Walking in wellies.

Today was the first day that the weather was worthy of wearing wellies. (I love alliterations. They're so cheesy and fun.) It's nice to know that my rain-boots are going to be put to good use here since they took up precious space in my suitcase. Yesterday it was raining so I waited all day to walk Nelson until it was barely sprinkling anymore. Today I decided that I just wanted to get it over with and that I would walk him before I took a shower. Good. Choice. Thank you Grammi for my lovely raincoat that kept the top of me dry and thank you Tara for my lovely rain-boots that kept me dry from my toes to about mid-shins. The rest of me, my jeans basically, got soaked. It's a good thing it wasn't cold or I would've been miserable. After about 35 minutes of walking when I could tell that the rain had actually soaked through to my underwear (TMI? Sorry, that's what you get for reading my blog!), I decided it was time to head home. I do love wearing rain-boots though. Splashing in puddles without getting your feet wet is just really great. I like walking through the puddles instead of avoiding them. Now if I could just find some waterproof pants... I'd be good to go. Maybe I'll have to take an umbrella next time. Now I'm all showered and dry and cozy and I'm about to go make myself some tea.

I've had a very exciting morning. I booked weekend trips to both Paris and Brussels. In fact, all of my weekends are starting to fill up with plans, which is really nice. Tomorrow I'm going in to London to meet up with Victoria. I think we're going to do a little sightseeing and maybe some shopping. The looking kind of shopping though, not the buying kind. I think. We'll see. I'm just excited to have a reason to go somewhere and someone to hang out with!!

It's 3am at home... hope you're all sleeping soundly and that I don't wake anyone up too early with one of my eager phone calls. Dear Paige: I am going to try my best to wait until 7:15 at the earliest to call you. I know you'll read this after I've already called but I wanted you to know that I had good intentions : )

Lots of love!
