Good Morning! Thursday February 4, 2010

Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. It's starting out grayish again, but the forecast is for mostly sunny until late afternoon, when the next round of rain clouds start arriving. It'll be mid 40s today; not as "warm" as yesterday, but at least not freezing! :)
I'm sure some of you will be shocked to hear ... I didn't watch AI! I decided I've had enough of the auditions, and watched my "usual" police/detective type shows. Oh, and a show about SuperBowl commercials. While a lot of them I could do without, I really love those Clydesdales! LOL!
Tonight ... laundry for sure, and more TV probably. :)

Today is "Quacker Day" ... "Independence Day (Sri Lanka)" ..."Birthday of the USO" ... "Rosa Park's Day" ... "Create A Vacuum Day" ... "Thank A Mailman Day" ... "Homemade Soup Day" ... "Spoiled Cats Day".

Quotes of the Day:
"It is true that I was born in Iowa, but I can't speak for my twin sister."
Abigail Van Buren

"And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same."
-- Marianne Williamson
