Rainy days and Mondays...

When it comes down to it, I guess there are two types of people in the world. Those who like rainy days - and those who don't. I, always have. Well, except for those rainy days that look a little tornado-ish, or those rainy days that ruin outdoor plans. Ok, so, in general... I like rainy days.

Great for finding the snooze button and enjoying 8 more minutes of sleep. Any idea who decided that the snooze button should grant you 8 extra minutes? That's always struck me as strange.

Great for making a big breakfast and hot coffee. I'm liking mine with carmel syrup in it these days. Just when I think that I've exhausted all the sources for sugar... I find carmel coffee syrup. Thank you oh sugar god in the Kangaroo Mart.

Great for catching up with friends. Sitting on the sofa with a lap blanket and talking on the phone. Everybody has something that they want to share with someone else. And what a hopeless feeling to think that nobody out there cares to listen.

Great for going on a date with your man. I want to go shopping or see a movie with mine. We're busy, co-existing, working, not enjoying much quality time. Life just pushes us around in an opposite orbit sometimes.

So... it's Monday, and it's raining. I've had the carmel coffee, the big breakfast, talked with a girlfriend. I think right about here, I'm going to hit the big perverbial snooze button and go grab 8 minutes of quality snuggle time with my man...
