Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. It's not light yet, and probably won't be much - still cloudy. It will be low 40s, which isn't warm but at least above freezing! Another system is moving in; but the weather gurus can't seem to get a handle on this one. It will probably rain by tonight. It *could* snow. Seems to be a guessing game! LOL!
Yesterday: After work I had to pick up a package at Wal-Mart, and did a bit more shopping. I'm almost completely done ... much later than I hoped, but I keep having trouble making up my mind. :) I dug in and got quite a lot of decluttering done at home - though, as always, not as much as I hoped. All of the trees are in place now, though not finished yet.
Today: I'm trying to get a few things done this morning, and then I get to take the rest of the day "off". My Christmas/birthday present from my DS & DDIL is a "Straight No Chaser" concert (if you don't know who they are, search YouTube!!). It will be "girl's day out" ... DDIL, DGD and myself .... lunch, concert, shopping. The guys are going out for wings and who knows what else! LOL!
Christmas is 7 days from today!!!
Today is "UN International Migrants Day" ... "Republic Day (Niger)" ... "Feast of Our Lady of Solitude (Mexico)".
Quotes of the Day:
"Curious things, habits. People themselves never knew they had them."
-- Agatha Christie
"People who say they sleep like a baby usually don't have one."
-- Leo J. Burke
"Laughter is the closest distance between two people."
-- Victor Borge
"Eccentricity is not, as dull people would have us believe, a form of madness. It is often a kind of innocent pride, and the man of genius and the aristocrat are frequently regarded as eccentrics because genius and aristocrat are entirely unafraid of and uninfluenced by the opinions and vagaries of the crowd."
-- Edith Sitwell
