Rain, Rain, Go Away

It seems like it's been raining forever here in Philly.  Ok, only since yesterday, but I'm stick of it.  I even tried to go out and run last night.  I ghetto-rigged my ipod in a plastic sandwich bag, threw on a hat, and didn't make it it a mile.  So not digging the running in the rain thing.  Some people swear by it.  I hated the fact that my feet were wet within 2.1 seconds because it's like a river on my street when it sprinkles.

I'm suppose to run 3 miles tonight, and really hoping it stops before I get home from work.  They're talking about it turning into snow later tonight, which is fine.  I think I wouldn't mind that as much.  If it doesn't stop raining, I'll just have to push my runs for the week back a day.  I guess that means I'm doing 30 Day Shred tonight.  I hate you Jillian Michaels.

Cross your fingers for me that the clouds go away, and this awful stuff they call precipitation stops! 

I am so glad I don't live in the Northwest.  I'd be miserable year round.

Oh, new additon to the Christmas List of 2011!

Maybe not this specific one, but I do want one that's programmable, so I can leave it when we go to work in the morning.  I also need one with the little handles that hold the lid on.  We have some sneaky cats, and I wouldn't put it past them to knock the lid off and stick their little paws in the food that's cooking.

I'm already dreaming of the soups, stews and other deeeelish creations I will make in it.
