Good Morning! Tuesday September 29, 2009

Good morning! It's a gorgeous morning! The sun is shining, the sky is clear, and it's cool and breezy out! Today will be that kind of perfect fall day - low 70s - that makes me love this time of year (and it isn't even October yet! LOL!).
Last night was not as productive as I would have liked, but I did make pretty good progress on one of my projects. I also got several packages all wrapped and addressed to take to the PO at lunch today. I'll be very happy to have that done.
Tonight I'm hoping to completely finish one more project, and get back to work on one of the big projects that's waiting. Or, maybe, I'll try to complete another smaller project that's been put aside since last year. Oops. :) I guess I'll decide when I get home!

Today is "Michaelmas (Greek/Roman Catholic)".

Quotes of the Day:
"Better to get up late and be wide awake than to get up early and be asleep all day."
