singin in the rain.

Today we had a serious thunderstorm--with hail and everything. Our driveway looked like a river. And in the past two weeks we've been caught in several huge downpours--me and the kids dripping our way through Target (because of course I don't have an umbrella.) Not that I really mind, because you know how I love thunderstorms. Did you know my favorite TV shows are Storm Stories and that Mega Disasters one (where they show you what would happen if a Level 3 Hurricane hit New York City. Stuff like that. Which incidentally is seriously bad news. Like if there is anything close to a hurricane getting near Manhattan, you just should be scootin' right on out of there. Pronto.)

Anyway, back to umbrellas. I saw on oh happy day the most beautiful umbrellas (actually parasols), but I clicked on over to the site and found the most exquisite umbrellas and daydreamed for awhile about all the different photo shoots you could do with them. And then I remembered how my favorite anthropologie catalogue cover had a bunch of colorful umbrellas (all open) floating in a pond. And then I copied a few umbrella pictures onto my desktop, so I could remember where I found then.
But then I wasn't sure if I should put them here on gillar girl, or over on bohemia--my project file. Which led me to: should I just combine these two blogs into one, or do I keep them separate? My eternal blogging question. And I still don't know. But here they are on gillar girl (mostly because obviously I had quite a bit to say about them.)

The end.
