Good morning and Happy Monday!
What? You don’t like that one? Okay, I can go really old-school:
Better than Starbucks, am I right? Pffft. No, I’m not buying it either. I’m not in the mood to “adult” today. Nothing’s wrong, it’s just the first day of the work week and it’s chilly outside and I’d rather be in bed with the covers pulled up to my chin, watching cartoons.
