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! 🙂
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!”
This looks like SO much fun!!!!!!!!! If I didnt hate running I’d join you!!! 😛
Oh yeah, got caught in a thunderstorm riding my bike back from the repair shop! If there’s one thing to be grateful for when wearing spandex, it doesn’t feel any different soaking wet;)
That must have been quite a downpour! I love getting caught in the rain as long as I’m not heading to class or something. Summer rain is so refreshing after all the heat.
Hey, that’s not fair! I love rain but I almost never get caught in it!
Oh well … At least you got a shower 😀
I love running in the rain too! Especially in the summer- it’s been so hot lately that I look forward to rain!
Awe!! this looks like SO much fun!! YAY for puddle jumping!!!
Ahh I would have died! I am such a baby with rain I hate getting wet! I used to work at a vet and would hate to have to walk the dogs in the rain, I would wear a huge over-sized raincoat with the hood zipped all the way up even in like 100 degree weather! Your a ballsy girl!
Looks like a lot of rain – not fun. Just thought I would let you know this post does not seem to be showing up on your rss feed? Hope you have a great day!
Little Bookworm,
I’m embarrassed to admit I don’t know much about my RSS feed! Did it ever show up?
I love running in the rain, even when it pours. I’m usually all sweaty and gross anyway, lol. It rained buckets when I ran my first half-marathon and since that day I actually seek out rainy runs! 🙂
When Maman and I were on vacation, it started pouring absolute buckets when we stepped off of the metro. We were only a few blocks from the hotel, but naturally we left the umbrella in our room. It made for a fun afternoon though. 🙂
I got caught in rain a couple week ago when I was running, but it was just my last mile and I was hot and sweaty, so it was wonderful. Today I rode my bike 15 minutes home from work in a thunderstorm (yes, I could have asked or called for ride, but I wanted to do it!). It was exhilarating! Only problem was the lake in my shoes and difficulty seeing. I love that your mom was ready to take pic!
hahahah your mom’s awesome! 😀 Of course, it would have been great if she had a fuzzy towel to accompany the camera but at least you got good pictures out of it! My dad and I have run into Murphy’s Law a few times. Everytime I’m home, we go for a walk on a greenway that’s close by. It’s two miles one way and the rain ALWAYS hits right when we reach the other side. Now, I’d have no problem running but he kind of does, so we casually walk the two miles back to the car. It’s happened a few times..not the typical “go home” tradition, but I’ll take it! 😛
Mary,
My dad and I have a rain tradition too: Go to Whole Foods. It will rain.
😕
