Good Morning! Thursday October 1, 2009

Good morning! It's a gorgeous morning! Today will be clear and sunny, mid 70s. Lovely October weather - my favorite month! I hope this trend continues to the weekend (although rain may be in the forecast). If it stayed like this all year - I *might* get yardwork done! LOL!
I didn't get anything on my list done last night. I ended up bringing work home (end of month reports), plus a boo-boo interfered with my plans. But, I'll try to make up for it tonight! :)
