A Rant. a completely complaining post. In which I count NOT my blessings. At all.

This is a total whining post.

You have been forewarned. (in my defense, i don't think i've ever done one of these before.)

I WANT A CITY.

I WANT STORES.

Gunnison/centerfield, UT, our new residence is a small place. I could go on for awhile on the perks of said place. But as previously stated, I will only complain and be overly dramatic in this post.

I need stores. I have SO MANY projects i really want to work on to set up our house (oh yes, we have a house. more on that later. That would be discussing a blessing. But this is a strictly ranting post)

Paint, sewing, curtain rods, curtains, fabric, paper, etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.

BUT WE HAVE NO STORES.

I want a Joanns.

I want a Walmart/Home Depot close enough that its not a huge gas expenditure/weekend excursion to go there.

I want a costco. So i can buy wipes. and huge bags of chocolate chips. (oh wait. no i don't. because then I wouldn't be able to mooch such things off said awesome brother and wife when they come down to visit..)

whine whine whine.

But seriously, people.

A thrift store would be nice. Then I could make my cheap-purchase-awesome-transformation purchases there.

ALAS. here I sit. Wasting away. Searching every possible online store for things like bright pink fabric, night stands, lamps, ribbon, tissue paper, cardstock, etc. etc. etc.

AND I CANT BUY ANY OF IT. b/c I'm obnoxious like that. Surely there must be a better deal somewhere. Or, what if its not the right shade? Texture? etc. BECAUSE I CANT SEE IT IN PERSON. and because paying 4.95 shipping is lame. (and i could use the opportunity here to thank my lucky stars that my awesome brother has hooked us up with amazon prime, but that would be showing gratitude. AND AMAZON DOESN'T SELL EVERYTHING. Almost, but not quite.)

And so i do drastic things like using the power drill on home projects I'm mildly clueless about while Patrick is at work so that i feel like SOMETHING is getting done... (and no, this did not turn out well....)

grumble grumble grumble.

I even dreamed about contacting Joanns and signing a petition to get them to open a store out here.

Its that pathetic.

WHY DIDNT I PURCHASE ALL CRAFTING/HOME IMPROVEMENT ITEMS I WOULD EVER NEED EVER WHEN THEY WERE SO CLOSE! SO VERY VERY CLOSE!!! NOW THEY ARE ALL SO FAR AWAY! ( i felt this way after each kid was born- 'why didn't i run all the errands I would ever have to run before 'fillintheblank' was born?? It was so much EASIER then! How Naive I was!!')


Anyways. I hope you get my jist. And are full of sympathy. And want to bring me large batches of awesome fabric and cardstock and ikea items. Immediately.

And I've decided to write a memoir: So Many Ideas, So Much Time, Nowhere to Purchase.

But then I'll need a store to sell it in.
