[Ghoulish Delight]

I'm disappointed that I didn't pay attention to the fact that HM has already gone down for the HMH overlay. I would have liked to given it one more ride before going to Paris. Not that every inch of that ride isn't indellibly imprinted in my mind, but still.

I simultaneously love and hate OC. I love the climate and the overall newness compared to LA. I hate the homginy and the lack of anything remotely intertesting to do. Oh, I also loving having a paying job that I'm good at to go to.

CP and I realized that we can never move to San Diego. Why? We'd torture ourselves. We'd torture ourselves by driving up to LA far too often to see our families. It would exhaust us, physically, mentally, and financially. But we know we'd do it. And it's not even out of guilt. Honestly, at that distance, neither of our families would put up a fight if we skipped out on things. We'd do it because we truly WANT to see them, and it'd kill us to miss birthdays and holidays. If there's any reasonable way for use to get to them, we would. And unfortunately, San Diego is just this side of "reasonable", enough that we'd talk ourselves into going on a regular basis, which would severly impact our quality of life. Lame, but true. We'd basically have to pick our poison. Either run ourselves ragged making the constant treks, or constatly feel like we're missing out on the family time we both enjoy. Bleh.

I now own the most pairs of shoes I've ever owned at once time.

Sears "Essentials": This is what the old K-Mart location near us has become since the buyout. Sears name, K-Mart look and feel, Sears prices (at least for shoes). Very odd store.
