Rainy Day

Today was a typical stay at home rainy day. Lot's of homework and as you can tell completely redoing the blog (which I hate to say takes me awhile). Bought a maxi skirt yesterday. Really unsure about it. Newel said it's cute but sometimes I think he might lie. (Just kidding honey I don't think you ever lie, you're just the best!) Katie says it's cute, and she's cute so I can believe her. But my go to is Camie, which may be weird because a lot of people say she dresses like a boy but she will tell me the truth. So Cam how is it? Ugly or Good?

Two things that haven't changed from when I was 6 years old. I still hate when the thick line on your sock doesn't line up with your toes, I could barely even finish my work out because it was bothering me so much. But don't worry I didn't cry this time, fortunately that has changed! I am still afraid of thunder and lightening! I claim it's because I saw lightening hit the ground when I was little. But today when I was walking to Target I walked straight into a storm. A thunder and lightening kind of storm. With an umbrella above my head and skirt held up in my hand I started walking real fast the whole time thinking "I'm definitely going to get struck by lightening!" Unfortunately it's still hot and humid when it rains so you still get sweaty when you speed walk. Lose, lose. This picture was supposed to help my case and show the bad weather, I don't think it does it justice.

I really shouldn't complain though because my rain experience was not as bad as Newel's. Like I said yesterday he was SO excited to ride his bike to work today, which he did. Too bad it was the worst weather day since we've been here! So he was stuck riding his bike home in the pouring rain. I offered to come and pick him up and we could share my umbrella on the way home but he didn't think that was such a good idea.

Our friends came over for a BBQ despite the horrible weather. Katie and Kevin and our new friends Kyle and Ellie. So I decided to make cookies for dessert, good change up from the cleaning. I love making cookies even though I did have to make it from a package this time. Little supplies equals easiest cooking methods possible! Our oven is a little weird too, no preheat light, that's not normal right? Am I supposed to stick my hand in and know it's hot enough? That doesn't seem safe. So I spent a lot of time just staring at the oven hoping my cookies don't burn because there is nothing worse than getting real excited about hot gooey cookies and getting rock hard black cookies.

Inside BBQ was successful. I really like our friends. I hope were not just Connecticut friends and we're friends when we get home. Isn't that just the worst when you meet people in certain environments and they are just awesome and you become great friends and then you take the environment away and there goes the friends. Stinks. I don't think it will be that way though, they're great.
