It has been raining where I live for the past couple of days. Today we are under a flash flood warning. It's raining pretty bad right now. I don't know about anyone else but this type of weather makes me tired and sleepy. I just want to lay down and take a nap but I don't want to sleep the day away.
Usually when it is raining I will stay inside and watch television, movies, video games, mylot, play games on the computer. Or I will play board and card games with my siblings. I also just relax while it is raining as well.
If the electricity goes out during the rain or a storm then most likely I will play board and card games or take a nap. Otherwise I will just sit and talk to my sisters and my mother.
I am just glad it is not hot anymore. I am actually happy that it is raining because we were having very hot days in a row. I'm so glad that it is fall where I am at and happy that it has cooled down. Although usually in the fall and spring time I want to go outside and the rain makes me want to stay inside.

I love the heat. My daughter loves the rain. She will go out and play in it but me, I just feel slow and tired. I don't like to go anywhere. I like to leave my pj's on and start cleaning. I also seem to spend more time on the internet when it is cold and rainy.

I don't have PJ's on but I don't have jeans on either. I just have comfortable clothes on. I also like to stay inside. I thought about cleaning but I didn't really feel like it. I might in clean in a little bit. The kitchen needs quite a bit of cleaning right now. I would rather mylot though. I tend to spend more time on the internet and relaxing while it is raining.

when i am at home, i love when it rains. its nice to make a hot soup and share it with your family while having a conversation. sleeping is another option, i just love sleeping when its raining outside.
but when i have work, i hate it when it rains, its difficult to commute through a public transport, arriving at work wet and cold. hahaha

Rain is refreshing if it is not too heavy or stormy. If it gets stormy, yes indeed, I have to stay indoors and stay safe. If it is a normal light rain, I carry on with my usual duties, going to work and returning on schedule. Spring is here now, and the sun is shining. The leaves are changing color, and look so beautiful along the roads.

It was raining yesteday, but today it's a pretty day, albeit a bit windy. I went outside to check the mail earlier and the wind felt good. We stay inside when it is raining as well, and usually just listen to it rain. Last night, well 1 AM this morning, as I Was going to sleep I heard the rain and it was a beautiful sound.
A little rain is good, especially right before bed, or when there is no errands to run. I read, watch t.v., mylot, or play video games / board games as well.. Usually with my husband.

For myself, sometimes depending on how hard it's pouring... I'd go outside just to get soaked for fun. xD But on most days, I'd usually listen to the soothing sounds of the rain, relax, maybe have a good read, or just sleep. :)

I also like to sleep when it rains. I might take a nap but I doubt I will today. I took a quick nap yesterday but I didn't get much sleep. I slept pretty good yesterday. So I will probably watch some television and get some rest for a while right now. I will also mylot for a while longer. It has almost stopped raining now which is good.

Hello O2bnocn! I simply love rainy days. People say that this days are made to either count the money, or make babies :D. Since i have no money to count, and to make babies requires a man near ( since i'm not married my BF is at his house, so i'm left all alone), i prefer to sit in my bed and read a book, wach a sad movie, or sleep

My boyfriend is not near as well. I like to watch movies on a rainy day also if I have any to watch. At the moment though I don't have any to watch. I watched all the movies I rented the other day. I don't read much but I could read my college book for one of the classes I am taking in a couple of months. It would be nice to get an early start on it.

It rained a lot last night, and it's supposed to start raining heavily again in a few hours. I tend to stay inside-I read, watch some TV, I get caught up on school work. It makes me really drowsy, too.
It was super hot, here, too, but it's starting to cool. I'm very glad- it got so hot here that it didn't feel like fall. I absolutely love the cool weather of fall.

That is long hours to work. At least you have something to do for a long time. Also you are making money which is good. I currently don't have a job and I am on break from college but I might read one of my books for one of the classes I have to take to get an early start. So this way I will have a little bit more time when i go back officially. I know that it will keep me busy and I might have to be doing college work for ten to twelve hours a day. I will probably do that later. It's just so easy to relax rather than clean, read, or do some work when you are at home and it is raining.

It's also raining here in our place the whole day. I just sleep the whole day because I'm too lazy to do anything even turning on my computer. Right now I'm mylotting and at the same time watching tv and it's still raining here. I just hope there will be no brown out.

It finally stopped raining and it is beautiful outside. I wish I had the time to go outside today but I just get too bored. I will try to go out some on the other nice fall and spring days. I usually watch television when I am on my computer also. It rained for about four to five days straight and I spent a lot of time on the computer and watching television. The other half of the time I spent sleeping.

I hate raining when I'm out, but I love raining when it's hot and I'm at home. I drink hot chocolate or coffee and reading a book. Sometimes, I enjoyed movie marathon and curl up on my bed. Of course, it's sweet when my man embraces me while watching a romantic film on a DVD.
If I'm alone, I just read a book or write poem or short stories near my window.

Hello there,
I actually feel sad when it rains...I don't know why but it's gloomy and dark sometimes so this atmosphere gives me a very down feeling. As much as possible if don't have anything to do outside, I'd rather stay home and watch my favorite movies. On the other hand, if I'm not busy and I have all my time, I love standing and getting soak under the heavy rain. "Treat the kid in you," they say. :-)

I get a very peaceful mood when it is dark and rainy. Although at times I can get in a sad mood. I think it is because it is quite, and peaceful to me. With such a hectic life and everyone being so loud all of the time. Although I wouldn't want it to rain or be that type of weather for a very long time.
I enjoy the nice spring weather more. Right now it is very nice outside. It's very windy and so beautiful. Might try and go outside for a bit later on. If not that will some on another day.

God made rains to take a nap! :D
honestly, I am taking a nap when it's raining. I feel so lazy and I have nothing to do. Sometimes I rather watch TV or watch my favorite movies and eat. Then still spend time with mylot and other online jobs.
I just hate when electricity goes off because I can't totally do what I want to do even napping.
But I love cold weather instead of summer.
I agree. I like to take naps when it is raining. I love when it rains when I am sleeping at night time. I even sleep better. I also like the cold weather instead of summer. I absolutely hate summer. @ejedronsrequiebam (19)

I both like and hate it when it rains. I like it in a way that I can finally get to chill out because the summer days in the Philippines are abnormally hot, and so I sometimes play sports to strengthen myself. But I hate it in a way that the streets become rivers on their own, because since I see no drainage systems, the streets flood up, and I don't like wading across such paths especially when I am wearing shoes. Here in the Philippines the weather has become so abnormal and you don't know when it would rain, and when it rains it brings catastrophe to us.

I really do enjoy it when it rains. I just love the rain. I find it so relaxing, calming, and soothing. I find that rainy days are just perfect to just stay home and not do anything special. Staying home, watching a movie, reading a book, or something like that.

On a rainy I usually feel more miserable and anxious, I do usually stay in unless I have to go out. Staying in the warm and dry.... :)

If I can I always go out when it rains, don't know why but I like to just be in rain.
Sometimes I stay at home and watch TV and really rarely read books.

I like to walk in the rain but if it is drizzling not with heavy rain. My mom use to scold me regarding that but still i won't care about it because i like that whether and i love to walk in the rain. It gives different experience for me and i will be too much of happy.

The rain makes it always the best opportunity for me to catch up with whatever I have to do at home. It almost is a way of forcing ourselves to have to deal with ourselves. Which is a way I look at it. Especially for people that live in a fast paced lifestyle always on the go. It's like that old saying goes...Sometimes it's good to simply stop doing everything and just listen to the rain.
