Good Morning! Thursday March 25, 2010

Good morning! It's a beautiful morning! It's starting out a bit gray, but the forecast is for only partly cloudy, with a system moving in late tonight. It's to be mid-70s ... another lovely spring day!
Last night I had a small burst of energy when I got home. I got some more laundry done, a few things taken upstairs, and a lot of my Easter decorations out. It's nice to have cheery happy things about the house!
I was a little bit surprised at the results show last night; but not with who ultimately left. After the show, I tried to go to sleep a bit early ... should have tried to read first! LOL!
Tonight I hope to finish Easter stuff, so I can leave the weekend open for cleaning and some fun projects! :)

Today is "Feast of Annunciation (Catholic)" ... "National Letting Go of Stuff Day" ... "Old New Year's Day" ... "Pecan Day" ... "UN International Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Slavery and the Transatlantic Slave Trade" ... "Maryland Day (Maryland)" ... "Independence Day (Greece)".
