spring is here...

and with it the rain!
today was the first not rainy day in i don't know how long... but thankfully tomarrow looks like sunny skies all day long:-) with 0% of percipitation!!! hallelujah!!!
tomarow we go to the city!!!
ed's got some work with a friend, (another hallelujah) and i get to take care of that lame ticket :(
hopefully all will go well, or, if not, i will accept my punishment with a cheerfull heart... 'if you suffer as an evildoer...'
but either way i am so very grateful for the heavens taking a break in their downpour... of course it looks like they'll only pick it up agin.. or dump it all i should say... in a couple days
i think i mentioned somewhere that i hate the rain... well it's not a hate hate, so much as an extreme bummer that can sometimes make me stare out the window crying.... but, i really really really LOVE thunderstorms.... as soon as lightning strikes, i'll run right out in the rain, without a single care... heck i'll even frolick... i really love it... it's my favorite... i almost get a rush just thinking about it...
i have this little ritual i do, especially out in illinois, at my parents where it's so flat you can see for miles and miles and miles, whenever the bolts are flashing, i'll drive the car out somewhere where there's a good view, and i'll just stare into the skies with wonder and awe for hours and hours... sometimes there's afew storms at one time... sometimes theres lightning that fills the entire sky with a dominoe effect, and, though it all happens so fast, it feels like it will never end, it'll do this craxy spider web dance, like a bomb that triggers another bomb, that triggers threee more, and they trigger six, and i feel like my head will explode in excitement...
if it's not raining i'll lay on top of the car...otherwise i usually stay in the car... but i have been known on occasion, to dance outside in the rain during a thunderstorm....
i don't know what it is, but rain without the lightning is like a sandwich without bread... or ice cream that's been sitting out in the sun for days, with ants all over it.. no... it's like your birthday cake... your favorite kind of cake... being eaten by a pack of hyeenas right after they ate some animal... ok that's just gross...
rain wihout lightning, to me, is like finding pencil shavings in the bottom of the cup of coffee you just drank, or poop in your shoe... right after you put your foot in...
allright.. i guess you get my point.. though i don't feel i'm quite hitting the mark...
anyway... rain is especially annoying when you're a family that hang dries your clothes... especially since all the mudd and stuff makes the clothes dirty faster, and you really hate using the dryer endlessly, like it seems you do with a newborn, and a toddler in cloth diapers...
ah well..
all that to say, i'm really gonna enjoy the sun tomarrow.. even though i won't get the much loved bonus of hanging my laundry in the yard and smelling it every time i open my back door... cuz i'll be in the city...
but that's a fun bonus in and of itself.. so enough rambling, i'm going to bed now...
