In my excitement to be on vacation and to come visit my in-laws, I completely forgot about the one part of Utah that I don’t like. Babies. They’re everywhere. Young moms and their various stages of pregnancy, or infants, or toddlers, or all of the above. I don’t begrudge them their children. For the most part, they’re well behaved and freaking adorable. It’s just hard for me to be immersed in crowds of women in their early 20′s who all have kids or are pregnant, while I’m 28 and not even close to being pregnant, no matter how much I want to be. It just sucks.

On a semi-happier note, I did find great deals at the outlet mall we went to. I came back with lots of sweaters and long sleeved t-shirts that should keep me comfortable in the ice bucket that is my office. The outlet mall here has much better deals than the one we have at home, so we always spend way too much money on new clothes the day after Thanksgiving. I even bought 2 scarf sets that come with matching hats and gloves. I won’t have much use for them in California, but they were cute and on sale. I mean, who needs a baby when you can buy yourself useless items of clothing, right?
