Color Me {Pineapple}
It's been a rainy couple of week's here. The rain is normal for Florida in the summer, but recently it seems excessive. The sun shines for a mere couple of hours during the work day, and that appears to be it as of late. So, with a lack of sunshine and happiness outside, I decided to bring a bit of it to the blog today. Pineapples always bring me to a cheery place where I imagine palms hanging above my head, the sand beneath my feet, a large body of water in front of me and the sun shining bright above. The temperatures are warm without being too hot and there is always a tropical drink not to far away. I wish I could be there right now, but instead I will paint the picture in my head and imagine throwing a rainy day bash that's just the same. Serve up pina coladas, teriyaki pineapple chicken skewers, and decorate with a few fake palms while greeting guests with Hawaiian leis. Sounds like the perfect way to get over the rainy day (or month!) blues if you ask me. It's also a great way to imagine I'm sitting on a beach and not behind my desk today....
Have a sunny Monday!

Rainy Day Blues...
Happy Labor Day! I realize that Labor Day is the last hoo-rah of the summer and you should really be spending your day outdoors with friends and family. But, if your weather forecast is anything like mine, you will be spending the day inside shielding yourself from the rain. So, in honor of the rainy holiday and ruined outdoor plans, I'm going to plan for you the perfect rainy day. May I suggest the following...
First, I would get a little nostalgic and build an indoor tent. Do you remember doing this when you were little, especially when it rained? I had the greatest forts built out of sofa cushions, blankets and pillows. I loved it. I always felt so cozy and safe from the storm.
After a hefty snacking sesh, the next item on the perfect rainy day list is to catch up on some reading. Grab that September issue you have yet to flip through or maybe that book you bought a couple months ago and have yet to read (the new Chelsea Handler book has been on nightstand for weeks now!). Better yet, take a nap. You know you really want to. Plus, there is nothing better to do after chowing down than take a nap. Honestly, it's the best!
After that rainy day nap, may I suggest you finish off the day with a movie marathon. R is spending the day at the office catching up on some studying, and I plan on watching all of my favorite old movies he refuses to watch with me (movies like Breakfast at Tiffany's) until he gets home. I may even go crazy over the top and watch them from bed.
Happy Labor Day! What do y'all have planned? Well, whatever it is, I hope it's fun and you stay safe! xo
