Good Morning! Monday March 8, 2010

Good morning!! It's a beautiful morning! It's going into the mid 60s today, bright and clear. Too bad I'm stuck in an office ... may have to go out at lunch time just to walk around. LOL!
Yesterday was a very busy day, though not like I expected. We didn't do any more than walk around the yard and dream about what will go where ... and find all the lovely new sprouts pushing through. We went shopping (mostly window-shopping!) ... managed to get to 4 places before we were too tired to keep going! It was a really fun day.
The "last tree" (sadness) is upstairs now. The only thing left to do is dig a box out from under the bed and change out pictures on the walls. I'll probably do that tomorrow night before AI (class tonight).

Today is "Fun Facts About Names Day" ... "Girls Write Now Day" ... "International (Working) Women's Day" ... "UN Day for Women's Rights and International Peace" ... "Anniversary - US Income Tax" ... "Commonwealth Day (UK)" ... "International Women's Day (Russia)".

Quotes of the Day:
"Nothing is impossible for the man who doesn't have to do it himself".

"Stay centered by accepting whatever you are doing. This is the ultimate."
