Good Morning! Tuesday October 6, 2009
Good morning! It's a wonderful fall morning. It's still drizzly out, after a mostly all day rain yesterday. They say it's going to stay mostly cloudy, though not so much rain, and upper 60s today. That's a perfectly nice fall day; though I might be glad --for once-- that I don't have a window at work! LOL!
I always over estimate what I can get done at home after work; but I did get 2 loads of laundry done. I also straightened up my work area, so I could see just what I do have to get done. Also, with the cooler days ahead, I spent a bit of extra time when putting up laundry to pull out some warmer fall shirts for work. It's time to retire summer clothes. Since I don't have 4 separate wardrobes (I wish! LOL!!), I have to make the transitions gradually.
Hopefully tonight I'll get sewing done. I'm really getting behind, and running out of time on some projects.
There are only 80 days until Christmas!!
Today is "Jackie Mayer Rehab Day" ... "Mad Hatter Day" ... "Physician Assistant Day" ... "World Habitat Day" ... "National German-American Day" ... "Armed Forces Day (Egypt)" ... "Ivy Day (Ireland)".
Quotes of the Day:

In 1927, the movies began learning to talk. "The Jazz Singer" starring Al Jolson, Hollywood's legendary "first talkie," premiered in New York, ushering in the era of sound to great moviegoer enthusiasm and heralded the end of the silents.
In 2001, Cal Ripkin Jr. retired after a spectacular baseball career with the Baltimore Orioles that included playing in a record 2,632 consecutive games.

Good Morning! Monday October 5, 2009
Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. I woke up to rain! We need rain; and what is more perfect, after a gloriously beautiful weekend, than a rainy Monday morning! :) We did not put up "all" the decorations yesterday. In the end, I couldn't bring myself to put them all out quite this early. But, we got some "infrastructure" done. That was the hard part (and wouldn't have gotten done without my friend and my neighbor figuring it out!). The plans are all in place, and some other small things in place. Now I just have to find where I put the lights last year! LOL!
Tonight I hope to get back on the neglected sewing. I have a lot of things coming up over the next few months, and I really have to be more organized with the time I have.

Good Morning! Sunday October 4, 2009
Good morning! It's a beautiful morning! Yesterday turned out to be much warmer than I expected, but was a lovely day just the same. I think today is supposed to be a bit cooler (upper 70s), though I missed the revised weather forecast last night. It should be a really lovely day for being outside, which is what I plan to do!
We didn't get the outside started yesterday, but sure had a lot of fun polishing up ideas for it (and going on a "window-shopping" spree!!! Some stores have a lot of Christmas stuff out - yay!! LOL!) I did, however, get a lot of the cleaning things done I needed to. Today we will tackle some of the outdoor things; but since the grass has not obliged us by stopping growing, we'll wait a few more weeks for some of the things that will go in the yard. :)
I got so excited seeing so many ideas yesterday ... and there are only 82 days left until Christmas!!
Today is "Intergeneration Day" ... "Ten-Four Day" ... "World Communion Sunday" ... "Anniversary - Sputnik" ... "Independence Day (Lesotho)".

Good Morning! Saturday October 3, 2009
Good morning! It is a gorgeous morning! The early morning clouds have all moved on, and it's bright and clear. It should only go to low 80s today, so will be great for getting outdoor things done.
Last night I finally got back into my projects. I tied and clipped threads (unfortunately, found some places to be hand stitched - but that won't take long); wound bobbins; and did a bit of sewing on several projects.
This morning I've already gotten a load of laundry done, and the kitchen floor swept and mopped!! YAY!! Of course, I still have to go mop it again ... one of those strange floors that never really looks clean. Mopping it shiny helps! LOL! Today is the day we planned to start putting up outside decorations (after making the mistake of waiting too late last year, and it got too cold). I think there might be some "extra" excursions in the afternoon before the decorating starts! :)
Today is "World Card Making Day" ... "Anniversary - German Reunification" ... "Chusok (Korea)" ... "National Foundation Day (Korea)".

"By common consent gray hairs are a crown of glory."
