Good Morning! Tuesday September 22, 2009

Good morning! It's a wonderful morning - it really is FALL at last! :) It's supposed to be about 80 today, and a good chance of showers. It's "heavy" looking out the window now, so I'm hopeful. We could sure use some rain. Not, of course, the flooding our neighbors to the west are getting!
Last night wasn't exactly "productive", though I worked on a project all evening. It's one that is boring and tedious, but needs to be done. But, Dancing With The Stars started!! Yay!! I don't know if I'll watch it 2 more nights this week though ... too many other good things on now. New seasons are starting.
Hopefully tonight I can finish the "tedious" project, and move on to something more fun!

Today is "American Business Women's Day" ..."Autumnal Equinox" ... "FALL BEGINS (Northern Hemisphere)" ... "Dear Diary Day" ... "Elephant Appreciation Day" ... "Hobbit Day" ... "International Day of Radiant Peace" ... "Long Count Day" ... "Spring Begins Southern Hemisphere" ... "Anniversary - Emancipation Proclamation" ... "Anniversary - Ice Cream Cone Birthday" ...
