it's raining, it's pouring...

We're having lovely downpours here today, and honestly I don't mind it.  It's dark, the sound of the rain is soothing, and I can't wait to go home and snug.

So, you're faced with a rainy day with absolutely nothing to do, no obligations, nada -- how would you ideally spend the time?

Re: it's raining, it's pouring...

  • On a day like today, with no obligations, I would change into my comfiest pj pants and my coziest hoodie, snug in my papasan with my softest blanket, sip on some coffee or tea depending on the time of day, and curl up while I read my current book.  I would have the window open to that I could hear the rain outside, and the only light would be the reading light above my chair.  Ahhh.....

  • Curl up with a book, maybe sporadically nap.

  • I love this kind of weather in a lot of ways too, it is so relaxing.  I would love to cuddle up on the couch and read, while sipping a pumpkin spice latte that was delivered to me(someone really needs to start a business like that!).  Then maybe catch up on shows on the DVR and then take a nap.  Ohh I wish!!
  • This sounds weird but I love to get stuff done around the house on rainy days. Laundry, dishes, dusting, etc...I hate doing that crap on nice days when I would rather be outside enjoying the weather.

    If I had absolutely none of those things to do I'm all for curling up on the couch and watching movies and eating mac and cheese under a cozy blanket.

  • On the couch with a blanket and the dogs watching TV/movies. Most likely there would be a nap at some point. Every once in awhile I have the urge to do some cleaning but the couch usually wins

  • I would be in cozy pjs, in bed, all bundled up, preferably with husband and dog.  I would nap and read.  And bake and drink hot chocolate.

  • oh, how badly I want a day like this....

    Definitely ditto the comfy pjs.  If it's just me at home, I'm more likely to read a book.  If H is home too, then we're downstairs doing a movie marathon.  There's usually a pot of soup or chili on the stove and a batch of cookies or quickbread in the oven.

  • It's raining here today also and T and I just got back from her swim lessons so she is pretty tired. I plan on taking a hot shower and curling up in bed with my baby and relaxing.

    I do have to throw some laundry in there at some point though. 

    Prior to baby I would take days like today to throw some good food in the crock pot, light some candles and lay on the couch and relax, read and nap whenever I wanted.

  • I think I'm one of the few people who does not find rain relaxing. It stresses me out. I typically try to counteract it by turning on all the lights and blasting music.

  • If it were during the day, I'd be cleaning the house. It feels really refreshing to me when it rains, so I'd want it to feel refreshingly clean inside too. If it were turning dark, I would sit in bed facing the huge windows that almost overlook the ocean and watch the rain/lightning. Either way, the windows would be open (at least a little, unless it was blowing right into the house) and there would be ice cream or chips or both around for snacking. Cuddling with the kitties is a must.

    Yes!!! I would be a frequent customer too if such a thing existed. 

    I would work out for an hour uninterrupted, shower and read while munching on pretzels until I put the book aside for a long glorious nap.

  • I veg out. I like to be in my comfy pj's all snugged up on the couch. Usually I just watch TV or I'll crochet. On cooler rainy days, hot chocolate is my go-to drink.
