Snow You Didn't

I am someone who likes snow, generally.  That's not to say that I love everything about winter, but I do like snow.  I like how it makes everything pristine white, like a postcard.  I like how it feels falling gently on my nose.  I like big snowflakes that are magical.  Yes, magical.  I can't figure out how each one is different, can you?  If you can, don't tell me.

Yesterday the news warned us about a storm approaching.  Whoopety Doo.  We went to bed and the snow was already beginning to melt, get slushy and float away.  Sad really; especially for people who make their living in the tire business.  Do you know how hard it is to get people to buy snow tires when there is NO SNOW?  Ugh, talk about frustrating.  Oh well, nature will do as she pleases whether I like it or not.  Living in Utah though, (The Greatest Snow On Earth) state, you'd think we would get more.  The Tire Guy and I even have an industrial size snow blower.  Many more winters without much in the way of snow and they will need to change the motto of this state to The Greatest Slightly Warmish Slush On Earth, because that is what I walked in this morning....slush.  If I'd had my grape flavoring I could have had a homemade Slurpy.

And now onto other business.  Sundance is happening.  I believe it starts today.  I'm a wee bit jealous of anyone who has been or gets to go this year.  It's one of those big events that happens here in Utah and I've never been a part of it.  Waaaa!!!  Could I go?  I don't know, it feels like it would be akin to crashing a party.  I have no tickets.  I have no idea where I would go.  I have no friend to keep me company, or ooh and ahh with me when we spot a celebrity.  *sigh*  It's the kind of thing I wouldn't do alone....so, for you local people who are waaaaay cooler than I, let me just throw this out there....I would make an excellent companion for you at Sundance.  I clean up pretty good.  I would pay my own way.  I am funny and usually entertaining.  I don't eat much.  I've been told I resemble Liv Tyler.  I wouldn't gush too much over celebrities and I have a truck with four wheel drive, just in case the snow ever falls.

Give me a shout out if you want me to be part of your entourage, or walk behind you taking notes in order to make you look important.  Whatevs.  I have no pride, I just want to be part of the hoopla, known as Sundance Film Festival.  There, I've said my peace.

Now I have to go make breakfast for Little Man and be domestic.  Oh, the life of a goddess.

Make a nice day!
