IT'S RAINING!!!!

We desert dwellers haven't had measurable rain in FIVE MONTHS ... I'm actually weepy over this! I could hardly stay in my chair at work, despite it being FRIDAY and PAYROLL and MONTH END and A/P CHECK RUN DAY ... gray-violet skies, downpours, the clouds constantly changing. Man. I got home too late to shoot any pictures of puddles (PUDDLES!) but I did go outside and do an impromptu dance, kind of a "when you're a Jet, you're a Jet all the way" West Side Story number. Now I have the shivers but they're happy shivers. Zoe climbed into my lap and immediately back out (wet skirt), shaking her paws in disdain. HA! The forecast suggests rain all weekend (we tend to be skeptical about promises of rain in these parts), but if it turns out to be true, well then! Toni is staying in her studio and working on the Miss V canvas, then curling up with my new book, called "Poemcrazy, Freeing Your Life With Words", by Susan Goldsmith Wooldridge.

Want to know a secret? (shhhhhhhhh) I LOVE that song from the original Mary Poppins soundtrack, the one Dick Van Dyke's chimneysweep sings: "I love to laugh, ha ha ha HA!" I gotta get that soundtrack, ya know?
