Skinny Love


Last night was magical. It was a much needed escape with my lovely friends. Jack and I rode to Snowbird with Matt and Kristine after we met up at Lesley's house with everyone to carpool. I love living in the Avenues because you can walk anywhere! Jack and I had a lovely walk over together. Sounds like I am telling this story backwards...
So we went to The Cliffs at Snowbird. The spa was incredible- a steam room, sauna, hot tub and heated salt water pool greeted us. It rained and we were on the roof open to the elements- it was a nice contrast to be submerged in the warm water with the cool weather circling around us. We sipped on delicious herbal tea and talked about the small things and the big things dreams that are important to us. Everyone of us had a fun, relaxing time away. Away from everything.
After The Cliffs, we went to dinner at the Porcupine Pub & Grille in Cottonwoods Heights. Oktoberfest is going on right now so all of the staff have to wear these cute outfits including lederhos'n with suspenders! haha loves it! Dinner was good and visiting with everyone was even better. I noticed everyone got something different which was a feat considering there were about 15 people there to celebrate dear Lesley's big 2-9 B-day! I notice those kinds of details that most find insignificant/annoying/drab/etc. I hope I never get that way- where I start to not care about things that can/should/maybe interesting...

"Skinny Love"
by Bon Iver

Come on skinny love just last the year
Pour a little salt, we were never here
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer

I tell my love to wreck it all
Cut out all the ropes and let me fall
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Right in this moment this order's tall

I told you to be patient
I told you to be fine
And I told you to be balanced
And I told you to be kind

In the morning I'll be with you
But it will be a different kind
I'll be holding all the tickets
And you'll be owning all the fines

Come on skinny love what happened here
We suckled on the hope in lite brassieres
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Sullen load is full, so slow on the split

And I told you to be patient
And I told you to be fine
And I told you to be balanced
And I told you to be kind

And now all your love is wasted
And who the hell was I?
I'm breaking at the bridges
And at the end of all your lines

Who will love you?
Who will fight?
Who will fall far behind?
Ooh, ooh


Ps A physical + mental escape = a much needed amazingly good time
