Good Morning! Friday February 19, 2010

Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's sunny and clear, and we'll go up into the 50s today. It's looking like we'll actually have a gorgeous weekend, mostly sunny, temps around "normal", maybe even close to 60 by Sunday! Stuff in the yard will definately get done!! :)
Yes, I stayed up too late again. I (mostly) watched the men's figure skating finals. I did keep dozing a bit ... missed most of one performance. LOL! But I was very happy with the results. The young man who won clearly gave a superior performance, and deserved his gold medal!
I guess I'll be watching more Olympics tonight. What can I say ... I'm "hooked"! LOL!

Today is "Anniversary - Japanese Internment" ... "Chocolate Mint Day" ... "International Mother Language Day" ... "Iwo Jima Day".
