It's only 1:30 and I have gotten almost EVERYTHING done on my list to do today! I'm shocked at myself! hehe But I was up earlier and decided to go at it all and get it done with, and I am happy I did because now I have the rest of the day to do other things!
My kitchen is super clean and the floors are vacuumed and mopped. It feels GOOD! The only thing I need to do is fold a pile of laundry and put it away and I'm DONE!
Started my hubby's fav dinner!

1/4 teaspoon cayenne ( I add more cause we like SPICE) a dash of pepper and a
dash of cumin (I like cumin in mine!)
