I just felt like blogging

Thursday night when I got home it looked cloudy and I had heard some thunder, but not seen any rain yet. When I had been home about 5 or 10 minutes it started to rain HARD. The wind blew strong and you couldn't see past the end of the porch for the rain.

We were going to go out but we decided to wait until it stopped raining or at least slowed down some. Finally a break in the rain (to a heavy sprinkle) so my dh headed out to the car to unlock it so we could just jump in. I gave him a couple minutes then dd and I ran for it. Not noticing that he had left the two front windows down for the monsoon, I jerked the door open and plopped down in a squishy seat.... immediately disgusted. I had just bought those capris, too! So, we were in the car, it was pouring again so no use changing now. To the restaurant we went. Wet butts and all.

We went to one of our favorites, Rib Shack. They have great food there and it's always packed from Thursday to Saturday. It was packed, as usual. I went in. Walking slowly in the rain as I was about to be further humiliated and the music of doom was playing in my head.

I got some stares, but it was raining so I guess they figured it out. I went to the restroom first and dried my feet and my sandals (yeah, good choice in footwear, dumbbunny). I went back and sat down. In the heavy pine, heavy laquered chair. Remember what happens to heavily laquered coffee tables when you don't use a coaster? Well...

I felt my behind drying as I was sitting there (for about 30 minutes). When I got up I was glad my butt felt dry. But I was shocked to find a white model of my backside and legs imprinted on the chair. Even the wrinkle in the seat of my pants was there as a dark spot in the white imprint.

We laughed and so did management when I told them what I did to their chair. Of course, I had to tell them who was responsible in the first place. DH. It was pretty funny, though.

On another note, I got a reverse compliment today. Not an insult, really, but I was told "Man, you look different today. You looked so cute yesterday." I had on those new capri's and a new top I bought for a lunch affair on Wednesday. It wasn't something I would usually wear. It was one of those tops that makes you look preggers if you don't stand up straight. It bothered me so that I almost tucked it in. Anyway, I said thank you to the complimenter. The other thought didn't hit me til later on.

I sure hope dh mows the lawn tomorrow. He is off work so maybe he will if it's not raining. I need to work on Sunday. My job can easily get away from me so I have to catch up sometimes. Besides, i can use the overtime for my book fund.

Speaking of that, i have to go tomorrow and pick up my new book from bookland. Solitude of Self by Elizabeth Cady Stanton. I can't stop buying books. Even though I know there is no more room for anymore in my room and I don't need to be spending the money on them I CAN'T STOP. I have to have a new (or used) one every month. At least one. Being in paperbackswap bookclub helps curve my expenses tremendously and it's like getting a present in the mail. I really enjoy it. Between that and the thrift shops here I can feed my craving pretty regularly! I need to ask my sister if she'll send me that Huck Finn book I asked her about. I just remembered that. We will see each other maybe in a few days or weeks who knows. Thank goodness for email!
