This day is dragging on and on…It’s Friday and I’m anxious to hurry up and begin enjoying what will be my last relaxing weekend for a while.

In my course of blog hopping, I learned a couple new phrases. Each one is a regional way of saying “It’s 5 o’clock somewhere…”. So pop open that bottle of pino and let’s get the weekend started!

“Oh, I think the Boeing just flew over.” (South Africa)

“Was that the train?” (New England…in reference to the afternoon commuter train going by, indicating the end of the work day)

“The sun’s over the yardarm.” (I think this comes from ships at sea…but not entirely sure.)

“The bats are flying.” (Southern US…bats come out at dusk)

Does anyone know any others? While you think about it, I’m going to go have a drink.

Happy Weekend!!
