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! 🙂
As long as the rain is warm, I LOVE getting caught in the rain.
Rainy season in the Philippines spans from late June/July until around September (give or take a few months) and I love frolicking in the (albeit acidic) warm rain showers, feeling the water really thundering down around me.
I lived in New England for a while and it rained a lot, yet not with the same powerful force. I found it funny how many of my friends would freak out about “storms” when the word that came to my mind would have been “drizzle” or “shower”. 😛
This post made me laugh–not AT you, but WITH you–haha 🙂 I carried an umbrella with me on my walk today because I was afraid it would rain buckets and it didn’t even sprinkle. Ya never know!
@Little Bookworm – I got it through Google Reader, so it’s coming through on some RSS feeds. x
Little Bookworm,
Thanks for letting me know! Hopefully my post today will show up :-?.
I love running in the rain! It’s so exhilarating…unless, of course, you’re a clutz like me, slip in a puddle, fall, and hurt yourself :/ Oh well, just a few battle scars, right?
Its always when I am as far away from home as I planned on being… right there… when I am only halfway through the run… BAM. Some moments, soggy soaked and fun. Other monents, just soaked. 🙂
Hi Katie, just saw your comment. No, it never showed up on your RSS feed.
I love that someone was there to take pictures haha I don’t mind the rain until my feet get wet!
Hey Katie, I took your no makeup challenge and put up a picture of myself on my blog.
lol, I love being in the rain, if it’s warm out otherwise. I think I’d abandon my running for some good old fashioned puddle-jumping, though 🙂
