Yesterday it rained. . . All. Day. Long. I'm not complaining though, because I love the rain. Okay, I did complain a little bit on Facebook first thing that morning because I couldn't find my umbrella anywhere and got totally drenched on my way into the office, but I got over it. Who cares if my hair was flat as a pancake and I looked like a drowned rat. I'm not out to win any beauty contests at work anyway. Good thing, since I wouldn't win one even if I didn't have flat hair! But back to the rain. . . It was one of those "I wish I was a kid again" kind of days. I used to love to play in the rain. When I was a little girl, I had a red raincoat and matching rubber boots and I'd splash and splash in the mud puddles. My sister and I had cute little bubble umbrellas with colored stripes around the bottoms and we thought they were the grandest! I loved taking long walks in the rain. I could walk forever without a care in the world. It was that kind of walking-in-the rain day yesterday. Not coming down in buckets and not so cold out that you couldn't stand it. The wind wasn't blowing so hard it would turn your umbrella inside out and there were lots of mud puddles to splash in along the way. If I had had my umbrella, I would have walked on my lunch break, but I remembered I left it in my sister's car the last time she came up for a visit. Aha! I guess SHE'S to blame for my bad hair day! Since rain is in the forecast for the rest of the week, I better stop at Walgreens for a new umbrella on my way into work. Maybe they'll have a cute little bubble one with a red stripe around the bottom!
