\"\"<\/a>It\u2019s Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Today is one of those days where I am really glad Wednesday is Friday. (Sorry to all you international folks. We get to gorge ourselves on turkey and pecan pie tomorrow.) Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. A day to share our thanks for everything we are blessed with in life.<\/p>\n

Yet, sometimes (even if for the most trivial reasons \u2013 which btw is TOTALLY ok) we\u2019re not thankful for *everything.*<\/p>\n

Sometimes you have days where you just want to kick a situation in the shins. I know you know what I\u2019m talking about \u2013 that moment when you eye the clock thinking, \u201cI could really use a glass of wine right now,\u201d and realize it\u2019s still only 9 a.m. (Brings new relevance to Alexander and the Terrible Horrible No Good Very Bad Day<\/a>, I think I\u2019ll move to Australia, doesn\u2019t it? I thought so.)<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the deal.<\/p>\n

Sometimes you find yourself so flush with frustration, you\u2019re completely immobilized with indecision about whether to curl up in the fetal position after chugging a glass of zinfandel or hurling a pinecone at the offender (person or problem \u2013 we\u2019re not picky) with the speed force and accuracy of Randy Johnson<\/a> (a moment of silence for our fallen feathered friend here, please<\/em>).<\/p>\n

Over at the group website, A Nervous Tic Motion<\/a>, we\u2019re starting something just for you today.<\/p>\n

Wineconed Wednesdays.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Kabam! Wineconed! Don't frustrate me.<\/p><\/div>\n

It\u2019s for anyone out there who instead of giving the finger, would love to\u00a0throw some pinecones at someone who\u2019s been pissing them off. Adoring someone instead? Toss on over a smackaroo. (Sometimes all we need is a little kiss.) Either way, we\u2019ll have the wine waiting.<\/p>\n

Join us.<\/p>\n

Throw your winecones in the comments. If you\u2019d prefer to remain anonymous, please email anervousticmotion1@gmail.com<\/a>, or me personally at tricia@streamdoubletrouble.com<\/a>. (I\u2019ve been working on my curvecone.) We\u2019ll have a weekly wrap-up for you.<\/p>\n

Feel free to button up your own site with Wineconed Wednesdays!<\/p>\n

And remember \u2013 nothing is too trivial to whine about. We know there\u2019s plenty causing those nervous tic motions\u2026We just don\u2019t know what the holy hell to do about it.<\/p>\n

Kisses and winecones!
