so…..i can appreciate the benefits and beauty of rain, don’t get me wrong.    but the thing about rain that drives me absolutely INSANE are puddles and the havoc they wreak on the bottoms of my pants…aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh!!

in preparation for my fabulous upcoming road trip, i stopped at the store (hence the drenched pants) and grabbed some essentials that are somewhat laughable in my current home climate….you know, like sunscreen and a rainbow encrusted pink floyd beach towel!  woo hoo!

on a slightly more entertaining note, i came home to find some lovely  anti LDS (mormon) literature stuffed in my door…..it’s all about the church’s treatment of people of col0r and the stances of various prophets since joseph smith and the eevilness (imagine dr evil just said that) of it all….between this and the myriad of church of scientology crap (i am lucky enough to live a block up the street from them) that gets left on my door, i just have more crap for the recycle bin!
