Summer Solstice 2008

Solstices occur twice a year, when the tilt of the Earth's axis is most oriented toward or away from the Sun, causing the Sun to reach its northernmost and southernmost extremes. Today marker the Summer Solstice, the beginning of summer.. In the Northern Hemisphere the longest day and shortest night of the year occur on this date. In 2008 that day is TODAY! June 20, 2008 at 7:59 P.M. EDT or 4:59 PDT.

And what a perfect day too. The weather peeps say it’s supposed to get to the upper 70’s today. The only thing that would make it better would be if I were home, sitting on the back patio with a fantastic Strawberry Margarita in one hand and a good book in the other.

Speaking of books… My sister has recommended a couple for me to read. They are, “"The magic of thinking big"; "Feel the fear and do it anyway"; "What to say when you talk to yourself"; "The Secret". I hope to pick up the first two up this weekend.


More random things.. I’m going to a cocktail party next Thursday hosted by Christian Siriano, recent winner of Project Runway! He’s FIERCE! It’s going to be fun! Tom & Shawn, Aaron & Randy, Cheryl & ME! and Sandy are going for sure…. We’ve RSVP’d! They are going to auction off one of Christian’s creations and the proceeds are going to Gay City Health Project. It should be a lot of fun.
