We have already strolled about in the rain (seeing as that is the only weather we have this summer in New England)

I almost feel as if I should have a tattoo of this put ON MY ASS. Yesterday we had a tornado watch for our state, as there had been a funnel cloud sighted in the Western parts. Last week we registered a 5 inch rain and who the hell knows what the total is for this week alone. All I know is that much of my world looks like THIS:


I fully expect Pappa Smurf to emerge from his mushroom village any time now. Maybe he would like to go out on a date. You know, that social THING I have not had since February?
