This is me ... "On Tuesday, February 19th, 2008"

Happy Tuesday, February 19th, 2008 Everyone!

Nothing special about today - It's just another day of life - another day of whatever, could be & maybe so.   

So if it's Tuesday - it must be time for another "Ten on Tuesday" but in an effort to be more spontaneous and less predicable I will do something different.  Instead of the usual ... I'm going to do "A Countdown of Random Nancy Thoughts starting at Ten"

10 Things That I will do Today:

1. Make & drink 3 lattes
2. Read: "The Devil in the White City"
3. Journal & scrapbook
4. Check my email & Read some blogs
5. Call Dana & see how her doctor's visit went
6. Call Katy to say HI
7. Kiss Mike good-morning, Good-bye, Hello & Good-night (& many more)
8. Vote in the Democratic Primary for Obama - even though it apparently won't  count for anything.
9. Give myself a Copaxone Injection! Ouch
