Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's faintly "dim" this morning ... not quite cloudy, but not completely clear either. Yes, I know, that doesn't make any sense! LOL! Anyway, it will be up close to, if not over, 100 today; partly cloudy and humid with chances of afternoon storms. Yesterday some very strong storms moved across the state. Once again, they circled around me - I did get thunder and lightening. I'm not sorry, of course, to miss the damage; but we sure need more rain.
Last night I did a little better: I got the next step on my project done, some cleaning done, and worked on my sewing project. There are a lot of steps on the sewing project that don't involve actual sewing ... I guess I put them off because they're boring! LOL!
Tonight I get to work on a fun stage of my project; that one may take longer, so don't know if there'll be any sewing. Of course, with this crazy weather(though typical ... having been put straight about how wrong I am thinking the weather this summer is "unusual", merely because the weatherman said so! LOL!), no telling what will happen. :)
Today is "Legal Drinking Age Day" ... "Liberation Day (Guam)" ... "Independence Day (Belgium)".
Quotes of the Day:
"I have noticed that the people who are late are often so much jollier than the people who have to wait for them."
