Dear Moving to Utah,

I hate you.

You're ruining my life.

With Eternal Detestation,
Me






Dear Ghost in My House,

I know you're there.

Quit trying to be all sneaky.

I purposely do NOT fall asleep every night so that you CANNOT come and touch me while I'm unconscious.  Because, that's FREAKY and could totally happen because I understand how ghosts like you work.

Also, if you're going to be here, could you please just clean something or make yourself useful somehow?

Thanks a bunch,

From,
The Paranoid One











Dear Everyone Who Has a Baby,


Go enter the Cutest Baby Photo Contest brought to you by The Barrel of Blogs and Leelou.


You only have a few days left in which to enter.  And you'll want to win, because we have cool prizes.  And also because Leelou and me?  WE'RE AWESOME.


And then you can enter the giveaways during the big Baby Shower next week.


xoxo,

Dear Compassionate People,

Also next week, Green Jello with Carrots is donating all of their proceeds to Love for Slater which will help pay the hospital bills of a little boy who fell out of a two story window and landed head-first on concrete (yes, it was as bad as it sounds).

My mom goes to church with the little boy's mom, and I guess the little boy is doing better but still in a drug induced coma while his brain tries to stop swelling.

Scary stuff.

So yeah, if you want to help, you can buy stuff at Green Jello with Carrots or just donate here.

Many Thanks From,
This is Why I Love Blogging and Being Able to Help People Online












Dear Moving to Utah,

I still hate you.

die. Die. DIE.

So, I'm getting the feeling you're excited to move to Utah! Yay!
Rachel Sue said…
You are a good person. Seriously. Also, I really am sorry you have to move. So not fun.

Oh Melissa! You'll be fine... Just move to Bountiful and can hang cause I'm in Centerville! Yay!

maybe if you moved to SOUTHERN Utah it would be better...

I agree about Southern Utah. It is awesome. We have lots of splash pads.

Sadly, we baby moms are about two weeks behind on the google reader, so we missed the deadline for the photo shoot, and even if we knew about it in time, we might have had to blenderize apricots and stone cherries and wipe bums so much that we couldn't squeeze in a photo shoot anyway. And by we, I just mean me.

So, I just moved to Orem 3 months ago and it's not so bad.

I followed you. Just thought you would LOVE to follow me back. LOL

Really, call me. I need new friends.

I am an artist.

I really am. But not one of those deeply moving, "what do you mean you don't understand my painting, it's BLUE" kind of artists.  I'm more like one of those "oh hey, a pen and a napkin, doodle doodle doodle" kind of artists.  Because I do it for fun.  And yeah, for money.  But still.  Fun....most of the time. But I feel like branching into new mediums.  Do you know how long it's been since I painted?  Like with something other than finger paints or the kids' water colors where all the colors are mixed so they just come out brown anyway? It's been awhile.  I've been itching to paint for months. I've also wanted to let Monkey loose on a canvas for awhile.  He's not like my other kids (who all carry mine and Husband's arty genes) who like to draw endless pictures of unicorns, princesses, transformers or dinosaurs.  Monkey likes to feel his art.  He'll probably end up being one of those deeply moving types.  And I'...

I won't be offended if you answer NO to the question at the end of this post

So this post will probably lose me a lot of respect and friends and possibly even a few phone calls to the Health and Welfare department. But I just feel like posting it, it's kind of like saying it outloud, but without having to watch someone's face react to the horror. And today, I really feel the need to say it outloud. So if you read this and don't feel like being friends anymore, I get it. With everyone's kids going back to school (and our school district being the last to start in the entire world, so I'm still sitting here dealing with summer child overload) I keep reading the posts about how mothers are sad to see their kids go, and how much they're going to miss them, and how much they absolutely love motherhood. Want me to tell you what I think about motherhood? I hate it. There are times when I hate it more than any other thing on the planet. And there goes most of my friends. But I'm sorry. I do. I hate being a mother. I don't hate my c...

I'm not fat, my scale just hates me.

That's what it is. It's probably an evil scale anyway.  Always lying to me.  Telling me I'm fat. The worst part about it is that the scale has also convinced all the mirrors in my house to play along.  And I know it got my pant size on board ages ago.  It's also managed to get the camera to cooperate, even though I treat that camera like one of my dear precious children.  And this evil, hateful scale has attached a big mound of blubber right on my midsection. Well guess what scale - I hate you too. ***************************************************** I think showers are a waste of time. You get in just to get all wet, emerge dripping, get a nice clean towel wet, redress yourself, figure out something to do with your crazy 'just got wet and now it's going to dry ultra fuzzy, don't even think about using a blowdryer' hair, and put on all the makeup that you just washed off even though your mascara could probably have passed for a whole extra d...
