Lovin’ the weather. It won’t get above 75 degrees today, I don’t think! THANK GOODNESS FOR YESTERDAY’S RAIN!!!

I chatted with Evan Morgan for a long time today. It was GREAT to chat realtime with him. He’s overseas, outside Kabul, Afghanistan, stationed with the US Army (despite his being Air Force) training the Afghan National Army do to the things he does in his job with the USAF. He says it’s been pretty peaceful there, except one recent incident…but no one was killed. If you know Evan, I’m sure he’d appreciate any and all communication he can get during the “down time” he gets. He’s 9 1/2 hours ahead of us time wise and he gets a bit of down time each evening. Let me know and I’ll be more than happy to send you his email address.

Other than that, I’m just cleaning around the house and doing laundry today. My dad’s coming over to help install a water filtration system in my kitchen. I love doing projects like that with my dad. 😀 Regular Sunday dinner club tonight. *YUMMY*

It wants to rain outside. The sky keeps going from bright to dark and the wind is picking up often. I think the humidity outside is around 85% but unfortunately, 84 degrees so I don’t think we’ll get any rain quite yet.

The boys came by and mowed my yard today (I’ve decided to let them do it during marching season) so a nice rain would be really good for it. Hopefully, it’ll cool down this evening so the moisture particles in the air will gather and it will rain.

It’s been a long week and I’ve got some housework to do this weekend (when DON’T I have housework to do?). I’m going to chill out as much as I can, though.

Hope you guys have a good weekend, too!

——————–UPDATE——————–
The skies have opened and it’s finally raining!!! YAY for rain!!!

My yard is quite possibly happier than I am!

I can’t believe I have to wait A WHOLE WEEK for another episode of Grey’s Anatomy. I have to go get season 1 DVDs.

Mon, your hospitality ROCKS!!!

Oh, and WHAT is with the Crossmen and their announcement of moving to SAN ANTONIO???

AND, what is with my heavy use of CAPS LOCK today?

I’m glad I got a fairly good night’s sleep last night because today’s slated to be a busy day! Here are the things I need to do today:

3 loads of laundry

clean the kitchen counters

clean the kitchen floor

deep clean both bathrooms (those are the rooms that always get neglected)

organize the mail I’ve gotten in the last few days

It doesn’t seem like a lot but I know I probably won’t get it all done. 😦 I also need to make a trip down to my folk’s house and I think we’re having our regular Sunday dinner. I have a feeling I won’t be making the dinner tonight. 😦 Okay, better get to it!

———- UPDATE ———-
Okay, I’ve gotten one load of laundry done and started on one bathroom when what happens outside? IT STARTS RAINING!!! YAY for rain!! Except that now, I just want to turn on a movie, curl up on the couch and vegg all day. *ARGH* Make it work!

WHETHER YOU ARE A TEXAN BY BIRTH OR A TEXAN BY HEART……

The Texas Highway Department’s anti-litter slogan “Don’t Mess With Texas” has been nominated for a very prestigious advertising award. If it were to win, a Bronze Plaque would be placed on Madison Avenue’s “Advertising Walk of Fame” in New York City and would also get a permanent place at the Advertising Icon Museum in Kansas City.

Please go to the Advertising Week Favorite Slogan’s Website http://advertising.yahoo.com/advertisingweek_06/slogan_poll.html and vote!

The competition is tough, like “Got Milk? “What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas”; “The breakfast of Champions”; and others; so please vote before September 29, 2006 and tell your fellow Texans to do likewise.

Wouldn’t it be cool for New Yorkers to have to walk past a Bronze Plaque every day that said, “DON’T MESS WITH TEXAS”?

P.S. Please pass this on to all of your Texas friends!! This is a matter of “Texas Pride”! We can win this if everybody forwards the link to their friends, and they vote. Do it now.
