Do you hate it when you get rained in and your plans get cancelled on your day off? Sometimes it sure can be inconvenient, like when you are at a baseball game or you’ve paid big bucks for an outdoor event. Last night’s NY Yankees’ game was delayed 5 1/2 hours! (Insert your Yankees’ fans deserve it joke here.) Rain also delayed the first round of the US Open on Thursday. Too bad!
On the up side, it has finally rained in Seattle. Huh? Yes, it’s true, after a dry streak of 29 days, Seattle finally had rain last night!
I’m not going to break any records today. I know the best way to enjoy a rainy day…a good book!
I’m reading the new book by Shannon Hale. I just loved her novel “Austenland.” I’m about 80 pages into “The Actor and the Housewife” and so far it is smart, funny and just downright adorable. 
So, rain, don’t go away just yet. I’m reading.
