Why My Resolve To Live Here Dwindles to Nothing in the Winter

Reasons I Hate Utah Right Now:
  1. It's snowing again.
  2. I'm going to miss an author signing because I have to attend a certain party that I tried to get out of orginially.
  3. Driving in the snow.
  4. Everybody smears everything with mayonaise. Or cooks with it. Or layers it over salad. Or puts it in the stupid jello.
  5. The ugly, dirty, wet, disgusting, never melting snow.
  6. Snow bibs. Snow boots. Snow Gloves. Snow Hats. Snow Coats. All wet and muddy and all over my house.
  7. Skiiers. (They like the blinking snow.)
  8. Having to mail things to family and go to the post office in the snow.
  9. Did I mention these Utah people put mayonaise in the jello. In the jello! Like jello isn't bad enough on its own. And Fry Sause - sold prebottled because even the ketchup has to have maynaise in it!
  10. AND THE PUTRIFYING COLD, TREACHEROUS, ISOLATING SNOW THAT IS FALLING RIGHT NOW TO COVER ALL THE ALREADY-HERE SNOW!!

Okay, I might feel better now. Or not. Where's the chocolate?

  1. yeah, that one winter o' snow was enough for me; my mama says it snowed in redding this week, though, so perhaps the snow is unavoidable...

  2. Tell us how you really feel! :) ha ha just kidding around! I just love how you tell us your feelings without holding back! Your my kind of woman!

    People seriously put Mayonaise in the Jello??? My only quam with Jello is....(coming from England Jello is a dessert and it comes after the meal not on the same plate as my meal!)

  3. haha - that salad with mayo in it is one of Rob's faves - BARF me! He has tried to get me to make it - I refuse. I HATE mayo! And the salad with mayo slathered on top makes me gag every time it is served - I used to eat it to be nice but nope, not anymore.

    I love the snow - sorry I do. I'm an Idahoan ya know. :) But I do hate the bundling/unbundling of the children.

  5. Julie, girl, where else in the world can your husband have such a well-paying, steady job? Karma demands that the bad be at least as much as the good, for balance to be complete. (It's late on a Sunday evening, so I sound completely stoned.) Anyway, if I catch anyone putting mayo on/in my jello, there will be h-e-double-hockey-sticks to pay! EW!
