You KNOW autumn is everyone&#8217;s favorite season. Don&#8217;t give me that look. You know exactly what you&#8217;re doing. You like making me crazy, don&#8217;t you? Last winter nearly killed me what with the pregs and the toddler and ALL THE FUCKING SNOW but I thought, hey, this coming winter is supposed to be mild! Surely this godforsaken state can give me a goddamn break just ONCE in the weather department. But no. You&#8217;ve made your position plain. There will be no breaks. There will only be cold. And snow. And freezing winds. And chilling damp. You don&#8217;t want me to live here, do you? I&#8217;m getting your message, loud and clear: MOVE SOMEWHERE ELSE, BITCH. Well, you know what? Right about now, nothing would make me happier, but financial reasons prevent me from making it so. Also, I happen to have a lot of wonderful friends and family members here and a great moms-network and ties to the local theatre community and I will move on MY OWN TIME, not yours, you stupid arctic tundra of a has-been territory. So knock it the fuck off, or so help me, I will CUT YOU.<\/p>\n<p>Sincerely yours,<br \/>The Squab<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Minnesota,<\/p>\n<p>WTF, Minnesota?
