The drive tomorrow will suck as I live in "corn country" USA which means open fields and heavy drifting on my commute tomorrow. Did I mention falling temps?<br /><br />The way I look at it is you do what you have to do when you "do it". Work is flexable enough after 10 yrs to know when you get there you get there. It's obviously what you "do there" once you "get there" that counts.Jeanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14901963533031920633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-87227438514403178732010-01-25T21:57:28.190-06:002010-01-25T21:57:28.190-06:00What cute and fun new avatars today!

KeaauRich, when my niece was getting married last year, my sister asked everyone in the family what our favorite love songs were, "My Cup Runneth Over" was my choice! There's nothing filled with more emotion than Ed Ames (or Ken Delo) singing that song!<br /><br />Wow, IPO! Once our weather clears up, I tend to forget it's still winter everywhere else. It's a nice, breezy 64 here in Fort Lauderdale at about 11 pm. It's been cloudy and overcast the past 3-4 days.
