Good morning! It's a wonderful morning! It's going to be "much" cooler today, only low to mid 90s. It will be mostly sunny and very little chance of storms (which I did not get last night). But ... it's Friday. It's payday. AND .. it's the 13th!! Woo Hoo, doesn't get much better. :)
Last night I got laundry caught up ... yes, completely (well, except what we were wearing of course! LOL!). I got packed for the weekend; tonight as soon as I get home from work, we head off to visit my brother and sil for the weekend. Yay! No projects, no plans .. I won't know how to be ... except relaxed! :)
Today is "Blame Someone Else Day" ... "Friday the Thirteenth" ... "Kool-Aid Days" ... "Independence Day (Central African Republic)" ... "Women's Day (Tunisia)".
