Good Morning! Thursday August 20, 2009

Good morning! It's a wonderful morning! It's still misty, but bright. Today will be much like the last few have been, mid 90s and small chance of afternoon storms. So far, those storms have mostly been pretty far north (of my house) .... wouldn't mind getting some rain! Even though we've had a lot, it's been very hot and things are drying up again.
I didn't end up watching the AGT results show after all. I opted for reruns of shows I like ... because who ever made it through will be on the next phase anyway. I finally got all the laundry finished (put up!!); and I completed one piece of a 6-piece set. Plus pinned together one more block of a multi-piece project. So, all in all, not too bad. Hopefully I'll get even more done tonight, since everything is still reruns! :)

Today is "Virtual Worlds Day" ..."Saint Stephen's Day (Hungary)"

Quotes of the Day:
