A Bit O' Annoying

drenched, originally uploaded by andebos.

You know, there are days when I absolutely love the rain...those kinda ugly fall days when it's chilly and rainy out! There's nothing better than hearing the rain beat down as you read an engaging book or watch a relaxing movie. So - I won't say it sucks... however, tonight, it's annoying. I just got home from grocery shopping. On the way there it wasn't raining, but on the way out, not so much clear anymore. Now, a thoughtful person wouldn't have been wearing what I was wearing, but whatever, ignore that. (I was wearing sweat pants way to large for me...the lazy sunday day sweats) Naturally they drug on the ground - but, as I said before, ignore that poor choice in outfit. I trodded my way out to the car carrying way to many bags in my hand to hold my pants out of the water and ugh...now I'm sloshing in these guys. Oh well, God bless the rain! My biggest thought through it all was this though: Most days, at least since I've moved here, the notion of being married...well, it seems like a pain - a burden. Now, I have many happily married friends and this isn't a bash against marriage - all I'm saying is that to me, it seems kinda like trouble. But, tonight, I thought...wow, having a wife would have been nice because she could have helped me carry these bags out. Hmm, and helped pay...perhaps in some cases, 2 are better than 1. Anyway, pointless blog - all I know tonight is this: when it rains and your pants get wet, nothing feels better than changing into shorts...thank goodness I didn't wear socks too!! for water and, socks and sandals, come on now!!

p.s. I'm reading Experiential Storytelling by Mark Miller - if you haven't read this book, buy it and read it! It's nothing overly dramatic when your heads up to what's going on...but, it's excellent in terms of where our lives head in terms of story.
