It's raining, it's pouring

It's a good thing Brent and I love our place so much as today is one of those days where ya don't wanna venture out. It's pouring outside - cats and dogs and elephants and giraffes, etc. Thankfully I have the day off.

Some of the things on my rainy day to-do list include:

- Planning for upcoming Europe trip - only 10 days left!
- Knitting - I've been slacking. I started one scarf a few weeks ago.
- Watching Big Fish - how apropos as there is enough water outside for big fish to happily swim through. I saw this movie in the theater and loved it, so I rented it from Netflix. Last night we watched Van Helsing. There's something to be said for liking the movie just because you like the actors (Hugh Jackman and Kate Beckinsale), but there's also something to be said for the plot. I give it 2 out of 4 stars. If nothing else, rent it to admire Hugh's hunkiness and Kate's awesome hair.

- Eat only a couple more of the delicious lemon sugar cookies Brent made last night from a mix we got at Williams-Sonoma. By the way, these aren't the ones Brent made, but aren't these adorable? Kinda pricey but so cute!
- Laundry - boooooring
- Wedding site visit - Brent and I looked at two places on Saturday and are checking out another place this afternoon.
- Workout - I may have to do one of my workout videos because I don't feel like trekking out to the gym in this weather.
- Sit and stare at the rain.
- Update my MP3 player. Time to put some new songs on there.
