It's raining here. Pouring. Again. Still. Water races down the street in front of my house, spraying high as the cars splash through. I expect to see boats launched on the flooded side streets.
The flash flood warning symbol has become a permanent fixture in the lower right corner of our TV screen. At least three family members have had water problems at home - basement, windows, and/or roofs. People in the area are starting to Google plans for an arc.
My poor dog sits with her legs crossed, trying to put off her next trip outside. She's not big on dancing (or peeing) in the rain.
In fact, Gene Kelly would be loving this weather. The rest of us - not so much.
But this could be a good thing. I'm still behind in all things writing (crit group, on line class, blogs, and my WIP) - maybe the rain will keep me at my computer and I can get something done.
So, how are things in your neck of the woods?
I'm currently enjoying: Murder on the Mind by L.L. Bartlett
Groaner of the Day: A software engineer tests new programs by seeing if they're simple enough for his computer-challenged brother to use.
This is known as the "Brother-can-use paradigm".
(Bet you have to say this one out loud a couple times to get it.)
Wow, that really was a groaner. Hope the weather gets better.
ReplyDeleteregards,
mood
It's nice that you can have a sense of humor about it all. Wishing you beautiful days ahead. The weather here is wonderful, BTW. Sorry.
ReplyDeleteI am so sick of the rain! We have tickets to the Dragons tonight. I hope we're able to go.
ReplyDeleteThis weather is really getting to you -- groaner-wise.
ReplyDeleteHoy Moly! I totally forgot my online class. ;0(
Here, we gauge rain by its verticalness as well as intensity, so I feel your pain. Stay dry!
ReplyDeleteThough it isn't as painful as that groaner :)
I'm so tired of rain :( it keeps me at my computer when I'm not working, but only to stare at the screen wishing I could think what it is I'm supposed to be doing. It really just makes me want to curl up with the tv remote and some chocolate and nap to the soundtrack of old musicals.
ReplyDeleteIt took me a few tries to get the groaner... and yes it definitely made me groan LOL
Spring showers and all that. I would think after all that cold weather you'd prefer rain to snow.
ReplyDeleteIt's a good day to watch Singing In The Rain. :)
Shellie - Can you send us some of that wonderful weather. You can even send it postage due.
ReplyDeleteMooderino - I guess the rain brings out the real groaners. *grin*
ReplyDeleteMary - OOPS! What class did you forget?
ReplyDeleteStacy - I hope we get enough of a break in the rain for your game. Go Dragons.
ReplyDeleteCathy - I'm not worrying about verticalness (is that a word?) or intensity, just longevity. As in, will when it stop?
ReplyDeleteMB - Yup, it's doing that to me, too. Although I think I'd go for a good book instead of the tv remote. Monster TBR pile staring at me.
ReplyDeleteMaria - I don't mind rain or snow, each in its season, but this is getting ridiculous. According to the forecast, we're on target to have the wettest April in history. That's pretty wet. We'd need to trade in your chickens for ducks. *grin*
ReplyDeleteAnd, really, is there ever a bad day for watching Singling in the Rain? One of my favorites.
The weather has been way too crazy lately. Hope the rain stops soon for you. We're suppose to have thunderstorms on and off for the next 3 days.

Thoughts in Progress
When I read the groaner in my head, I couldn't get it but once I read it out loud - I got it. Good one.
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy Murder on the Mind. I love this series.
Mason - Crazy is a good word for it. Thunderstorms forecast for us all week, too.
ReplyDeleteDo you think we've annoyed Mother Nature?
Dru - See, I knew that was a "read out loud" groaner. *grin*
ReplyDeleteI'm just starting Murder on the Mind but it looks good so far. Glad to know it has your recommendation.
As I'm only half an hour south of you, it's WET!!! (Moan, groan, grumble.)
ReplyDeleteHeather - and it keeps getting wetter!
ReplyDeleteWhen I lived in Tennessee I used to love the spring rains when the rivers would rise. There was something about it that inspired me.
ReplyDeleteHope you join us in the Blogging from A to Z Challenge Reflections Mega Post on Monday May 2nd.
