lots & lots of it...

It's very strange going from 80 degree weather to lots of rain in a few days time, but it is very welcomed here in Southern California as we really need it.  I try not to drive around alot when it is raining, as we tend to have alot of people here on the road that have never seen water on the ground and they get very confused at the strange happening. It's just much nicer being in a warm and cozy place and just gazing out the window at the raindrops.  However, I was out and about very early this morning finishing up some shopping before the crowds were out in force.  I am an early bird and nothing pleases me more than empty stores, so I shop as soon as they open - so much more pleasant!  I hope everyone has a wonderful week ahead and is staying cool, calm and collected during this holiday season!

a strange thing has happened...

We have a little thing called RAIN happening today outside.....So I happily brought out the umbrella and put on my turtleneck sweater.  Although we really didn't have much of a summer, the older I get the more I enjoy the cooler weather and layering on the clothes. I hope it sticks around for a few days!  I just want to curl up with a book and sip on hot apple cider, but off to work I must go!

On a another note I had a nice dinner out with a couple of my girlfriends.  We went to a small French restaurant and had a fabulous time!  It felt like I was in Paris all over again!!

Have a beautiful day today!

a little rain..

Yesterday on the way into Simon's service, the skies

had really opened up and rain was pouring like crazy.

I was looking in the trunk of our car for Alex's umbrella

and I stepped in a huge puddle - my pants were wet up

to my knees almost and my boots (not rain boots) are

still wet today. It was kind of funny, as everyone that

attended the service was soaking wet....we all looked

like drowned rats - nicely dressed ones, but drowned

rats nonetheless..... Since, the rain is probably here

for awhile, I think maybe some rain boots

will be purchased tonight and a larger umbrella...:)
