Mon Parapluie

This is actually one of the pictures up in my apartment. Keep reading to understand.

So as has been the case for the last month or so, it was raining pretty hard when I woke up. Now, I don't mind the rain. I actually like it a lot! Especially since over the weekend I was even treated to some thunder and lightening! Rainy weather makes me want to go eat at La Madeleine back home. or Great Harvest here. Anyway, so as I was walking out of my apartment to make the 15 minute trek up to work I opened my umbrella and...it wouldn't open. I tried again, it wouldn't open again. I examined it and well what do you know?! It was bent. I have absolutely no idea how it happened but my umbrella (mon paraluie!) is broken! So I threw it away in the nearest dumpster and now I have to go buy a new one. Good thing I had on my new rain coat! Not quite the same as an umbrella though. However, I'm going to have to wait until after my next paycheck (on the 10th!) to buy a new one since I have next to no money. Paying for things when you're poor really sucks! :)

To go along with this post our apartment has a theme! Like, the decorations in the living room/kitchen area. Can you guess what it is?? Parapluies! It just kinda happened that way but it's all coming together very nicely and I am very excited for when it's all put up. Maybe I'll post pictures? Is that too much info for potential creepers? By the way, all the decorating creativity is coming from Kaili and her mom and sister. I have zero decorating creativity.

Also, SOAR starts on Thursday! Let the boredom, lecturing, crying, happiness, nervousness, difficult parents, apathy and overachieving begin! haha

Happy Rainy Day!!! :)
