West Coast





There are things about the west coast that cause my head to spin.  There is traffic, there are hills, there are hippies.  Just lots of things.  I feel like I should be wearing fringed boots.  
For example, "Sweet Home Alabama" came on the radio today.  It felt wrong, wrong, wrong.  California music would consist of some Emo or maybe some Lady Gaga.  Now when "Sweet Home Alabama" came on in Mississippi I thought "Yes, this is the sound of the south".  
I went to a mall today in "Fashion Valley"-that's right, they've named a valley after fashion- that had the following stores: Hermes, Gucci, Armani, Tiffany's, Jimmy Choo, Henry Bendel, Kate Spade...  I felt like people might be looking at me weird b/c my sunglasses were not large and circular enough.  You wanna see some big old praying mantis sun glasses?  Welcome to Cali.  
Other things are weird about California too(hence my facial expression).  Besides the fact that the government is imploding and there was a brushfire in the median strip.  (The air is very dry here) Did you know that the speed limit is like always 75 on the highway, but driving a Yukon at such a high speed?  Let's just say it's dangerous.  Also, people will beep at you.  For no reason.  Literally.  People just beep here.  
However, I am certain I can live in this great state because they have a J. Crew Factory Outlet.  And what else does a girl need to be happy?  
I'll be watching the "Rachel Zoe Project" to prepare myself for my move.  I think her vapidity will be beneficial to soak in.
I'll leave you with a little taste of the Navy life.  Nick had to read a chart and do... something navy esque with it.  That something made him unhappy.  Ha ha.


Love from the West Coast!
