Good Morning! Tuesday November 23, 2010

Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. The unseasonably warm is still hangining in, with a high today in the low 70s. It's gray out, will be mostly cloudy and maybe some sprinkles. A good rain would be nice; I think we have a chance of that by the end of the week.
Yesterday: I had to run errands after work, and got home late; and of course got almost nothing done here. But I did watch Dancing .. and I think I may have to give up my "usual" (which I can catch on rerun) to see the Dance finale. I still want Jennifer to win; and I wouldn't be totally unhappy if Kyle won. 'Nuff said. LOL! I also watched the new show, "Skating With The Stars". Not sure about that one yet, but might be ok.
Today: After work, if nothing comes up I need to do, I'm hoping to at least wrap some gifts and sew! :)

Today is "Labor Thanksgiving Day (Japan)" ... "Fibonacci Day".

Qoutes of the Day:
"Laws are like sausages. It's better not to see them being made."
-- Otto von Bismarck

"I know who I am. No one else knows who I am. If I was a giraffe, and someone said I was a snake, I'd think, no, actually I'm a giraffe."
-- Richard Gere

"Neither enemy faces, nor the mothers that love them, come to mind when one is thinking of nothing but endeavouring to survive. Philosophising about war is useless under fire."
-- Linda Berdoll
