This is my ideally spent rainy day:
Wake up around 10, look out the window, and spend another hour in bed listening to rainy day albums (Birdy's self-titled album Birdy, The Lumineers self-titled album The Lumineers, or John Mayer's Battle Studies).
Get up an hour later and make something comforting for breakfast like banana pancakes, bacon and hash browns with ketchup.
Spend another hour or two in pajamas with a cup of tea and an "it's on the list" book.
Take a break, put on some water loving shoes and run outside to dance in the rain. Lay in the grass and just watch the raindrops fall. Then run inside, take off everything and get into a steaming hot bath with more tea and a different book.
After an hour at the least, lethargically get out and put on the comfiest outfit. This would typically consist of sweatpants, no underwear, a perfectly worn in tee shirt and a blanket scarf.
This is when you curl up on the couch with a bowl of popcorn and a good movie (preferably a feel-good movie, like August Rush, Juno, One Day, or anything directed by John Hughes).
The only other thing left to do now, besides eating a mish-mash of freezer finds (including but not limited to shepard's pie, ice cream, peas, spring rolls, Christmas cookies, and an assortment of appetizers), is playing board games.
Break out the deck of cards, Monopoly, Scrabble, Operation and Trouble and go at it until you start yawning.
The yawn is a clear sign you spent the day perfectly.
Keep this in mind on a rainy day:
In life, there is no such thing as a rainbow without any rain.
