Rain, Rain go away…..
Even for Seattle, this is too much. 26 straight days of the stuff. I’m getting a wee bit tired of the flooding, the mudslides, and feeling damp all the time and let’s not even get started on my hair!! I’ve just started saying yes when people asked if I got my hair permed, why fight it.
Honestly, we really don’t get all that much rain up here, it’s just always gray and people assume its rain. According to CNN: “Though Seattle is famous for its rain, the city's average annual rainfall from 1970 to 2000 was 37.07 inches, compared to 49.71 inches for New York City.” Aha! So there! “Seattle natives often joke that it's easy to spot the tourists and transplants when it's raining because they're the ones using umbrellas.” Well this time we’re all lugging them around. It’s just gross around here.
Things are even grayer at my house. I have a thirteen year old drama queen going through the first (of many) lost crushes. One of Em’s favorite players has been traded (any of you who’ve been around know about our infamous “walks” between periods at the T-Birds games…) She’s been mopping around all week, wearing his picture pin and being very dramatic. I haven’t said a word, I know what it’s like and know better then to try and fix it. Her father on the other hand is in a total stupor. He walks around with this dumbfounded look on his face trying to figure out her problem. He asked me and I simply told him – She’s 13 and a girl. She will get over it when she gets over it and there’s nothing you can do about it - he’s such a guy! Lol! Sunday we have our first game “post-trade”, we’ll see how it goes.
And I’m off. Gotta go check on Hubby. Found him this morning squatting in front of the dishwasher. When I asked him if he was going to empty it or just move the dishes with his mind he informed me he couldn’t get up ‘cuz his back was messed up. So I have to be nice to him now I guess….. hehe!
Have a Great DRY weekend everyone!!
Chat later.
