I can't explain this

But I watched the final episode of LOST last night. Even though I have never watched LOST. And guess what? It made me cry. So what I have learned from this experience is that I never have to watch an entire movie or follow a series or read a complete book again. All I have to do is cut to the chase, have a good weep and be done with it.

I thought I might talk about handling rejections this morning--sort of the do's and don'ts--but instead I have to say it's snowing here in Salt Lake City. On May freaking 25th. I'm holding Ken personally responsible since he's always all I HATE THE HEAT! I NEVER WANT TO LIVE IN ARIZONA! LET'S TURN ON THE AIR CONDITIONER RIGHT NOW! That's why my beloved and I are living in a state where it can snow 9 months out of the year.

He just called up the stairs to tell me he brought me home a surprise 12 pack of Dr. Pepper. Clearly he's trying to get on my good side.

Our weekend of magical thinking

So every December Ken and I put out the Snow Village on our dining room hutch. And I enjoyed it so much this year that we didn't take it down. Every night I've lit it up and thought how very pretty it is.

But on Saturday WHEN WE WOKE UP TO SNOW ON THE FIRST DAY OF MAY Ken went, "Maybe if we take down the Snow Village, it will stop." Yes. That's how we think about things at our house. We can control the weather and possibly the universe by taking down the rest of our Christmas decorations. So we took it down. And today it is not snowing.

You're welcome.
