I love rain days, at least when I am not expected to do anything! There are so many things that you can do on a rainy day that are just better because it is raining. I love the rain. It makes me smile. I am that girl who wants to dance in the rain, as long as its warm! Here are 11 activities I love to do when it rains.

1. Dance

There is just something freeing and energizing about letting lose and dancing. Sometimes you just have to let loose and dance. for one reason or another it is even better when it is raining. It is almost like the rain is washing all of your troubles, stress, and anxiety away.

2. Walk my dog

Rain can be calming and when its warm, I like walking my dog because she does not quite understand rain either and it is really cute, plus its just nice to be just me and her for a little while.

3. Listen to music

Sometimes it is just too cold to dance in the rain so instead, you pump up the music inside and dance all around the house! right? Or at least that is what I do!

4. Read

And other times you need the comfort of other people without having actual other people. In this case, I read. For me, reading is entering another world altogether and I love it!

5. Netflix

Other times, your eyes hurt and you just want to watch. whether its normal T.V., Netflix or Hulu, It all has the same effect.

6. Online Shopping

Now this can be dangerous... I can spend all day shopping online, but problem is I end up spending a lot of money too...

7. Lay in bed all day

Sometimes we just need to sleep, or at least do nothing and the sound of rain can be so relaxing and mind numbing. It is amazing

8. Drive

Driving in the rain can also give you that calming relaxing feeling. soft music, rain pounding on the roof, and an endless country road in front of you.

9. Organize and Clean

There is something about rain that just makes staying in side, cleaning and organizing so much easier to do. Or if your like Monica, you can vacuum your vacuum!

10. Cook or Bake

I love to cook and bake anyhow but, on rain days it goes in over drive. I want warm baked chocolate chip cookies or fresh baked zucchini bread.

11. Go to the Movies
