Let the Thunder Be the Cause of Your Beating Heart

There I go again, talking about the rain. Well. It's raining. So deal with it.

For as long as I can remember, I have always had a fascination with shines, sparkly, reflective, or shimming kind of things. When I pass a jewelers shop in a mall, I'm always drawn to the dancing lights that are reflecting from the gems. Any kind of crystal or prism that sends out an array of rainbows when sunlight hits it, I love being near. Kind of like this. . . 

I bought this from a kite store the other day, and I am so happy to have got it. During the late afternoon , the slowly setting sun beats down on the west side of my house, causing all the light to shine through (as well as making the temperature go up at least 10 degrees). Now, I have a reason not to shut the curtains. From where it is hanging, this little charm reflects a while collection of rainbows across my walls and floor, which the cats and myself stare at. When it spins, the cats chase after the little lights. 

Rio was the most interested in it today. 

So, aside from my obsession with sparkly things, my day has been lovely. The booming thunderstorm overhead has deterred me from using too many electronics today, however, when I did, Huxley knocked a shelf over, causing the Xbox to shift while I was playing a game, which scratched the disk beyond repair. Luckily, there is a newer and better version of it for fairly cheap. 

Well, I'm off to try and drag my editor out for a quick stroll in the rain. However, he keeps telling me that he has this. . . "Math homework" he needs to do. I am suspicious that such a thing exists.
