Good Morning! Thursday July 29, 2010

Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's a bit overcast and misty, but the forecast is for partly cloudy so this early morning mist will most likely burn off. I tend to forget that technically the days are getting shorter now. Today will be back in the mid to upper 90s, humid, and chances of afternoon storms. There was no rain at my house yesterday, so if no rain today I'll be running the sprinker again!
zYesterday I stopped by the grocery store on my way home. I really only meant to get bread; but Breyer's was on sale!! What can I say? LOL!! Then last night I finally got to working on my sewing project. I'm at a boring step, but I've set myself a "deadline" to finish so I need to push on to get the boring parts done and get busy sewing.
Tonight I'm going to try hard to finish the phase I'm on so by the weekend I can get to sewing (in between a zillion other weekend projects! LOL!). It should be a good TV night (for just sitting and doing the sewing project); but if it's all reruns, I might get distracted. :)

Today is "National Chili Dog Day" ... "Anniversary - NASA".
