i like the rain. i like it when it is raining and i’m sitting warmly at home, nice and dry. i do not like driving in the rain. i do not like walking in the rain, either. so far today, i’ve had to walk in the rain to get to my car only to drive my car in the rain to park it so that i can again walk in the rain.

why did the day take this sudden turn for the worse?

well, what’s worse is wearing baggy jeans that drag on the wet ground. that’s why today, i decided to wear a belt and to wear my jeans higher than normal to minimize my wetness. indeed, it seemed like a good strategy, but it is a little uncomfortable.

no matter, it is friday and i’m eager to get some work done and plow through the day so that i can go back home and comfortably stay warm. that’s the plan and i’m sticking to it.

days like this make me want to just stay in, though. maybe i’ll take advantage of the [url=http://www.brookstone.com/shop/product.asp?product_code=403147&search_type=search&search_words=backgammon&prodtemp=t1&cm_re=Result*R2C1*A]3-in-1 game set[/url] that my sister got me for xmas and learn how to play backgammon. i’ve never learned how to play it before so it’s interesting because i’ve seen it from forever ago. i do wonder why it is that i never learned the game and always opted to play checkers instead.

anyhow, it seems like a fun game, so we’ll see how it really is in action.

i never realized that this was a betting game, though. very interesting! i wonder what kind of bets will come out of this game. maybe we will play a penny a point or something. we’ll see.
