Rain

It's been raining here in sunny southern California for like four straight days now, which in the non-sunny weather time here is like four years. Actually I rather enjoy it since any weather change is pretty exciting. Still there are some non-fun things about it. Like the SoCal drivers who are driving challenged when it's perfectly dry out. Just imagine how much fun they are to deal with when there's precipitation. And it puts a damper on my surfing what with all the chemicals being washed directly into my playground. But other than that I enjoy rain and the fun activities it brings with it. So to pay homage to what looks like at least another four days of rain my top ten favorite fun things to do (in no particular order) when it rains:

1. Puddle jumping: It is what it sounds like, although the bf couldn't quite understand the appeal of it so maybe it's just me.
2. Walking: Everything looks different and at least in the city cleaner.
3. Puzzles: Haven't done one this time around but always a good time.
4. Board games: See above.
5. Movie watching: I never take the time to do this since there's almost always something more appealing to do outside. Rain's a good excuse to lay on the couch and not get up until entirely caught up on at least one good film.
6. Cooking/baking: Again, being outside isn't as appealing so why not cook and get fatter.
7. Sit on an enclosed patio drinking tea, watching it rain, and taking photos: Done and done!
8. Listen to music: Records, MP3s, tapes, whatever you got. Dance around too if you so feel inclined.
9. Sleep: Also a good time to get caught up on some of that.
10. Read: See above.

What are some of your fav fun rainy day activities/memories?
