It Never Rains In So Cal...So Wrong...

Remember that old childhood rhyme "its raining its pouring" and remember all those folky rock songs pledging that it never rains in Southern California. Well, it does rain in So Cal! In fact its raining right now. Reminds me of Florida, flash flood warnings etc, though here you also have mudslide warnings ( but no worries, we aren't in one of those areas).

We do however, have a leak in our roof. One which ominously awaits overhead in the living room growing in bubbles and colors with each day that passes. To say its icky, would be quite the understatement. Now were facing what they swear will be the biggest rain event of the winter so far ( for all of you in Florida think about the continuous hurricane coverage in central Florida even when they hurricane was elsewhere, the way you saw the same radar for hours on end and it was raining outside the whole time not changing because the real bulk of the storm was elsewhere) and you have our local weather people ( only ours have more botox and some occasionally odd tastes in on air fashion.

So while it rains, I'll keep watch make sure the patch on the ceiling doesn't continue to grow like the Blob ( the one from the 50's not the cheesy remake) and we'll see when the sun shines again in Southern California...maybe in time for another weekend walk on the Santa Monica Pier (BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!) though this time, I'll just have to remember the sunscreen. (pale southern Irish girl, Pacific Ocean Sunshine really need a moderator like sunblock to be good friends) Hope everyone else is having beautiful weather...we will again for about 10 minutes on Wednesday they say! =)
