it was a dark and stormy night....

and the rain came down in torents. and the old ship captain said, "sit down boys, and i'll tell you a story"...

sorry. childhood flashback.

there was this song on sesame street growing up that goes like this:
it's a rainy day, it's a rainy day.
it's raining outside so i can't go out and play,
why do we need the rain, anyway?
(extra points if you actually KNOW that song...)
it goes on to tell all of the benefits of rain. i wish i could remember that part of the song today. i really do enjoy the rain...when i'm home in my pajamas watching a stellar old school movie that is now back in my life. but when i'm at work, and the whole office feels darker because of the lack of sun and the all encompassing wettness outside...i don't love the rain. it feels like it's 8:00 at night. it probably doesn't help that i worked through lunch today (which means i do get to leave in 30 minutes- major plus) and that i'm also anxiously awaiting a package in the mail from brooklyn, new york. if it is not in my mailbox when i get home, i will be very disappointed.
the partners and managers are going on a retreat this weekend in st. george. do you know what that means? the office will be dead. no one will be here....specifically the people i work for. so i have things i could be doing today, but i figure i better save some stuff for while they are gone or else i'll be tempted to skip out early with nothing to do.

It's a rainy day;
It's a rainy day.
It's raining outside,
And I can't go out and play.
Why do we need the rain anyway?

Rain falls everywhere,
Fills the rivers and streams,
Flows into the reservoirs
Purified and clean.
Water to do the wash,
Water to drink,
Water is flowing
Through the pipes into our sink.

It's a rainy day;
It's a rainy day.
It's raining outside,
And I can't go out and play.
I guess I'll stay at home today.

Every living thing needs water;
Every living thing needs the rain.
Every living thing needs water;
I guess I really can't complain.

It's a rainy day;
It's a rainy day.
It's raining outside,
And I can't go out and play.
Why do we need the rain anyway?

Water to do the dishes,
Water to brush your teeth,
Water to take a shower,
Water to wash the street.

Water for the forest,
Millions of thirsty roots;
Water for the garden,
Flowers, vegetables, and fruits.

It's a rainy day;
It's a rainy day.
It's raining outside,
And I can't go out and play.
Don't you know I love the rain anyway?!

I even found a YOUTUBE video with it..
