Raindrops on Roses and Whiskers on Kittens…

It’s been raining a whole lot in Atlanta recently. There are just a few things that can immediately rock my mood – and getting rained on is at the very top of that list.  I love curling up on a couch and watching a movie while it’s pouring outside or peering out of my office floor to ceiling and seeing the rain fall on Piedmont Park while I am a busy worker bee - but I’ve had to move around quite a bit in our recent nasty weather and the rain has been coming down s.i.d.e.w.a.y.s. Ugh!  The horror…

Anyway – when I’m feeling like 50 cents, I like to think about the things that make me feel like one million dollars, such as:

10- McDonald’s Oreo McFlurry

Well, I finally got what I’ve been asking for – today is our first sunny day all week!!  And, it is B-E-A-U-tiful outside!  Fingers crossed for blue skies to stay in the A!

    Kind of like when Anjali was asked what she would bring to a deserted island if she could only bring three things and, without pause, said: hairdryer, cheese and wine! :)
