I retired fairly early Monday night because I knew what was ahead of me Tuesday which is Mardi Gras Day. I took a hot bath and shaved my entire body. My eyebrows also needed a little work so I did them and my nails before going to bed. Of course I sleep as JoAnne and this particular night I wore my pale pink shortie gown and panty set.
