So This Happened
September 17, 2011
It rained. I can not even remember the last time it rained here.
Saturday the sky turned dark and ominous. And suddenly it began pouring. I was stopping at a store on my way to 10 yr old son’s football game. So I got to walk through the parking lot in the rain. Wearing a white tank top. OF COURSE I WAS. I texted Susan and she said, “Dear God I hope you are wearing a bra.” I assured her that I was. And it was strapless and black. Something everyone could now see for themselves. Just keeping it KLASSY.
People were dancing in the parking lot. People were taking photos. Rain is like having a spaceship full of aliens land in the Target parking lot. You have to post that shit on Facebook.
Then within five minutes it stopped. The sun came back out. And five minutes later you never would have even known rain had fallen.
Good thing there was a parking lot filled with people photographing it with their phones. Otherwise it would be like it never happened.

The dogs were out on the balcony and started barking. It hasn’t rained in so long, I think they forgot what i was. Or maybe they were barking for joy. I took my baby out on the balcony to for her first introduction to rain, she might not see it again til she’s one.

September 19th, 2011 at 2:08 pmHmmm. I live in Ireland. We take out our cameras when the sun comes out. I got very few photos this summer! And my son is playing a football match as we speak, in the dark and the rain. I don’t love him enough to watch this match!
September 19th, 2011 at 2:31 pmWe need the rain so bad. Fort Worth got a fairly decent amount this weekend. We still need a ton more. Sorry the rain didn’t last longer in your area. Hopefully your shirt dried quickly and you get more rain soon.
September 19th, 2011 at 4:59 pmWhen we lived in Texas years ago (in Corpus Christi) I had two little guys who loved bubbles. So all summer long, we played with the bubbles in the backyard on the wrap around driveway. When it FINALLY rained, I think I had the only driveway in Texas that actually looked like a bubble bath!

September 19th, 2011 at 9:59 pmMy friend renalfailure.wordpress.com just wrote about how crazy it would have been to have twitter etc during the civil war; ““Foursquare says General Lee has just checked into at Antietam with 20,000 of his friends.” social media is a mixed blessing
