Singin’ in the Rain*

I really should have written about this yesterday, but I was tired and wet and just decided to watch a lot of Alias instead. haha! Yesterday Twin and I had class together, and as the prof ended early, we decided to to a bit of shopping downtown. I have completely converted her to a love of smelly candles, and so I was showing her the two craft stores downtown where I know that you can buy them. They are about 5-6 blocks apart, so we parked at one, then walked down to the other. As we were walking, we noticed the sky getting dark, but really didn’t think much of it. We were in the store for a few minutes picking out one she wanted (Grandma’s Kitchen… it’s the best candle in the world) and as we got to the register, the sky opened and a wall of water poured out. I have not seen it rain that hard in a lonnnng time.

Anyway, so we waited at the store front for 5 minutes waiting to see if it would let up a bit, and it lightened a little, but not much. By this point it was getting later in the afternoon and she had to be at work by 5pm, so we decided to brave it. We walked the 5 blocks and got absolutely drenched… but it was actually really fun. People were looking at us like we were crazy, and I had the biggest raccoon eyes (running mascara) in the world, but it actually kind of made my day. haha I had forgotten how fun it can be to play in the rain. Really… you should try it. :)
