Rainy Reading Day

Yesterday was perfect.  I unexpectedly got the day off (yay for extended weekends) and I was able to relax.  I decided to celebrate my good fortune with a trip to Borders (which is having a going out of business sale *sad face*).  I found an awesome planner for a great price and I bought Kiersten White's newest book, Supernaturally, which I'm sure is going to be AWESOME.  As I was leaving the clouds let loose and a torrential rain began to batter the sun baked parking lot.  I went back in the bookstore and purchased a really awesome umbrella (Yes, it's really awesome and yes I am actually excited about an umbrella purchase). 

I had to drive about 15 miles under the speed limit all the way home because of the rain.  Normally, I would find this irritating to the extreme.  But yesterday I was grateful for the rain and I simply enjoyed my slow drive home.  I did not enjoy my soaked, slippery flip flops, but other than that I was at peace.

My husband had already left for work by the time I got home.  I turned on my laptop and clicked on Spotify  so I could listen to my music library.  Yesterday I rocked out to Adele, Ingrid Michaelson, and Feist.  I opened the blinds so I could see and hear the pittery-pattery rainfall.  Then I changed into some cozy yoga pants, a huge sweatshirt, and some fuzzy socks.  I made myself a glass of hot tea and curled up on the couch with a good book.  Does it get any better than that?  I think not.
