Dear New Mexico: what the hell is up with all this rain? I don't know if you got the memo, but it is NOT JULY YET. Thunderstorms belong in mid-July, not June! And this is just getting ridiculous.
Five minutes after my mom and I left the house yesterday to walk over to Michael's and go shopping, it started POURING - and of course neither of us had jackets or umbrellas. We got pretty thoroughly soaked before we ducked into Panda Express to wait it out, since rain never lasts that long out here. After we made it to Michael's (new hemp cord for stringing my necklace and some neat charms for making hairsticks next week) we stopped by Barnes and Noble to check out the new books - two seconds after we left, it started raining again. Not as hard as before, but we were still pretty well damp by the time we got home. And now it's been raining on and off all day today, with occasional Big Dramatic Thunder. Earlier in the afternoon it was storming hard enough that it kept knocking out the lights/cable, but thankfully that seems to be over.
Man, this is not on, New Mexico. You need to shape up!
