*Yesterday was probably the coolest Monday I’ve ever had (at least for a normal Monday anyway). Not only did I get flowers at work from my mom (check out the pictures in my previous post), but I also got the Oprah magazine in the mail (my favorite), $10 in Kohl’s cash, and a $10 rewards Old …
Dear Mom
