the things we do to avoid work.

Here in Utah, it is a holiday weekend. Us Utah natives call it Pioneer Day. It marks the day of  the entry of Brigham Young and the first group of Mormon pioneers into the Salt Lake Valley on July 24, 1847.

With all that being said, It's a pretty mellow holiday... and everyone in the state of Utah has work off tomorrow EXCEPT ME!! Let me take this time to take pity on myself:

Everyone else has the day to do whatever they please, except me.
Everyone else has the morning to sleep in and avoid the morning battle with the alarm clock, except me.
Everyone else can be happy and cheerful whilst away from their place of work, except me.
Everyone else will be running, jumping, skipping, participating in synchronized dances (much like the scene from (500) Days of Summer), except me.
Everyone else will be enjoying an ice cream cone in the park that will escalate into a water fight, except me.
I dunno, what else do people do on their day off for a holiday weekend?

I'm done crying and moaning and letting my 8 year old Kaleena shine through. For the duration of this post at least.

Now, I will proceed to make a list of terrible things I would rather do than work tomorrow:
-Mow the lawn.
-Pull weeds.
-Put a pair of sopping wet jeans on.
-Watch TV with the volume on 17.
-Walk barefoot on yellow, dead, crisp, dead grass.
-Wash my hair without using conditioner.
-Put a toothpick under by big toe nail and kick a soccerball.
-Listen to Nickelback. Errrr. I take that one back.
-Play with a poodle.
-Watch the George Lopez Show.
-Put my hand in a jar of marshmellow fluff and not wash it for the rest of the day.
-Run stair laps.
-Be locked in a room with a wild animal.
-Run out of gas.

You get the picture. I mean, I don't celebrate this holiday, but when everyone else I know will be enjoying them a free Friday, I will make my complaint heard. Not to mention, if I actually did some of the stuff on that list of mine, I would have some nifty stories come Monday.

This whiny post is officially over.
