No, Thank You

To Utah:

*****

I love that you are home.

.....

I love that my family is here.

.....

I love that you are fab to look at and have gorgeous mountains and trees and lakes.

.....

I love that I can go outside without fear of getting gang banged.

.....

.....

And it's a dang good thing I love you for all these reasons because I'm not particularly in love with you for this:

.....

Thank you traditional October snow.

.....

.....

Or this gem left at my door this week:

.....

.....

This seems to be a Utah tradition.

The old ghost in the window.

I swear it's this ghost and the cookies left with it that brought about a lovely stomach bug for me and Brett.

Maybe not poisoned, but a bad vibe for sure.

.....

Thank you, ghost.

..... .....

For reassuring us that we're not totally unpopular in our neighborhood and for giving me a reason to bake and doorbell ditch.

..........

(ENTER SARCASM HERE)

Fun!

.....

However, I will say that this snow and recovering from this bug I've got have left me with no intention of leaving the house today.

.....

And, rocking Jack to sleep with a little snow falling, and the antincipation of a lovely nap for the both of us makes me feel rather forgiving.

Utah, I still love you.

.....

Still hate the ghost.

.....

And Jack, if I could climb inside your crib and take my nap with you, I would.
