On a Rainy Day

via

Is anyone else tired of the dreary, rainy weather?  Rain every once in a while is great, but since weather plays a significant role in determining both my motivation level and mood for any given day, I'd love some sunshine.  Rainy days call for little pick-me-ups.  Here are some of my favorite ways to brighten up a rainy day:

1. Do your nails

2. Put pretty flowers where you can see them

3. Go shoe shopping

4. Pick up some Starbucks

5. Wear rain boots and jump in puddles

6. Write a letter to a friend

7. Watch your favorite Friends episode

8. Bake cookies

9. Curl up on the couch with a good book

10. Make some soup for dinner


What do you like to do on a rainy day?

    Jumping in the puddles is now what I do, simply by default with having children. Sans children, definitely curling up on the couch with a good book.

    I hate driving in the rain, but I like the sound the rain makes on the rooftoop and the sound it makes when you drive through a big puddle; and I like watching my most favorite movie: You've Got Mail. I also like all your suggestions too. And, I like them all equally; they are all my favorite. Unfortunately, I'm spending my rainy day stuck inside the office :( But maybe I'll go buy shoes when I'm done!

    Tea, book, snuggle. We have 90 degree weather right now and I'm afraid I'm tired of it. Want what you don't have I guess. Ha.

    These are great ideas. I really hate rainy days, my mood just plummets when the sun isn't shining. Maybe next time I'll try some of these to cheer me up!

    It's so dreary here today! I managed a (very wet) run, then have been relaxing. And right now, I'm watching Friends (-:

    Anything that does not require me to leave the house. My favorite...cuddling up on the couch and watching some tv, with a hot drink in my favorite mug.

    Love this list! Curl up on the couch with my computer and Internet shop. That is, puts lots of things in my "bag" and then not buy them. :)
