Rainy Day... 6-12-09

I saw the most beautiful thing at work yesterday. It was storming outside, thunder and lightning; torrents of rain pouring out of the sky. I walked down the hallway, stopping to look out at the wall of windows in the main lobby of the building.

Outside I saw a girl standing under the covered area of the building. She had some books in her arms that she had placed on the ground so she could hold her bag better.

Out of nowhere, her boyfriend ran up out of the rain from the parking lot with a small umbrella that was possibly a child's and opened it. He reached down and grabbed her books and walked the girl out to her car, walking himself in the rain to keep her dry and covered by the tiny umbrella.

He walked his girlfriend to her car, then hurried to his own, already soaked from the downpour.

I smiled, my eyes filled with tears at seeing such a kind gesture. I was reminded of love in it's purest form, chilvarous and noble. My heart just jumped with excitement at seeing this small gesture mean so much.

I want someone to hold an umbrella for me...

Just found this picture that pretty well explains what I was talking about when I made this post yesterday!

i LOVE walking in the rain, so will pass on the holding of an umbrella.

i'd rather him show his love by shovelling after a snowfall!

Personally I enjoy walking in the rain myself...but it was just the gesture that made is so sweet!

And then she went out with some other guy she knows. Who was late and didn't call and tell her. And was a few dollars short on paying the tab. And after some bad sex he didn't stay and cuddle, so she calls her girlfriend to complain about it. And Mr. Umbrella went home alone and came on Mingle to ask why do nice guys finish last.

...then hooked up with the "why do women always?" people and lived miserably ever after?

While rocking in fetal position, hugging his little child size umbrella to his chest, and crying.

Oh you guys are so harsh! lol I thought it was sweet!

ACTUALLY...it would have been so much more fun if they'd splashed in the puddles and just enjoyed the rain! THAT would have been a vision!

I do agree with that a hundred percent! That soooo would have been me! lol Just dancing and playing in the rain and puddles!

Nightmare Afternoon... 6-13-09

Yesterday was a real pain! I thought I was never going to get home! Grrr. I found out that my next two weeks are going to be really slammed at work which means coming in earlier and leaving later than usual.



Why does this always seem to happen when you aren't expecting it or hoping for it? Oh well. At least I can say I still love my job!

The ride home wasn't fun though. After working over yesterday I got caught in a traffic jam and on top of that, I had to drop by the store where I did the quick scan yourself checkout line only to have the machine get locked up! Wow! So glad today arrived!

We really are decent people just a little jaded, with a wicked twist to our sense of humor.

Yeah, that's why you all are so cool! lol
