Good Morning! Wednesday January 27, 2010

Good morning! It's a beautiful morning! It's bright and clear, a lovely winter day. It will go to around 50 - normal for here. There is more "stuff" coming, but not until later in the week.
I really didn't get anything done last night. When it's cold, it's hard to be motivated! LOL! I watched AI (not especially impressed), and then watched (for I-don't-even-know-how-many-th time) Sister Act 2. Sometimes I just need something fun with a happy ending! :)
I hope tonight I'll do better - at least get my sewing/desk area cleaned a bit so I can do something useful.

Today is "Anniversary - Challenger Space Shuttle Explosion"... "Holocaust Memorial Day" ... "Thomas Crapper Day" ... "Vietnam Peace Day".
