Good Morning! Tuesday September 7, 2010

Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's clear and bright already, with only faint traces of mist. It's back into the low 90s today (although we actually made it there yesterday), no sign of rain yet. Between Sunday and yesterday everything got a really good soaking; but will need it again by tonight.
I had lots of "good intentions" for yesterday, but didn't get a lot of things done. The chairs are finished (note, I did not say *I* finished them! LOL!), the laundry is done, and I got enough groceries to make it through the week. I tried to work on organizing paperwork, but couldn't stay awake for that! LOL!
Hopefully tonight will be more productive, there are a lot of things I need to get done! And, TV will be reruns, so not so much distraction. :)

Today is "Another Look Unlimited Day" ... "Grandma Moses Day" ... "Neither Rain Nor Snow Day" ... "Play Days (09/07-09/11)" ... "Anniversary - Google Founding" ... "Independence Day (Brazil)".
