  • 1) Do you own a pair of rainy boots? If no, are you looking to buying one? No. I'd love to buy a pair but haven't really looked into it. I'm betting what I'll end up wanting will cost a lot of money.

    2) Do you have a raincoat? Yes.

    3) If you have an umbrella, is it foldable or a golf type of umbrella? What color is it? No umbrellas. They're more of a pain than a help for me.

    4) Do you prefer a long but light rain, or a heavy but short rain? I don't have a specific preference unless I've got plans that the rain interferes with, or if we need the water :)

    5) What's the first word that comes to your mind when you read the word "rain"? Today: Soup. Because I made some yesterday in anticipation of bad weather.

  • 1. Nope

    2. Not really, I use my spring snowboarding coat since it's waterproof. I should invest in a raincoat because I've gotten drenched while walking two blocks from BART into my office. 

    3. It's foldable, leopard print. I want a bigger one though, although this one is nice since it's small and can fit into my bookbag. 

    4. Is it possible to like somewhere in the middle of long & light and heavy & short?

    5. No watering my lawn or plants today.

  • 1) Do you own a pair of rainy boots? If no, are you looking to buying one?  Yep, we've had an insane amount of rain over the last year; that combined with commuting on public transit and I finally bought myself a pair of rain boots.  They're $20 cheapies from Target that do the job.  I just don't get the appeal of Hunters and am way too cheap to get them.

    Target.com actually had a huge selection of $20ish rain boots.  I just had to find ones that would fit my ginormous calves :)

    2) Do you have a raincoat? Yep, have this fantastic one from Eddie Bauer in red.  My family bought it for me as a birthday gift because my sister had one in black and I loved it.  With the Thinsulate-style lining in it's surprisingly warm--I wore this coat more than my down one through our awful winter last year!

    3) If you have an umbrella, is it foldable or a golf type of umbrella? What color is it?  I have a whole variety of sizes of umbrellas, but my favorite is a portable Totes one that's medium-sized and just a basic black.  Golf umbrellas are great in theory, but they suck for walking down a crowded sidewalk.

    4) Do you prefer a long but light rain, or a heavy but short rain?  Heavy and short.  I hate rain so the shorter the better.

    5) What's the first word that comes to your mind when you read the word "rain"?  Ugh!

    I'd rather be rock climbing or playing volleyball

  • 1) Do you own a pair of rainy boots? If no, are you looking to buying one? I bought some last winter to walk to CalTrain when it rained. They are red.

    2) Do you have a raincoat? Not really, I have a waterproof jacket. I'd love to get a trench coat.

    3) If you have an umbrella, is it foldable or a golf type of umbrella? What color is it? We have 3, one to leave in the car and two I keep in the closet. They're all foldable.

    4) Do you prefer a long but light rain, or a heavy but short rain? I like rain most when I don't have to be outside but if I am I don't mind it if it's just sprinkling. It can be refreshing.

    5) What's the first word that comes to your mind when you read the word "rain"? I always think of both "I Can't Stand the Rain" by Ann Peebles and remade by Missy Elliott and "it's like rain on your wedding day" in Alanis Morrisette's "Ironic".

  • 1) Do you own a pair of rainy boots? If no, are you looking to buying one?I do. I have a pair of J-Crew rain boots which are dark blue with green pears on them.2) Do you have a raincoat? Yup. I am from Washington State -- it is nearly illegal to not have one.3) If you have an umbrella, is it foldable or a golf type of umbrella? What color is it?I don't know the difference. I have a bunch of umbrellas. My favorite was one Starbucks used to sell that said Into Every Life a Little Coffee Must Fall.  4) Do you prefer a long but light rain, or a heavy but short rain? Heavy. Heavy and short or Heavy and LONG doesn't matter. Especially if I can stay inside :-)
    5) What's the first word that comes to your mind when you read the word "rain"?Cozy

  • 1) I own no rain boots.  In fact, I own almost no closed toe shoes.  Last year I tried to buy some dansko mules for the rain but couldn't find any that fit.

    2) I don't have a raincoat but do have a couple panchos around here

    3) I have a few umbrellas. All large foldable ones.  My favorite is a Monet

    4) I like them all.  Long light is best for the plants though.

    5) I see green when I read "rain"

  • 1) Do you own a pair of rainy boots? If no, are you looking to buying one? No, I'm excited that I finally just bought my first pair of fall boots! They should arrive later this week. :) Rain boots would really come in handy around here though.

    2) Do you have a raincoat? No

    3) If you have an umbrella, is it foldable or a golf type of umbrella? What color is it? It's a foldable umbrella, but it's broken. It was green and white checkered. I'll be using the other one we have now, which is black.

    4) Do you prefer a long but light rain, or a heavy but short rain? Heavy but short. It can seriously rain here for days and that gets old after a while.

    5) What's the first word that comes to your mind when you read the word "rain"? My city. :)

  • 1) Do you own a pair of rainy boots? If no, are you looking to buying one? I go back and forth on whether I should buy rain boots or not. I don't want to look like I am five but they would be nice when I am commuting on super rainy days.

    2) Do you have a raincoat? No

    3) If you have an umbrella, is it foldable or a golf type of umbrella? What color is it? I have a compact foldable one for commuting and a nice sort of golf type that belonged to my dad.

    5) What's the first word that comes to your mind when you read the word "rain"? Wet

    2) Do you have a raincoat?  Nope, in fact, i need a new "in general" coat this year as well.

    3) If you have an umbrella, is it foldable or a golf type of umbrella? What color is it?  I do have an umbrella!  It is black and white in a small geometric pattern.  It's a golf umbrella, not foldable.

    4) Do you prefer a long but light rain, or a heavy but short rain?  Heavy, but short.  Also I would love it with some thunder and lightening, too!

It's blue with some pretty design on it.4) Do you prefer a long but light rain, or a heavy but short rain? I don't care either way.
