Thunder, Lightning, and Rain...Oh Joy!

Thunder.....
Thunder is so great It makes for a great scary movie atmosphere. One thing that I hate about thunder, though, is that it sounds a bit like an earthquake, which by the way, I am deathly afraid of. However, when there is thunder, it makes a rainy day so much better.

Lightening....
Lighteneing is one of those things that I used to be very afraid of. The fact that you can still see it, even when your eyes are closed, is a little frightening. As I have gotten older, I have learned to really enjoy it. If it is a flash, I like to think that the world is taking a picture. If it is a bolt, well.....that is just awesome!!! By the way, did you know that when there is a lightening storm the safest place to be is in your car. Just thought I'd share that with you free of charge.

Rain.......
Rain is wonderful. I love the smell of rain, I love the sound of rain, I love being in the rain, I love watching the rain, etc. Rainy days are wonderful for sitting in front of a fire with a blanket, drinking hot chocolate, and watching a good movie. Unfortunately for me, most of the rainy days that I experience are at work or school and are not that enjoyable. Oh well.....one rainy day I am going to take a sick day and live my dream!!!!

Gas Prices....

This picture, I think, best describes the current gas prices. I can not even believe the cost of gas these days. It literally costs me over $40 to fill up my little tiny tank. And, I have to fill up like 3-4 times a month. That is approx. $120-160 a month. OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!
