Rain.

It woke me up this morning, and by "this morning" I really mean 11:32am.  If you're from Seattle and have spent months away from home and moisture, then you'll understand my excitement when I say that I jumped out of bed, opened the blinds, and sat in front of the window like a little kid.  It smelled heavenly.  All day.  It rained three times last summer, and since then.... maybe a couple of times.  Maybe.  It's been a good Seattle type of day.

(This really is a thing of beauty.)

I didn't do my laundry though, and that's usually what I love doing when it's rainy.  Oh, well.  

Have I ever mentioned that Saturdays are my "All Day Sleep Days"?  Yeah... best idea ever.  Besides waking up to look at the rain, I also made some delicious mush (it was soup, but I added some potatoes to it and the starch really thickened it up - so really, it did look like mush), studied a bit, and did Madi's hair for the competition tonight (it was gorgeous - go me!).  But really, today hasn't been very productive.  But that's okay.  

Have I mentioned that I have HOT water again?  I can't get over that.
