   Happy Friday!! I know I had said that I was taking today off… but… the best laid plans….  LOL or just call it my life!  There is one thing that my husband and I have learned in the last year and a half and that is you don’t plan, you just roll!!  So I am hoping to be able to take next Friday off.  Thus if you don’t see a post from me next Friday you know why.  Yippee!!  And if you do, well then you will know that once again things didn’t go as planned.  Pretty simple huh??!!  :) I hope you enjoy this week’s unexpected selection of quotes.   I’ll see you with some new ones in a week or hopefully two!! Have a lovely Friday and GO HAWKS!!! …geri     Motivation gets you going; habits take you there.  ~Unknown     It is your attitude at the beginning of a task that determines success or f...

   Happy Friday!    I hope this finds your morning starting off swell.  :)   They say another really warm one for us.  Topped 90 again yesterday and they say more of that today and Saturday.  WOW, where do I live again???  Not very Seattle-like this summer.     But me and my flip flops LOVE it. I'd take heat any day over the dreary, cold, dark, winter days.  So bring on the sunshine!!     I hope you have a fabulous weekend.  Enjoy the quotes and I’ll see you next Friday with some new ones.  …geri      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~   People are like sticks of dynamite;  the power’s on the inside but nothing happens until the fuse gets lit.  ~MacAnderson     We first make our habits, and then our habits make us.  ~John Dryden     The future ...
