The Bangles Lyrics
“Manic Monday”

Six o’clock already
I was just in the middle of a dream
I was kissin’ Valentino
By a crystal blue Italian stream
But I can’t be late
‘Cause then I guess I just won’t get paid
These are the days
When you wish your bed was already made

It’s just another manic Monday
I wish it was Sunday
‘Cause that’s my fun day
My “I don’t have to run” day
It’s just another manic Monday

Have to catch an early train
Got to be to work by nine
And if I had an airplane
I still couldn’t make it on time
‘Cause it takes me so long just to figure out
What I’m gonna wear
Blame it on the train
But the boss is already there

It’s just another manic Monday
Wish it was Sunday
‘Cause that’s my fun day
My “I don’t have to run” day
It’s just another manic Monday

All of my nights
Why did my lover have to pick last night
To get down?
(Last night, last night)
Doesn’t it matter
That I have to feed the both of us
Employment’s down
He tells me in his bedroom voice
“C’mon honey, let’s go make some noise”
Time it goes so fast
(When you’re having fun)

It’s just another manic Monday
I wish it was Sunday
‘Cause that’s my fun day
“I don’t have to run” day

It’s just another manic Monday
I wish it was Sunday
‘Cause that’s my fun day
It’s just a manic Monday

NATIONAL GRAND MARNIER DAY

National Grand Marnier Day on July 14 recognizes a liquor that brings citrus notes to cocktails and desserts. Since the 1880s, we’ve been enjoying the fruits of Grand Marnier’s exquisite flavor.

Alexander Marnier-Lapostolle invented the orange liquor in the 1880s. His grand experiment pairing fruit liquors with cognac took 10 years to find success. When it did, Lapostolle gave birth to one very expensive liquor. The cognac concoction blended one of the most costly fruits of the time with a very strong spirit, too. The result was truly grand. Not only does it add a splash of citrus when mixed into drinks and desserts, but Grand Marnier can be enjoyed neat.

Grand Marnier is used in a long list of desserts including liquor cream buns, Yule log, cranberry sauce, Crepes Suzette, and Grand Marnier souffle creme bruleé. Grand Marnier is also used in the sauce of the roasted duck dish, Canard a l’Orange.

Some examples of the mixed drinks including Grand Marnier are Cosmopolitan, Margarita, Sidecar, Dirty Harry, Grand Mimosa, B-52, the Grand Marnier Smash, Grand Smash, Smash Marnier, Bloody Smash, Maced Marnier, Ace Marnier Smash, Frosty Smash, Smace, Grand Hound, Blood Pug, Clarke, Nogley and the Grand Marnier Fireball.

NATIONAL TAPE MEASURE DAY

On July 14, measuring twice means something extra on National Tape Measure Day. Measure our facts after we share a quick history about the tape measure and explain why it is a standard tool in almost every household.

NATIONAL NUDE DAY

Laundry is unnecessary on July 14 because It’s National Nude Day! Enjoy an air bath or explore the naturist movement. We are not sure who will be celebrating today, but one thing is for sure, the observance offers a way to keep cool on a hot, sticky summer day.

NATIONAL MAC AND CHEESE DAY

National Mac and Cheese Day earns a place of honor on July 14 as one of the classic comfort foods at America’s dinner table.

On the night of July 16, 2025, look up and witness a graceful celestial dance as the crescent Moon passes near Saturn and Neptune in the night sky.
🌠 Saturn — the jewel of our Solar System — will shine prominently, easily visible to the naked eye with its steady, golden light. You can even glimpse its iconic rings through a small telescope, adding to the wonder of the evening.
🔭 Neptune, on the other hand, lies much farther away and is too faint to be seen without optical aid. If you have binoculars or a telescope, look carefully to spot the distant blue planet as a tiny, pale dot next to the Moon’s path.
This rare alignment is a reminder of the intricate motions of our cosmic neighbors and a perfect opportunity for stargazers to connect with the vastness of the universe.

Don’t miss it — step outside just after midnight and look toward the eastern sky.

@taci,

Good Evening well because I live in Tornado Alley we have those loud warnings once
a week. I mean they are loud which is a good thing.

Glad hubs is loving the muffins. 😎 We have made plans for our visit to Colorado.
My niece who is my brother’s daughter has twin daughters well she is married and the
baby is due in a couple of months. The other twin is single they are beautiful girls.
This is my favorite brother and he has get this four daughters. LOL! 😎💕😘🎈
Bro and his wife put all four through College I love my nieces.

OZ is a bit hot. I love your cookware you are getting have fun. YES! I am a Wolfie Girl
and his stuff last still shiny as the day HSN sent them to me. I own just about every piece
he has sold on HSN and this is the only place I buy his cookware.

Taci you may not believe this but I was donating at a thrift store and I happened to see
in the back a roaster with the rack in it brand new in plastic. The store almost gave it to
be and it was a Wolfgang Puck Bistro Roaster. This is the only time I have ever seen
something of Wolfie given away. I think someone was cleaning their kitchen. LOL!
That was the only piece I needed so win-win.

Enjoy! 🎈😎

@oodiebom,

Good evening I am so glad you got to see your husband. The KP is almost over.
I love loading up boxes and getting rid of what I don’t need.

Oodie you know I have over 500 pieces of the high end Heidi Daus. I already have a plan
for that. I have many nieces and three daughters and more female relatives. I have ask
if any want some of my pieces in 30 years and they all said yes. I have entire collection
brought here on HSN. The Cinderella Collection, Beauty and the Beast and such.
I have shown my actual pieces here on the HSN Heidi Daus Thread. 💕😎 Oodie when
we had the jewel thread those were the good ole days. I am not parting with my Iris Apfel
pieces only close family get those.

I hope you get gentle rain and not the hard stuff that causes damages. Oodie I think
your area will be doing what we call in OZ Recycle you put all you plastics in the bin
like bottles, milk cartons, etc. I have been doing this for 20 years and they are picked up
with your everyday trash on the same day. I love it. I am recycling and helping the planet.

I hope you get some rest and relax tonight. 😎🎈💕
