Two of the greatest joys of my life:
1. Playing sports in the rain
2. Changing into dry comfy clothes afterwards.
What more can you ask for? Maybe a cup of hot apple cidar or hot chocolate. But those are just extras. They just are so wonderful and they go together, hand in hand. It is awesome! Andrew and Chris Ahn taught Michelle and I how to frolf today. I was pretty awful. But the fun part was being outside in the pouring rain playing a sport!! Oh how I miss playing games outside with friends. Then we went puddle jumping and to our RUF flag football game, but it was cancelled. So we decided to play anyhow. It was pouring. It was AMAZING! I would have rather been playing soccer, but football is cool too. I'm just not as good at it. Anyhow, this post is really just to declare how much I love sports and being outside and how even greater it is when it is pouring down rain. Woohoo! I'm soaked. Seriously, it is raining so hard outside. It is perfect muddy sport playing weather. Go outside now and find something to throw or kick around. It will improve your mood! :D
I deliberately waited until it began to pour and then ventured out in the rain. Although, unfortunately, it wasn't much of a down pour. The raindrops were small ones--not the fat ones that immediately soak you right through.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I managed to get rather wet. Which, as you said, is quite refreshing. It washes away all that dirt and replaces it with new energy...
and getting dry is "delicious."
At school in Pa, when it got that wet we'd get trays from the cafeteria and go mud-sliding down the hill behind our dorm on them. It was great! It was disgusting!(the peeling off the muddy clothes aferwards part.And the fact that there was no on-campus laundramat)It was always bound to be followed by a lecture from the headmaster on why we shouldn't use trays from the cafeteria...
ReplyDeleteWe were going to go mud slidding, but the guys had to go to work at 5 and we finised our football game at 4:45. But that sounds awesome!! heh. What fun. I love rain.
