Coffee and Rain

I stopped at my favorite coffee shop this morning to get my usual 20 oz nonfat latte.  I don't stop too often because I have only been able to turn down the delicious baked goods once.  Today makes twice.  I opted for a container of fresh fruit instead.  It just looked pretty.  I should have taken a picture.  Anyway, one of my coworkers walked into my office as I was devouring my delicious strawberries, cantaloupe, and pineapple.  He jokingly told me I need to eat healthier.  I told him that I would be eating my weight in spaghetti later today.  He said, "That's a lot of spaghetti!"  Immediately after the words came out of his mouth, he looked terrified.  As he started stammering, it dawned on me that he thought I thought he meant I was fat.  Well, in my opinion, eating a baby's weight in spaghetti is a heck of a lot of spaghetti.  So, eating MY weight is nearly unfathomable.  He quickly exited my office.  I think I'll let him think I'm mad at him for a bit.

The weather people say it's going to rain this afternoon/night.  It has been 32 days since we have had any measurable rain.  We got about 40 large drops a week or so ago.  That's it.  Everything is brown except the weeds.  They've predicted rain a couple times in the past month, but the rain has failed to fall.  With this prediction of rain comes the promise of slightly cooler temperatures.  Just the small hope that we'll have at least one day under 100 degrees has greatly improved attitudes.  For the past few weeks, people have been downright mean.  Me included.  So, for the sake of all humanity, I really hope it rains and cools off a few degrees!
