I’m at Panera Bread hoping for some quiet time. Which isnt really… quiet. But its empty for a rainy day (is it just me or is Panera always packed on rainy days?) and the classical music playing and the faint sound of blenders is… relaxing.
I forgot how much I love the camera on my pink Aspire One laptop! I’ve had this hid away for over a year now because the battery died out and Fry’s told me it would cost over $100 to get a backup. I only realized after Martin left for Basic that I could get a backup battery on Amazon for $68! Damn you Fry’s!
Speaking of, 3 military people walked in today. Two were USAF, I couldnt help but whimper because I want my own set of ABU’s. And one day, I will :).
It was storming this morning. Well into the early afternoon. But it literally sounded like sheets of rain just flying to my window. It was insane and it kept me up all night. Goodness. Martin called randomly asking if I was okay and if the rain was keeping me up… how does he know these things?! lol. Have I mentioned how much more aware of my discomforts he’s been since we got married? Every small thing he jumps up wondering if I’m okay and what he can do to make me feel better. He’s amazing.
Like right now, he’s sitting next to me playing his DSi quietly and letting me get some work done on my laptop. Not even complaining that we’ve been here for nearly two hours. How did I get so lucky :).
Oh also, we saw lightning while we were on the freeway! I was so excited! I love lightning. I got to see it twice on the way here :)!

I love it when it rains. It’s so soothing. It has the opposite effect on me as it does you! I easily fall asleep to the sound of rain.
Lighting is awesome, too! But for some reason it doesn’t thunder or lightning here much. :/ I remember running around in the rain as a kid, hoping for “magic” lightning to strike down. It was always so exciting!
Your husband sounds like a winner. So lucky! xD
If its in the morning, I’ll usually fall back to sleep. But when it storms super loud I have trouble sleeping. I know my window isnt going to break though or anything but what if it does!! lol.
I finally got my lightning storm last night! I’ve been waiting a year and a half for this! My husband told me he saw lightning so I sat in front of the window for about 45 minutes watching lol! And yes, he’s great. When he isnt sucked in by a new video game lol.
I love the rain, because it’s great for sleeping in during. But at the same time, I hate rainy mornings, because they make it so difficult for me to wake up. :( When I open my eyes and it’s dark and dreary, all I want to do is cuddle up next to my husband and go back to sleep!
Panera is quite awesome, though it does seem to get rather busy during the rain! I tend to go between 9-11am, 2-4pm and 7-9pm… dead times, whee! :)
Sleeping in during the rain is amazing! I love cuddling under my sheets and falling asleep to the sound of rain (not storm, rain lol). But you’re right it makes it super difficult to wake up when you actually have to (like today, I stayed in bed til noon, oof)!
