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! 🙂
the rain suuureee beats last week’s heat!! ilove getting caught in summer storms…it’s kinda fabulous.
Weather.com is indeed a major liar. Yesterday afternoon, after about three or so, it was very sunny. According to weather.com, it was pouring in my zip code — and new york zip codes are very tiny, so I don’t really know how they could screw it up. Oh and it is also supposed to be raining right now and 77….It is sunny and very hot.
haha I love that your mom thought to capture you for the blog. I actually like running in the rain! Except for the whole wet opid situation…anddd as long as there’s no lightning 😀
Danielle,
Yeah, I once had to stash my ipod under a tree because I was worried about it. Luckily it was still there (and still worked) when I got back!
And by “opid” I mean “iPod” ahah
I live in Vancouver. You can’t not get caught in the rain!
OMG, I swear it rains every time I get groceries. Every time.
Wow, you got soaked! I’ve gotten caught in rainstorms a few times. It always happens to be at a really inconvenient time- like when I am walking home with bags full of groceries.
ive gotten caught in a rainstorm.. A COLD WINDY ONE! EW!
omg look at you dancing around haha.. i would say “running around” but im pretty sure it would be hard not to feel like a free bird in a rain storm 😉
Ur adorable!!
What an be better than running in the rain? A shower and workout at the same time!
Spoonfulofsugarfree,
Hahaha we are on the same wavelength. I may or may not have skipped my shower that day. Sorry for oversharing!
Another Vita tip:
I just got mine on Overstock dot com for just 350! I just had to keep checking back every so often because they sell out so fast!
I love running in the rain! Well, I mean perhaps I wouldn’t want to do an entire run in a thunderstorm, but a steady rain is so refreshing (especially when it’s breaking the gross humidity we get up here!) :).
Haha. I love the pictures. You may have been wet today, but I got dirtier. I’m volunteering at an outdoor education camp, and we got in a huge mud fight today. 😀 Would have been nice to have your rain to clean us up afterwards.
Purplegirl,
Oh wow I’ve never been in a mud fight. I bet they are a ton of fun!
Haha, awww. Your mom is so cool! 🙂
Oh my gosh, I love being outside in the rain! It’s so refreshing and always makes me feel so alive 🙂
I don’t like to run in the rain because my shoes get all sloshy and it’s really uncomfortable! Rainy days are treadmill days, for sure. Although I guess it was pretty unavoidable in your situation! I’m glad you at least managed to have fun with it. You have to make the best of every situation right?
I’ve gotten caught in the rain many times…usually at the worst times. Like right after I’ve gotten my hair done. I just have to laugh it off…you can’t control nature, right? 🙂
Iguess Murphy loves me, too! I seem to get caught in the rain when i”m walking the dog and putting groceries in the car. Also, just about every graduation party I go to, all the guests end up crammed like sardines in the house because it’s pouring out! And, of course, IT POURED on my wedding day!
