Mover and Shaker

I guess getting married isn't the only big change a comin'. I'm going to be a Jersey girl! Er, transplant anyway. One day in the very near future I'm going to wake up in a new home, in a new town, with a new name, and possibly find myself behind the wheel of a large automobile (with all weather tires). And I may ask myself, well, how did I get here? Like whoa. Thusly, I've compiled lists of things I will and will not miss and things I am and am not looking forward to because, well, I love lists, and because my sweetie left to pave the way last week and I have nothing to do in his absence except for things I am avoiding doing. So, here we go.

Things I will miss about California:

• my sister
• my family and friends
• the weather
  
• sunsets on the beach
• the ubiquitous avocado (Yes! I WOULD like to add it for $.50 extra.)
  
• Mexican restaurants on every corner
• Los Angeles
  
• the Hat
• U-turns

Things I will not miss about California:

• taxes
• traffic
• earthquakes
• foxtails
  
• neck tattoos
• maternity booty shorts

Things I am looking forward to in New Jersey:

• being with my sweetie again
  
• my sweetie's family
• full service gas stations
  
• leopard print extravaganza
• tomatoes and peaches
• snowy Christmases
• trips to NYC
• colonial houses with black shutters
  
• the possibility of running into Caroline Manzo
  

Things I am not looking forward to about New Jersey:

• packing. moving. unpacking. ugh.
  
• humidity
• shoveling snow
• 6 months of cold
  
• mosquitoes
• long plane rides home to visit

East coast, hear I come! I'm watching Good Will Hunting to gear up. I know it's the wrong state, but gawd, I love this movie and its Elliott Smith-a-thon soundtrack! Shexshy!

Wedding plans, I hope to see you again soon, but I've bigger fish to fry right now, such as finding a home and practicing giving the finger.
