First of all I'm about to go crazy because this song is stuck in my head and it is stuck good and hard:
This is my kids favorite song and they play it all the time. ALL THE TIME. Just yesterday, Emily taught herself how to play it on the guitar. Right Emily (I know she is going to be reading this later) you can play it on the guitar. Blessedly she plays it along with the song as it is playing on her CD player, so I heard this song about 562 times yesterday. It's a very lovely and beautiful song but it somehow loses some of its appeal after hearing it 562 times in a 12 hour period. I've been singing it over and over, and I can't just sing it the normal way, so I sing stuff like, "Hey there Miss Addy what's it like in Salt Lake City". And the whole time I am thinking.....Andy......(thought with a disgusted snarl).
Zac just left for his 2nd day of Cub Scout Day Camp. He had so much fun yesterday. I am kind of missing him though. He was out of town all last week with Steve and now he was gone all day yesterday and will be gone all day today. Did anyone notice that in one of my comments I said Steve was out of town last week and no one came and killed me in my sleep? Thank you all for being so nice and thoughtful.
Last night Zac begged me to buy him a Lunchable to take to Day Camp today. He said that yesterday all the boys were making fun of him and his other friend because they were the only ones who had lunches made by their mothers and everyone else had Lunchables. Seriously? So I woke up today to go on my morning walk and decided I would walk to Walgreen's and buy him a Lunchable. I thought I should tell Steve where I was going just in case I didn't come back so he would know what to tell the police (yeah, I have issues, did you click on the "killed in my sleep" link above"?). I explained to him why I was going there and this is the conversation that followed:
Steve: They were making fun of him for that? He should have called them "cancer patients" because they ate processed food.
Me: Are you making fun of me?
Steve: (with a deadpan face) Why is that making fun of you?
Me: (stare) (raised eyebrows)
Steve: (with a deadpan face) How would my saying that be making fun of you?
Me: (stare) (raised eyebrows) (thinking: he got home late last night, he probably didn't read it)
Me: Because I said something like that on my blog yesterday.
Steve: (with a deapan face) I don't even know what Gatorade you're talking about.
Me: You ARE making fun of me!
So, ummm Walgreen's doesn't open until 8:00. So I decided to go next door to 7-11. Let me just tell ya, there are some mighty scary people at the 7-11 that early in the morning. We never go to 7-11 so I don't know if that is the normal crowd or if all the freaky people just convene there at the wee hours of the morning. They only had one kind of lunchable there and it was a small one and I didn't want to send Zac off with cancer food and make him be hungry all day, so I walked up the street to Alberston's and bought the dang Lunchable. Bratty little Lunchable toting scouts.
Anyway I left the safety of my little neighborhood and walked all the way to Alberson's and back and I wasn't accosted once! I am so proud and relieved all at the same time.

This is exactly how I feel when I walk out the door in Denver. I hate walking the dog becasue you never know how many homeless people are around the corner. Not to mention they are building a new apartment building across the street so there are always those nice workers saying things under their breath. (Well..I might be paranoid.)
You are too crazy and too paranoid for living in SLC. I can't even imagine what your life would be like if you lived somewhere else.
I'm glad you made it home safe.
By the way, I love you and your paranoia.
i don't want to worry you.
But who is that behind you?
Just kidding. It must be horrible living in a crime laden city like SLC. You should try small town missouri or something
What was that? Another fluke?
