Good morning! It is a wonderful morning. We got rain! We're way behind "normal", but not as dry as last summer. I'm glad we didn't get the huge amounts some places not so far from us got; but still, I'm very happy for a rainy day. I woke up to it still raining, and a good chance of it all day. Temps in the low 80s means the office a/c will be up too high! LOL!
I was fairly productive last night. I am now 3/4 through with my tedious project; plus - for a change of pace - I did the pinning on 2 projects (only5 to go! LOL!).
I didn't watch Dancing ... two new season shows to watch (NCIS!!). I will watch more of Dancing when the field has narrowed down more ... not such long programs! Tonight - I have no idea what's on. Hopefully I will finish that tedious project and get more of the pinning done ... maybe even some "real" sewing! ;)
Today is "Checkers Day" ... "Innergize Day" ... "Kingdom Unification (Saudi Arabia)".
