Spring
Mood:  energetic
Topic: One Ramblin' Ranter!
It is spring in Portland and I have been spending a lot of time after work taking walks. I have also spent part of that time plotting my days off. I imagine myself enjoying the warm sunshine as I head downtown and explore the Chinese Garden or take the Walking Art Tour. I see myself getting on a bus near my house and heading downtown and living it up. It's a nice dream.

Unfortunately it is only a dream. It is true that every day I get off work it has been sunny and beautiful but every single day I am off from work it has been overccast and slightly chilly. Let's put this in perspective my days off last week were Wednesday and Saturday. Monday and Tuesday were perfectly blue skies and the best temperature ever. Wednesday was grey and I needed a light jacket. The next morning I woke up and it was clear and sunny all day and Friday it was as well. In fact Friday was a little too warm! So I wake up Saturday and put on shorts and a light cotton shirt.... and it is grey outside and slightly chilly. I decide that I will not let that deter me so I start walking in the general direction of the grocery store. As soon as I get about a 1/4 mile from my house it starts raining! I am not talking the light rain that Portland is famous for I am talking 'drench your clothes when you are a 1'4 of a mile from home' rain. So I was dripping by the time I got home. All my ideas and desires flew out the window and I tucked back into the computer and produced all of the stellar designs for the Stewey Store, the Rent My Dad Store, and the new designs for the original Crazedlunatikdesigns.com Store.

I guess I can say good came out of a spoiled day but come on just one beautiful sunny day that is completely off from work! PLEASE???
