What are your favorite things to do on a rainy Saturday?

It’s not a top ten list, but here are 5 things I did today.

1. Wake up slowly to the music of raindrops dancing on the roof. Snuggle back under the covers, letting the rhythm sing me back to sleep for another half hour or so.
2. Hang out in jammies while catching up on a few shows that have been building up in the DVR (yes, we still have a DVR) while drinking a delicious Geoff-made chai tea latte.
3. Read (from two novels) during the day without feeling guilty that I should be catching up on work that is still lingering. Okay–make that without too much guilt–there is always lingering work!
4. Pull on a raincoat and take a walk between the raindrops. Step carefully over the snails that have arrived for the rainy day snail convention and be sure to notice the raindrops hanging like jewels from the bird of paradise.
5. Curl up in the cozy chair, cover up with a comfy throw blanket, open up the laptop and leisurely catch up on some of that lingering work…on my own terms.
