Good Morning! Thursday June 24, 2010

Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's going to be extraordinarily hot today: forecast is for 101, and where I live it's usually 1 to 3 degrees higher. I don't even know what the heat index will be ... I just know it's another day to NOT be outside! There's probably a good chance of more afternoon storms; and also a good chance that, like yesterday, they'll skip right around me. So, I keep watering! LOL!
Last night wasn't real productive ... honestly, it's hot even with a/c going. But I did get my small project completely pinned and ready to sew. I hope to get to that tonight. Last night I also watched (some of) AGT ... somewhat a waste of time, although there were a few surprises. Most of the surprises were what the judges "let through". What were they thinking??? LOL!

Today is "Celebration of the Senses" ... "National Bomp Pop Day" ... "National Handshake Day" ... "Saint John the Baptist Day" ... "John's Day (Latvia)" ... "Macau Day (China)".

Quotes of the Day:
"Realize that true happiness lies within you. Waste no time and effort searching for peace and contentment and joy in the world outside. Remember that there is no happiness in having or in getting, but only in giving. Reach out. Share. Smile. Hug. Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself."
-- Og Mandino

"To the soul, there is hardly anything more healing than friendship."
-- Thomas Moore
