pi (not Pie) Day

No matter how hard I tried, I just could not muster the energy or will to bake a pie yesterday, 3/14, also known as "pi" day.  I looked through both of my pie books (see previous "Pie Literature" entry) obsessed over one called a Black Bottom Pie that was promising because it was complicated AND I had all the ingredients for the pie already, precluding a trip to the store in the worst weather ever.  Seriously.  This is one step away from "natural disaster" bad.

While walking Annie in said "almost-a-natural-disaster-weather" this week, I took a few photos to express her joy in walking in the rain.  

Wow Mom, this weather is so depressing I can't even bark at that strange person.

I will pose, but only because this weather has drained my will to jump.

Annie was so upset (either because I didn't bake a pie or because of the weather putting a "damper" - ha ha - on all her outdoor fun) she tore up her Elephant Titus and then left the scene of the crime to nap on the couch. 

If I can't have fun, no one can! 

Finally, we gave up on all outdoor fun.  Annie took a long nap and I read an entire book.  However, I have a feeling the weather will be better this weekend for Annie's Princess Party at the Dog Park!
