Good Morning! Thursday November 4, 2010

Good morning! It is a wonderful morning. It's starting out foggy; but the fog will fade into cloudy. Today will be mid 50s, gray and rainy. While I have said many times how much I love fall, this is also a "typical" fall day. It would be a good day to curl up with a book if I didn't have so many things to do. :)
Yesterday: I managed to get a bit more decluttering done. Are you wondering why I'm always "decluttering" and never done? LOL! So am I. Things always get just put down ... then I have to go back and put them in their proper homes. And some of it ... I don't know, I think perhaps poltergeist sneak in at night? LOL!
Today: It's another vacation day (yes, I had a really lot saved up! I still have 7 more to go before Thanksgiving). I have a lot of things planned, and really hope I don't give in the the "rainy-day syndrome" and take a nap. Today is the beginning of my pre-Christmas decorating prep work. I will be packing away my "usual" decorations, and cleaning surfaces; plus the "usual" stuff like laundry! :)

Today is "Mischief Night" ... "National Chicken Lady Day" ... "National Men Make Dinner Day" ... "Use Your Common Sense Day" ... "Flag Day (Panama)" ... "Victory Day (Italy)".
