Finally Tuesday!!!! (Pasta With Tomato Cream Sauce)

I made it to Tuesday..  it has been a rough 6 days..  being sick, working 6 days straight,  2 of them closes and then 2 opens..  my body hurts,  my feet are screaming at me,  which means it's time for new shoes..  I go through work shoes like crazy..  but I guess that happens when you are on your feet 8 hours a day, constantly moving..  I re-aggravated the stress fracture in my left foot..  yay me.. life is one big adventure..  :)   I am also closer to seeing my Buttercup this weekend,  I miss her sweet face..  Since it has been storming/raining off and on all day I decided to make a pasta dish for dinner..  I have made it a couple times before and it is so simple and delish..
