things this week, November 25, 2015:
- I always wondered how this happened. Gobble gobble.
- Adele is hot right now. This made me chuckle.
- The original dysfunctional family for you mythology buffs.
- I am so making these burgers…after Thanksgiving.
- Gratitude. Let’s have more of it. Happy Thanksgiving.
