"and were going... to San Francisco"

I want to live here....out of all the places I have traveled so far.... my heart is still set on living in San Francisco.

I don't think it has officially hit me yet that I am back home. When strangers talk to me I still feel surprised that they are speaking English. I'm in shock at how nice people are in the Bay Area. They smile at you for no apparent reason. They come up and talk to you, compliment your dog, tell you their life story. The weather has been unreal since I've been home. It's averaged 70 (f*) and its mid January. Where am I? Since my return I have thoroughly enjoyed ice cubes, fresh bread, a dryer, my daily dose of hugs, eavesdropping, cold water with no salt in it and a few other random things. I finally had my first Jamba Juice and In N'Out Burger.. the only foods that I craved abroad.

The one thing that has set in is the reality check that fantasy land and play time are over. It is time for me to get a 'big person' job and to move out on my own, meet my husband, make babies, grow some grey hair... ( haha only kidding about the last group of items)... im going to stay young forever. So, if you have any ideas of what I should be when I "grow up" or know anyone in the marketing, advertising, entertainment business... send them my name and hook a sister up!
