It's a Torential Downpour ... and Maybe a Shower

On Thursday night, I'm sitting in the exact seat I am now, at home checking on the forecast for Springfield for Saturday - the day of Heather M's shower so I can plan what I'm going to wear. Isolated T-storms, minimal risk for heavy rain.

Sooooo, I get ready at mom's house that morning since I have to get a haircut and make several other stops before heading to the shower in Petersburg. I haave two options with me, and decide on a brown favorite tee and a striped skirt, but it's primarily white.

The haircut went well, next on the agenda was Sam's to pick up the croissants and rolls for the shower. As I pull into the parking lot, it begins to sprinkle a bit - I'm parked NEXT TO HANDICAPPED. I realize that my umbrella is M.I.A. In the 10 minutes it takes me to go in, pick up my rolls and check out .... it's pouring & I can't even see my car from the doors. But I, of course, am running late and make a run for it. I get COMPLETELY drenched, and infd out it hasn't rained a bit at the shower.

On the way there, one of the viaducts is flooded but the Pathfinder cruised through. When I finally get to the shower, I'm still completely soaked but fortunately I brought two options to wear on Saturday :).

The shower was very nice, got to catch up with some people. A pregnant Jenn is back from the Middle East until August, when she and Brian and TBA head to another place to teach.

By the way ... Milstead loved her honeymoon survival kit we gave her, especially the "Drink, Drink, Party, Party" can coozies from The Longbranch in Athens.
