On the Jukebox: "Borrowed Angels" by Kristin Chenoweth
Mood: Rested
Quote: "Oh yeah, well this is my Father's kingdom."
Flair: Divine
We recently went to the Bountiful Temple. It was awesome to see how crowded it was. Afterwards we ran into Costco to pick up some supplies. It was Saturday morning and I was struck by the random observation that there is probably nowhere else besides "Zion" where you would encounter so many people in a bulk warehouse wearing suits and dresses - well at least not on Saturday.
Living in this area has really warped my perception of reality and randomness. I'm hesitant to look at the real world for fear of seeing some really scary stuff. I've been in the bubble for several years now. Sometimes it's akin to being a grasshopper among the ants. But the ants need grasshoppers so it's all good. I'll continue to be myself and be happy with my unique views. At least I know I'm not alone, I've found at least one kindred spirit. Here's a great article which is an excerpt from the book '"Thoughts of a Grasshopper" by Louise Plummer.

Where's the article? I wanted to read it! There are times when I think it would be fun to live in Utah (like when I'm trying to find Aubrey a modest dress), but then I get scared by my sarcasm and think I would just laugh and laugh! Thank you for sharing that reality with me!
Lame! When I look at my draft it shows the hyperlink is active but for some reason it won't show up. I've just pasted it into the text so now you'll have to copy and paste it into your browser. I've also pasted the link onto my facebook page. Definitely read the article - she's hilarious.
I think my sarcasm is what helps me cope with living here. I never wanted to live in Utardia but now I'm surprising comfortable.
