Good Morning! Sunday February 13, 2011

Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's bright and clear; and while I haven't been out yet, I really don't think it's terribly cold. If I remember right (which is doubtful, but anyway), now we're past that last bit of snow it's going to warm up. We might even be well on the way to spring! :)
Yesterday: We had a very nice relaxing day. I did what little I could to "help out"; but actually, pretty much everything was done, just a few last minute touch ups. My DGS had a very nice party. Not very many showed up (not a whole lot were invivted to start with .. not a very big house for too many rambunctious 10 year old boys! LOL!), but everyone had a good time. My son's homemade pizza was a big hit; and DIL's (chocolate!!) cupcakes were also. After the guests went home, the rest of the day was spent just napping, watching TV, and munching away on "left over" pizza!
Today: I'm up early - earlier than everyone else at least - as usual. We'll be heading home in a little while, but need to go take some boxes out of the car first. Once everyone is up, showered and dressed, and the boxes out, we'll probably head on home ... lots waiting for me to do there! :)

Today is "Employee Legal Awareness Day" ... "Get A Different Name Day" ... "The Grammy Awards" ... "Madly in Love With Me Day"
