NEW UTAH SHOPPING

I want to thank the shopping gods for bringing H&M and Crate and Barrel to Utah.  Well done. Fashion Place opened up bunches and grundles of new stores on 11.11.11 and boy are they amaze-balls.  I have spent too much money at these stores already but I can't stop going back. They are just so darn pretty.  While the shopping gods did bless me with these lovelies they also took away something very special and sacred to me: Nordstrom, Orem.  Why?  No, seriously WHY???  It has been very hard these past two weeks knowing my days with a Nordstrom (5 minutes from work) are numbered.  But I am being extremely truthful here.  Harder-than-most-things-I-have-gone-through-kind-of-truth.  The only way I will ever emotionally recover is H&M buys the old Nordstrom building and debuts their second store in Utah.  

Oh and happy big 60 to my momma today - well done on surviving life with your kids this long

AWKWARD THANKSGIVING

I spent Thanksgiving this year at Lake Powell.  It was all going swell until I wished the Navajo Indian who helped me at the boat dock a "Happy Thanksgiving!" Awkward.
