Rainy days and Taco Soup

My day started early, cut and color...
I went a half shade darker since it seems a couple weeks in, but hair lightens so much.
I seem to like it...lol...
Came home to the threats of bad stormy weather.  I had a lunch planned with a friend, but neither of us wanted to go if the weather got bad, and boy did it get bad.
Of course Miss Bella was shaking and fretting...so I laid on the loveseat with her, to calm her and before you know it, I grabbed the throw and we were napping.  Well, I was napping...Nothing like the sound of thunder and falling rain.  Soothes my soul.  Even my hubby laid down for a nap.
Then I thought DINNER...
So a quick run to the store for a few ingredients and a stop to the gym.
Home to make Taco Soup.  It is so good...
