Good Morning! Wednesday June 2, 2010

Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. It will be warm - upper 80s - and humid today, and partly sunny. As always with this type of pattern, chances of afternoon storms. Yesterday morning we got rain; but we can always use even more!
Last night I went to the grocery store on the way home. I didn't get much of my sorting/organizing done (just a few small things). The bulk of my evening was spent with the time-consuming and annoying task of choosing plans and signing up for insurance, since my employer is changing carriers. It's done, and if my plans work out I won't have to do that again! :)
Tonight I hope to be back to working on getting furniture re-arranged. Between shows ending, and being out of town so much, I have no idea what's on TV tonight! LOL! Guess I'll find out ... hopefully nothing I especially want to watch. :)

Today is "National Bubba Day" ... "National Leave The Office Early Day" ... "Saint Erasmus Day" ... "Yell "Fudge" at Cobras in North America Day" ... "Coronation Day (Bhutan)" ... "Coronation Day (UK)" ... "Republic Day (Italy)".

Quotes of the Day:
"Some national parks have long waiting lists for camping reservations. When you have to wait a year to sleep next to a tree, something is wrong."
-- George Carlin

"I'd rather be a failure at something I love than a success at something I hate."
-- George Burns
