rain, rain (don't) go away

rainy day relaxing

rain on the window pane

there's just something about a rainy day that beckons you to join it in its dreary simplicity.  curl up, it says.  veg out.  do nothing.  put your pjs back on, brew a cup of your favorite tea and enjoy a good movie.  i've never minded rainy days.  i actually need one once in a while.  i'm a home-body and rainy days encourage you to stay inside, get cozy and replenish.  and honestly, who doesn't need that once in a while?!

tea cup

my recipe for the perfect rainy day...

-1 pair of sweatpants

-1 sweatshirt

-2 fuzzy socks

-1 cup of tea (refill as needed)

-1 to 6 movies of your choice (depending on how much replenishing is required.  my personal go-tos are father of the bride (the steve martin one), baby boom or any oldie but goodie on turner classic movies)

-1 person to cuddle with (and yes, pets do count!)

-optional: 1 fire in the fireplace, if weather appropriate

oh rain, don't go away quite yet...
