So, it's raining today, and I have to say - I'm kind of liking it.
Hubby and I went out for breakfast and then to the grocery store so that I can actually cook some of our food this weekend. I did not enjoy getting the bottom of my jeans wet traipsing through so many puddles. (Maybe there is some wisdom to wearing high-waters, even if they do look dated, they're great for... high water!)
But now I'm at home, all snug and dry. I'll enjoy a cup of hot tea -today's choice is Mango Ceylon- then read a little to get my inspirational thought processes flowing. After that I'm hoping to put pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard) and get started on all the revisions that I need to complete for my work-in-progress.
Maybe later I'll make a pot of soup. Rainy days call for soup. At least at my house.
So is it raining at your house today? What will you do on this rainy day?

Getting To Know Me
Welcome to the brand new blog of aspiring Christian fiction writer, Sarah Romine.
To introduce myself, I'll start with a questionnaire I saw on a few other writers' blogs, which will hopefully give a good idea of just who I am.
1. What is your occupation? While I wish I could say author, for now I do financial audits and reviews for Pennsylvania's college state grant program.
2. What color are your socks right now? It's still fairly warm out, so I've been wearing the cool new ballet flats my sister got me into wearing, which apparently would be uncool if worn with socks. And just at present I'm sitting cross-legged on my couch, feet completely unshod, and typing on my computer. So, no socks.
3. What are you listening to right now? My clicking keyboard and my husband's scrawling pen. There are a few advantages to not having children...
4. What was the last thing you ate? Cheesecurls.
5. Can you drive a stick-shift? No, which is a thorn in the heart of my husband, who is a manual transmission snob.
6. If you were a crayon, what color would you be? Blue, because it is the color to which the least amount of people have a negative response. What can I say, I like to be liked.
7. Who was the last person you spoke to on the phone? My father-in-law who called to wish me a belated happy birthday (it was yesterday).
8. Favorite drink? That would be a toss up between my fetal addiction to Pepsi, and my new love of iced chai lattes.
9. Favorite sport to watch on tv? Ice skating.
10. Have you ever died your hair? Tried to die it red in high school because of my love of all things Anne-of-Green-Gables, but since I was too chicken to use permanent color it didn't really show. Right now it has some blonde highlights.
11. Favorite food? Mashed potatoes.
12. Last movie you watched? You've got mail. "Don't cry shopgirl, don't cry." Snif snif.
13. Favorite day of the year? Christmas eve.
14. What do you do to vent anger? I'm the perfect Proverbs 31 woman. I never get angry.
15. What was your favorite toy as a child? Anyone of the myriad of dolls I possessed. I think the one that crawled was probably the coolest.
16. What is your favorite season? Fall.
17. Hugs or kisses? From whom?
18. What are you reading? I just finished The Oak Leaves by Maureen Lang. Definitely recommend it.
19. What is on the floor of your closet? Shoes.
20. Cherry or blueberry? Cherry.
21. Favorite smell? Dryer sheets.
22. How many years at your current job? Four.
23. Favorite day of the week? Friday.
24. Do you think you're funny? Only when I'm tired. Interpret that as you will.
25. Dream vacation? Europe! To visit all my favorite authors' homes and every museum and historical site I can find. Poor hubby.
Now that you know me, how about picking a question or two and telling a little about yourself? Or simply introduce yourself to me and the rest of my eager readership.
