Good Morning Friday July 31, 2009

Good morning! It's a wonderful morning! It's going to be Hot again, and humid; and a good chance of more severe storms. But, it's Friday! :) We actually did get a little rain yesterday. It wasn't very much, but every little bit helps. Keeps me from going out and watering! LOL!
I was a little bit productive last night. I never do as much as I think I should; but, I made a small amount of progress on several different projects. I hope to get a LOT done this weekend .. cleaning, organizing, and sewing. We'll see how long that resolve holds up! LOL!
I can't believe I forgot to tell y'all earlier .... there are 147 days left until Christmas!! No, I won't tell you every day. :) I meant to note when it was 150 days. However, it won't be all that long before a daily countdown begins. :)

Today is "Anniversary - US Patent Office" ... "System Administrator Appreciation Day".

"Passion is the quickest to develop, and the quickest to fade. Intimacy develops more slowly, and commitment more gradually still.
