when it's raining...

I love the sound of the rain, it gives me a nostalgic, warm, fuzzy feeling that I’ve come to associate with bed.
It’s been raining quite frequently these past few weeks. Although it’s a drag when I have to leave the house because I have to take out my umbrella and travelling is such a pain when it’s raining… but I actually find myself looking forward to curling up in my bed in the evening, listening to the rain fall outside.
Last night, it was raining pretty hard and I got wet trying to get home after buying some groceries. When I got home, as usual I got some chips and milk from the fridge, and curled on my bed to watch reruns of my favorite TV show. It might be a pretty boring pastime for some, but at that particular moment, listening to the rain outside, I was contented and I felt I was right where I needed to be.

Let me share with you some of the things that comes to my mind when it’s raining. I imagine:

• staying at home, eating ice cream
• being with a loved one, cuddling
• having a splash in the rain
• hanging out with friends at my house
• curled up in my bed, reading a good book
• sitting in front of a window, watching the rain
• playing board or card games with my sister
• long talks with my cousins
• with videoke/karaoke, singing like there’s no tomorrow
• chatting with my best friend, clutching pillows
• having a nice warm shower
• watching TV/DVD’s, eating snacks (my favorite)
• playing a computer game
• grabbing coffee with a friend or alone
• drinking warm chocolate fudge with marshmallows

These are just some of the things I think of when it’s raining. I haven’t really done each and every one of them, but I sure would love doing them once I get the chance. How about you, do you love the rain too? What are some of the things you think of when it’s raining?
