Good Morning! Tuesday November 24, 2009

Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. It's still gray, but not pouring rain like yesterday. (we need the rain of course .. just not when I'm trying to get in and out of the car for work! LOL!). It's mild today, just like nearly Thanksgiving should be.
Last night we went to one of our favorite local places for dinner .... and I did nothing else (except watch Dancing With The Stars). Tonight I will be much busier. We have a dinner at work tomorrow, and I have to assemble my contribution. Well, I have to go to the grocery store first! LOL! And, the usual .. laundry, etc. And, while I haven't been watching the results show before, I think tonight I want to see who wins "Dancing". Hopefully, I will also find time to add a bit or two to my decorating; and reset some wacko timers! :)
There are 30 days left until Christmas!

Today is "Celebrate Your Unique Talent Day"

"The minute you settle for less than you deserve, you get even less than you settled for."

"The idea of perfect closes your mind to new standards.. When you drive hard toward one ideal, you miss opportunities and paths, not to mention hurting your confidence. Believe in your potential and then go out and explore it; don’t limit it."
