What a wonderful Monday,  even though it rained most of the day..  My Monday was awesome..  I got so much done today..  I love when I can see what I have done..  Cosmetics tomorrow..  Yay!!  I haven't been over there for a week,  I am sure it is a mess..  will be nice to get it back together too..  :)  I wasn't going to cook dinner tonight,  was just going to have tomato soup and grilled cheese,  but the girls convinced me to cook,  and I am glad that I did..  I love trying new recipes..  I love being in the kitchen,  especially when I have someone to talk to.. and my Boo kept me company..
