Gee, thanks.

So, I haven’t mentioned any news about my office because basically, there isn’t any. I haven’t had a chance to do ANYTHING because I have a millionandonethingstodo!! I am blessed enough to work at a fabulous community college, and have Fridays off all of June and July, but every single Friday has been busy with birthday parties, planning for my sister-in-law’s shower, and other nonsense going on. So. Freakin’. Busy.

Today I decide to leave about an hour early to come home with enough time to start spray painting a few items for my office. I am PSYCHED! Pumped! YAY! Everyday here in South Texas it has been 110 degrees and super windy- not good spray painting weather at all. Not even close.

Today was in the 80’s and NO wind. I was delighted. Perfect afternoon to spray paint.

Until I left to drive home and it started POURING rain. Not sprinkling, but POURING!

This reminded me of a day in recent history where rain decided to rain on my parade.

My wedding day. Here are a few pictures that capture my utter disappointment as it pours down an hour before my ceremony and does NOT stop until after the ceremony is over. My poor guests were DRENCHED.

What’s going on here? Well, I was walking to the church area, and it starts raining cats and dogs. None of the little shops in La Villita (in San Antonio- downtown) would let me in! BOO! This man was kind enough to give me, Leslie, her mom, and my mom shelter in his quaint little shop. I thought he was being nice, which he was, but his emergency exit happened to lead right to the church door so I didn’t have to walk up/down stairs or anything. It was like a whole 10-feet away. He saved the day, and he gave me free wine to chill me out. Love him and his great hospitality. He is from France, and in this picture he’s telling me how it’s good luck for it to rain on your wedding day. I later grew tired of this story because I heard it 50bajilliontimes that day. Seriously people, nothing you say could cheer me up- it’s raining on my wedding day. My pretty princess day!!

But Mother Nature wins again. Fine.

So, I am off to put on my jammies, wash dishes, and finish Etsy orders. I hope tomorrow morning is good spray painting weather because I really want to finish my office. Etsy Thursday coming up later today!
