bits of my weekend.

Two things I learned this weekend:
1. If you stare directly into the sunset you will continue to see it for like, two hours after when you close your eyes. It's like mini souvenir. But a dangerous souvenir that will probably cause permanent damage to your eyes.
2. If you don't know what is in old purse I suggest you don't jam your hand in there like there is a full plate of cheese fries waiting to be eaten at the bottom... because there might somehow be a broken picture frame in there and you will slice your finger right on open.

The two sauces in the above picture is ketchup and fry sauce. For those of you not from Utah, fry sauce is... wonderful, just wonderful. It's ketchup mixed with mayo.  It's a Utah thing.

in reality and dreams.

I'm going to take a step back of everything I've been worrying about and just sit here and enjoy this sunset. You are welcome to join me, Reader.

ski utah! and skiing requires snow.

I was pleased when I got home today to a Bernese Mountain Dog on the front lawn.

 

Was this real? 

Was this dog mine? 

Did someone finally find it in their hearts to get me my dream dog?  

Is that Steve dressed in a costume for Halloween? He does a really stupendous dog impression.

I was not pleased when the bastard owner walked up and asked why I was calling it Spot, brushing it's hair and singing lullabys to it.

Years ago, I lived in a very warm,  somewhat dark and comfortable place. Food was always provided and fed to me, I got to relax, and frankly, I could kick it whenever I wanted. This lasted for about nine months where I was then forced to relocate... I was basically pulled out. My mom has a strict 9 month lease. 

So here I am today, living in Salt Lake City. Where we have weather patterns. Snow being included in those patterns. Where it generally snows from October-April and yes, sometimes early May. Want to know how I know this? Because I've lived here for twenty-one years. I'm sharing with this with you Reader, for one reason... that reason being: it's astonishing how many Utahns (my age and older) are still shocked when they see snow and will go out of their way to let you know what they were doing when they discovered it was snowing.

Living in Utah, you should not be startled to see snow.  However, you should be startled though if you meet a girl in Provo who isn't a Twilight maniac.
