Days like this I’m ready to move back to Kansas City. Not because of my friends or the more affordable lifestyle, but because I need the sun. I cannot take anymore rain. It’s the sole reason that I would never move back to Portland. I LOVE Portland. Especially it’s proximity to the beach and the mountains. Where was I? (See, the rain is even starting to affect my brain.) Oh yeah, RAIN.
You see, it doesn’t rain this much in Kansas City. Ever. And it’ never this fucking cold in JUNE, either.I
I need summer and I need it now.
Today was supposed to be the end of the year picnic/pool party for the kids’ preschool. Thanks to today’s steady downpour it’s being postponed until next week. When Hot Guy will be out of town. Which begs the question. . . .
Am I really going to appear in public, in front of all the lovely skinny mommies, in a bathing suit?
See, if we still lived in Kansas City I would not being having this problem. The party would have been today and Hot Guy could have done bathing suit duty. And, it would be SUMMER.
Or, if we lived in Portland, no one would have planned an outdoor pool party for June. Problem solved.
This weather is so bad that not only am I in a bad mood about it, I’m POSTING about it. I’ve been reduced to posting about the weather. What will I post about next – poopy diapers?
On an unrelated note: Watching the Real Housewives of NJ is really disturbing me. Some of them live in a nearby town – a town where I know people. And they keep eating at restaurants in my hometown. Part of me is appalled that their behavior will forever be associated with my home and another part of me keeps thinking, “See? THIS is why you don’t have more friends here.”

Haven’t seen any of the Real Housewives shows. That would definitely freak me out – seeing them eating in places I frequent, etc.
I agree with you about rain. It may rain in KC these days, though – weather’s just plain weird all over.

You should move back to Portland then. Yes, granted, these past couple days have been rainy. But the month and a half before that? 70-85 degree and sunny.
Everyone should move to Portland. *nods* Well, all the cool people anyways.

I think NJ is reverting back to it’s rainforest past. If it doesn’t stop raining soon, I may begin dancing naked in my back yard in some sort of pagan sun dance.
As for the Real Housewives of NJ? I’m appalled that they are the chosen representatives from my state. I don’t fucking think so.

I have avoided Real Housewives for that reason. Ignorance is bliss! I hear you on the rain. If I watch any more Disney or Noggin I think my brain is going to rot.

I have seasonal affective disorder… so I think Portland would equal a lot of crying and carb munching for me.
