Things I like about rain

WELL, it is certainly raining here in NYC! First of all, there were thunderstorms last night (somewhat similar to the 'raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens' scene in 'The Sound of Music'...minus the singing, and the Austria, and the Nazis, and Julie Andrews) which I managed to kind of sleep through. Second of all, it was misting as I walked to the subway in Queens...and POURING as I emerged in Manhattan (and this is what we call 'the best borough'? really? REALLY?!?!).

In honor of this wet, hair-ruining, sweaty-morning, why-am-I-not-sleeping?, where-the-ef-is-the-sun?, weather I present:


Things I like about rain

1) Good for plants/trees/environment. I don't really care about plants/trees/the environment but I know some people do and I want those people to like me so...

2) Makes it easier to take a nap. Normally I am plagued by a small sense of 'what if?' when I take a nap. Like, 'what if I should be curing cancer right now instead of taking a nap?' or 'what if I should be out walking around with a metal detector in the hopes of discovering pirate treasure instead of taking this nap?' or 'what if I could be out shopping and buying myself things I don't need instead of lying here horizontally?' etc. etc. But when it's raining, I know that there's absolutely NOTHING I would want to be doing outside/other places besides my bed

3) My rain boots. A girl's got to accessorize, OK?!


FIN.

YUP.

That's REALLY it. I HATE RAIN!
