Things I hate

Today, as I was out and about running errands, I realized two things:

1.  I hate traffic.  If I can get myself and Sophie ready in the morning soon enough, I really love to be running errands around 9 or 9:30.  The traffic isn't nearly as bad then (for Salt Lake).  But by the time you get to 10:30, the lunch traffic is already out and it never stops until late at night.  I hate it.  I grew up in the boonies where the only traffic you saw was usually somebody in a tractor.  The nearest town had one stoplight.  And I refused to drive until I was 17, so it's not my favorite thing anyway.  Traffic:  bad.  No traffic:  not gonna happen here, but I would really love it to happen.

2.  I hate wind.  No surprise here.  I've hated wind my whole life.  One problem:  I love long hair.  Two problem:  a year and a half ago I got bangs cut and I have been growing them out for over a year now and they still don't pull back into my ponytail.  So I've got hair in my face constantly.  I hate it.  If I could somehow figure out the least windy city in Utah (or maybe the U.S......I'm pretty sure I could be persuaded) I would move there in a heartbeat.  I just hate it.  When it blows stuff in my eyes, when my hair is whipping around my head and I can't see, when it blows stuff around that should stay put.......I just HATE it.  I hate it so much I could scream.  Dave makes fun of me because I say I love West Jordan.....known to be a very windy city.  I know, I'm a walking contradiction.

Okay, that's really all I wanted to say.  I'll leave you with something I love.  I saw this on a blog today and had to pin it.  I'm not usually a zebra rug type of person, but I really love this room.

I agree, Brooke! Traffic is awful! I'm not sure I could be pursuaded to live in a large city. I don't even like driving through them very much. I only do it when I really have to.
Wind is an annoyance for me because of my hair mostly. I just had a day recently where I was cursing the wind for constantly blowing my hair in my face so I couldn't see. It's so annoying! I see women with cute, short haircuts and I wish sometimes mine was like that. I'm just not brave enough to try yet. I guess we both just deal with it for now. Maybe you should google "least windy US location" or something...
