Rain, Rain, Go Away

 

My friend Paula and I did one of our usual Chico runs for lunch and shopping. And it was pouring buckets. I have mentioned before how much I hate shopping in the rain. I also hate driving in the rain. I tend to get very grumpy in the rain. However…

 

Even though I went into this trip with a terrible attitude, it ended up just fine. I love our shopping trips. We always have a nice lunch (The Habit, this time) and I do enjoy actually being in the stores.

 

First stop after lunch was Costco. Got some yummy food stuffs and some adult beverages.

Next stop was Bev Mo. Always a fun place to shop. Got some more adult beverages and continued on.

Last stop was Winco. More food stuffs and another adult beverage.

 

Then it was homeward bound. Still pouring like crazy through the whole thing. Absolutely miserable to go from car to store and back again. BUT…

 

We got GOOD PARKING at all 4 stops!! Yes, we had to slosh through the rainy parking lot, but didn’t have to walk all that far.

 

Got home safe and sound (thank you, Lord) and we were done!

 

One of the first things I did after unloading the car was fix me a nice hot tea toddy with some adult beverage in it and watched TV before getting dinner going.

 

BTW, the adult beverages I got will last a LONG time…really. I promise.

 

Random Thought:

Ice cream alone won’t fill the emptiness of my soul…I need cake, too.
