Good Morning! Friday September 10, 2010

Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. There's no mist this morning, and my yard has a lovely bright golden glow. It'll be upper 80s today, clear, and low humidity. This will be a gorgeous "fall" day! Still no rain, but we may be getting some soon.
Last night was not as productive as I would have liked; but I got a few things done. I worked on paperwork, and a bit of sewing. I didn't get any cleaning done ... boy am I going to have a busy weekend! LOL!
Tonight I probably won't get much done either. I have that "Friday night mentality" ... I know I have tomorrow! :) For the first time in 3 weeks, I only have a "normal" weekend ... so I really need to get busy. Maybe I'll find a little spurt of energy or something tonight. Then again ... maybe I'll pick up a book! :)

Today is "Swap Ideas Day"
