Good morning! Saturday September 5, 2009

Good morning! It's a beautiful morning! Even though it's not really still "early" (ahhh ... sleeping in!!! I didn't get up until 8:00 - instead of 5:45!!), it's still comfortably cool. Just about the first thing I did was open doors - totally love the fresh air blowing through the house! Today will be much like yesterday: mid to upper 80s, sunny, slightly breezy, low humidity. And, I get to actually enjoy it today, not "stuck" in an office. :)
Last night I didn't get any sewing projects done, but I did get some other cleaning and organizational things done. That counts too. In a few minutes, (once I quit playing on the computer) I'm going to be headed outside to start on cleaning the porch. Later today we have a dinner to go to (DH decided we should go to a fund raising dinner for his class reunion. Doesn't make much sense to me, but oh well, it's a dinner out and he paid! LOL!!). Whatever I can't get done on the porch today I hope I can finish by tomorrow. And, of course, there's the on-going laundry (load in the wash now) and dishes. I really hope I don't run out of steam, there's a lot to get done before I can "play" (sew)! :)

Today is "Be Late for Something Day".
