Happy Tuesday Everyone! day two of a week of rain here. Just for more excitement, thunderstorms are possible. What better way to spend a rainy day than shopping.
I love Bath & Body Works and we're running low on hand soap. Lucky me as they're having a sale. I used to buy cheap soap for the bathrooms but they didn't last long and really made my hands dry.
I don't remember how I got hooked on Bath & Body Works. Maybe someone gave me a gift? However it happened, I'm glad because now I spend a little more, but it lasts a heck of a lot longer so in the end it all works out about the same.
Aside from shopping I do have the usual stuff to do around the house. But, dreary rainy days aren't very motivating for getting stuff done.
Then there's the daily "what's for dinner" decision. I think I'm going to make meatloaf with mashed potatoes. Then we'll have leftovers for sandwiches.
Hope everyone is having a good day.

Enjoy your sun! I'm sure it's a welcome sight from all that soggy rain you've been having.
Chicken nuggets and fries sound like a good idea for dinner. Aren't you tired of trying to come up with ideas every night? I am.

@Marilynda1225 - We may have a little rain tomorrow, but nothing serious.
YES! After 53 years of cooking every day I am tired of inventing new ideas every day for lunch and dinner.

@LadyDuck it's only recently that I can understand when my mother used to say she was so tired of cooking.

You know who else has nice soap and lotion?...Williams Sonoma. I don't buy it regularly because it is expensive..but I like it. I think it might be drizzling out, but the rain wasn't supposed to come until this evening. Yesterday was a nice day here but it rained at night. Weds is a rain day here. At least we don't have the tornadoes like poor Amber.

@Marilynda1225 It is supposed to turn cold here for a couple of days, but not snow cold..just below average. I have some kind of designer soap sis got me now, but it is like the stuff you find at craft shows seems to be good quality though.

I would imagine that Williams Sonoma would have nice hand soap since everything they sell is high end, That's one of the best things about online shopping and browsing. I think sometime later I might just have to browse there.
I'm very happy we don/t have tornadoes like Amber or all the snow that Valerie is getting. I'll be happy with our week of rain.

@Marilynda1225 I have a really sore throat today, and it is growing worse by the hour.
The chicken should feel soothing for that.

I was thinking of stew for this bone chilling day but decided to go with meatloaf instead. I think the idea if a meatloaf sandwich tomorrow was what convinced me.
Sounds like our weather is similar

Your dinner sounds delicious. Yes, I also find rainy days de-motivating sometimes.

I'm more inclined to want to read or crochet on rainy days.

Sounds like you're having a good day. As for me I'm doing many different things inside and outside, little by little things are getting done.
