The smashing sequel to Singing in the Rain.
Murphy’s Law:
If you are out running, and a rainstorm hits, it will hit when you are far away from home.
Sad to say, Murphy doesn’t like me much. I checked the weather forecast very carefully, and it clearly stated “scattered showers beginning at 10AM.”
Beginning at 10AM, my foot! It was perfectly clear when I left at 7, with only a 10% chance of precipitation listed for 8. But at around 7:45, all hell floods broke loose.
When I finally arrived back home, my mom was there to greet me.
But what did she have in her hands?
A. a soft, dry towel?
B. a warm cup of tea?
Nope, it was a camera, to capture my ridiculous, soaking-wet style. Thanks a lot, mom!
Her words: “I figured you’d want to post a photo for all your blog friends to see.”
How well she knows me! (And, as it turns out, she did have a towel for me too. What a nice mommy.)
Question of the Day:
Have you ever gotten caught in a rainstorm? Or, have you ever been a victim of Murphy’s Law?
For some reason, it seems to rain a lot when I go to the grocery store and have many bags to carry out to the car! As for running in the rain, I kinda had fun yesterday. It cooled me off. At first, the rain was getting in my eyes, which was uncomfortable. But I figured out how to turn my head so it wasn’t a problem anymore. I felt pretty hardcore… until my dad told me he used to play soccer in thunderstorms all the time.
And if you think I look silly when soaking wet, you should see these guys! 🙂
Were you running in the rain on Long Island?
Eric,
Yes.
I was inspired by your ice cream creations and created my own: vegan banana chocolate

I really like your recipes!
Juliane,
Aww thank you so much! Vegan banana chocolate ice cream sounds amazing :).
Do you have any suggestions of other high-quality food processors that are not as costly as the amazing Vitamix?
Amy,
My mom likes her Cuisinart. I really like my Magic Bullet. I don’t know that you could call it “high-quality” but it’s definitely low-maintenance!
Oh…the lovely rain. :o) I went on a motorcyle trip with my husband and some other friends a couple of years ago, and we got caught in a down pour on the interstate….all I could do was laugh at the time. The rain was so cold and stung like crazy on our faces. But looking back, it was so much fun!
I have been caught in the rain many times while running in attempt to “beat the clouds” 😛
Just this past week I was on a 6.5 mile loop and had to turn around when I saw cloud-to-ground lightning right in front of me! The rain finally let up so I got the full mileage in but I was totally soaked and my makeup probably looked like the Joker from Batman. Just another reason to do morning runs with a fresh face!
Molly,
Ugh, I hate hate hate getting mascara in my eyes. It stings for days afterwards!
Ive been caught out running in the rain too.. only I was wearing a white tank since there was no sight on rain on the morning news. Lets just say I ran really really fast to get home! 🙂
Michal,
LOLOL! That reminds me of a poor lady we saw yesterday. Sadly for her, we all could tell that she had on flowered undies 😕
I actually love the rain and going out for a walk in the rain..only if it isn’t windy though! xx
Haha, that’s adorable! I’ve been caught in the rain while walking my pup. Nobody knew that I was gone, so nobody came to save me. 🙁 Haha. I’m not familliar with Murphy’s Law —-> Google. <3
A Teenage Gourmet,
Eek, you’re lucky to not have met his acquaintance! Murphy’s Law is no fun at all.
Oh . . . whoops . . . I see that you already explained it. Silly me.
It looks like you enjoyed it non the less. Better than so hot and humid you can’t breathe, right? I love that your mom captured the moment for your blog friends! That is awesome!
Sarena,
Definitely! That’s what I was thinking the whole time the rain pelted my eyes. “At least it’s not 90 degrees!”
