I'm with you. So many things to miss and yet so many things I'm glad I left behind. But I still have a soft spot in my heart for Cali.

Ladies, suburban life has made us soft! Ok, that's what I thought the other day when I watched someone parallel park uphill and I wondered if I could still parallel park...in a teeny tiny space...in a 2 hr zone, so I could go see the doctor, hopefully for less than 2 hrs, because the parking lot cost $10.80/hr! (Granted this was 4 years ago. I'm sure prices have gone up.) ;)
