AFK: Been too busy admiring Washington
12 years ago
So,
After being totally sick and making some trips to the ER and all that jazz, having my hubby fly to Utah to help me move cause heck knows I was too ill to do it alone -- Finally made it to Washington!
Can I just say, it's soooooo refreshing to feel like I'm not a crazy person anymore....
Moving has opened my eyes that I am not indeed on the loony truck and it's just Utah that acts like a country unto itself with it's own idea of what is "normal"... The only things that I have left to say about Utah are 1) it's great to visit, but don't live there 2) only live there if you are Mormon.
I got nothing against Mormons, but a state that is just oozing with that much religion is bad news for anyone who isn't a convert (and doesn't follow the same sort of principals as them) - I have never placed much weight on if a person believes in god or not so long as they are a good person overall, but to Mormons in management positions (which tends to be how one gets into management there...) it matters quite a bit apparently. And once you are in, you can seemingly do no wrong (such as telling a woman that she should have kids before her uterus rots out.... yeah.... it's a real boys club...:/ ) [i will point out - that Utah Mormons ARE in fact different from Mormons raised in other states - after speaking to some and knowing some in and out the state in questions - it's only Utah that this tends to be the case...]
So both my hubby and I are much happier to be free in a free state :3
And the yarn - they have YARN stores practically EVERYWHERE here. I've been in heaven with all the yarn stores. Also art supply stores ... and the general friendliness of the people here. It's all so much more relaxing. I love the rain. I love the smell of coffee (I can't drink it anymore, but still love the smell!). and I love the way that it actually feels snappy outside like fall :3
MY GAWD - it's so nice! I plan on working on somethings soon, just trying to find a job out here has been a little bit difficult to work out since it would be easier with 2 cars, but oh well - who can really complain when things are so nice :3
