Fear NO Puddle!!

So I bought a pair of yellow Hunter Short Wellies (pictured to the left) a while back.  I remember when I first laid eyes on them at Nordstroms...I was like "Paddington the Bear : I want these!!".  After weeks of contemplation, I finally caved and made the purchase, but I was thinking about returning them because I figured I'd never wear them. 

Well, I'm glad I didn't.  It's been raining here in LA almost non-stop since last night, so I decided this was a sign from Above to keep them and I gave them a whirl.  They.are.awesome!!

Earlier this week, when the first rains hit, I was ill prepared and ended up getting my shoes, socks, and jeans wet due to the falling raindrops, massive puddles, and raging sidewalk rivers.  I was so annoyed the rest of the day because everything from kneedown was damp.  As I hung my socks to dry, off a side drawer at work,  I vowed to be prepared to whip out the Wellies at the next sign of rain.

Low and behold, it has been raining here in LA, but this time I was prepared.  I confidently, albeit with a little child-like wonder, walked through swirling sidewalk rivers of rainwater and feared NO puddle as my jeans and spiffy argyle socks remained dry and protected.  T'was great  :)

Here Lies Monk - R.I.P

...Do you know what's in the water that you drink?  Well I do, and it's  a-maaaa-zing...


::Sigh::...you remember the time when that sick kid sneezed on Monk?  Or the time when Monk had to climb down into the sewers?  Or the time when Monk met the lady who had Trudy's eyes (that one almost made me cry)?

For the past 8 years USA's Monk has warmed my heart, made me laugh out loud, smile, cry, angry, happy, and/or mystified almost every Friday during the summers and winters.  I always looked forward to watching my Psych then Monk, and it just made my weekends THAT much better.  But, as sad as I am to see the show end, I think its had a very good run, and I also think that it's the perfect time to bow out.  Tis bittersweet, but now we FINALLY get to find out what the eff happened to Trudy!!  It's about damn time.

So, I bid adieu to you, Monk.  It's been a great 8 seasons.  Thanks for the memories.
