Yesterday I got caught in
the rainstorm while running errands (around 2 pm). It came on very suddenly... when I left my car in the parking lot it was sunny out, but when I was ready to leave the Butcherie shortly thereafter it was
pouring. Torrential rain. I put a plastic grocery bag over my head for lack of other protection but the rest of me got throughly drenched walking the block-and-a-half to the car. The rain was so intense you almost couldn't see across the street, and the water in the middle of the street when I crossed (not just where it dips down to the sidewalk) was almost ankle-deep. Unreal... I've never seen rain like that. I wound up giving a ride home to a stranger who was leaving the store at the same time, just because I couldn't see anyone walking home in that. Then I finished my errands (of course, it cleared a few minutes later), but when I got home an hour and a half later my clothes were still soggy. Ugh!
Today we were invited out for lunch to a birthday party. So naturally I made a dessert. (New recipe - a fudge-nut pie.) Came out well... nice and intense... but by the time we got to it everyone was pretty full so most people just took a few bites. Oh well. Good recipe though, I might make it again.
Tonight we went to see
Cars and really enjoyed it. I thought I would, because I like Pixar movies and I like cars, but it was even better than I expected. Nice message, gorgeous scenery, a lot of cute touches. But when we left the theatre I really wanted to go for a drive... :-)
