For the love of books...

So I went to the book store last night and got me a book (imagine that ) anyway the book store was full of high school kids.. acting like huge asses .. just being stupid .. The girls were hangin’ on the boys and the boys were acting all tough and cool ( um you are in a book store people not a bar) Imaging this .. here is sit in the book store trying to make a decision on what book to purchase and this is what I hear… “ Oh my god, did you see what she was wearing today? ” and “You look so skinny, ” No I am fat and bloated.. Aunt flow ya know” DEAR GOD !!! ..I tried to think back to when I was in high school and seriously wondered if I was that annoying ....I probably was.. No wonder I pissed all of the grown up’s ... Geez I know that I am not an old bitty however I wanted to get out of the book store as fast as I could.. before I started yelling at these poor souls about proper book store manners and where the hell are your parents? and why are you all acting like monkeys? Don’t you all have somewhere ELSE to be? Why are you taking so loud? Do high school kids have bad hearing ? And shut the hell up !! People are trying to relax here and we don’t want to hear your stupid asses !
So I guess that from now on I will be shopping on-line for my books… Because high school kids, me and book stores are a bad combo.

What happened to Mariah ?

So I had a life changing moment last night.. The kind where someone tells you something and it hits HARD.. It made me stop and take a good look at myself.

Where the HELL is Mariah ???
(Maybe she is running through the tulip field)

Please refrain from singing …

First let me say …..
I love you mom for naming me what you did however, maybe you thought that I would grow up to be polite??

So here is the deal … When 80 % (very precise numbers here) of the people that meet me for the first time feel compelled to say one of the two things :

#1 “Hey…Have you seen the movie Paint Your Wagon?” then they proceed to sing to me “They call the wind Mariah”

(For the 4% of you out there that don’t know the lyrics.. here is a little snippet for you)

Away out here they got a name
For rain and wind and fire
The rain is Tess, the fire Joe,
And they call the wind Mariah

Dear god… Ok so this freaks me out a little.. Complete strangers singing to me …
PLEASE DO NOT SING TO ME EVER !!!

What if my name was Sharona ??
Then would you sing me that song also??

Also I get this “Hey.. Did you know that you are named after a song”?
Oh my god really ?????? And they also will sing it to me…Because just incase I have NEVER EVER heard it in my 29 years of living ..
And the worst part is that they think that they are the very first human being on the face of this earth that has said (sung) that to me. And in a way I think that they feel like they are doing me a service so that I know where my name came from blah blah blah …


#2 I get this one all the time “Oh Mariah… like Mariah Carey?”
And the very worst is when they laugh like “oh my ... I made a funny woo hoo everyone look at me”. !!!!
Ohh I want to gouge there eyes out !!! What is wrong with these people ?? So if your name is George.. Do I get to say “like ..of the jungle”? Or what if your name is Dick? Do I get to say “ ha ha like cock”?

Here is a bit of FREE advice .. Try saying this ....
“ Nice to meet you Mariah” and then shut the hell up …there is an idea for ya !!!

This needs to stop Immediately !! Because I missed out on the whole politeness lesson in life and this is the exact reason that half the people that meet me for the first time think that I am a total bitch…

Logan

Ry and I took a road trip Friday just to get away from the city for a day. We ended up staying the night in Logan. What an odd town… … We ended up eating at “Logan’s finest” restaurant and they brought out sodas to us IN THE 20oz bottles with fancy wine glasses ( we had a great laugh about that one) I ordered the chicken parmesan and Ry ordered the prime rib. About 7 bites into my meal I noticed the texture of my chicken was not right.. so I had to investigate … YEP my chicken was raw in the middle ….. YUCK ..So the waiter ..( and I do have to say that he was the BEST waiter that I have EVER had by the way .. maybe they raise them well in Logan??) Offered me a fully cooked replacement .. but at that point I was not into giving salmonella another try.. so he gave me desert.. Apple oatmeal crisp with Hagan das cinnamon ice cream .. ohh yaa ..that made it all better..
After dinner we drove around Logan for a bit.. here is the deal .. I LOVE small towns but .. Logan is a very odd place .. Everything is closed (people it is Friday night) so we headed out of the city and up the mountain and this is where I discovered that I have a love for old barns…. I am going to drive all of Utah and take as many pictures of these barns as I can.. I LOVE EM… some of them look like they are held together by termites holding hands… SO we drove and took a few pictures.. and went back to our room (which SUCKED) why oh why do the hallways smell like old men and body odor?? But it was just a place to sleep ..



the next morning we decide to drive up to bear lake … I LOVE road trips.. We spent some time at the lake .. then drove down the canyon home… All in all we had some great alone time and it was nice to get away!
