some bright things on this rainy day

Sometimes, you just need something to brighten up your day whenever your town is experiencing torrential rain and flood watches.

Like some half off pink tulips from Walmart (tulips, despite what Meg Ryan says, are actually the friendliest flowers)

Or some Fiestaware daydreams (after lingering ten minutes in front of the Fiesta display, the lady at Macy's asked me if I needed any help -- I was too embarrassed to tell her I just liked looking at all of the bright, yummy looking dishes)

And some chicken parmesan, waiting for me and James in the crockpot after my afternoon class.
