Friday Poll

Do you wish you lived in another part of the country/world? Or do you like it just fine where you are?

I have lived in a lot of different parts of the country and I always find that I like where ever I end up. I don't wish that I lived in a different spot because I am not a huge fan of moving unless something makes me do it.

I wouldn't mind living in parts of the caribbean - but really it doesn't get better than living here in America. I don't care what anyone says this country is the best. Where can you find a country where you come here with nothing and end up with a lil something-something with a bit of hard work. This country ROCKS!

I love traveling to other countries, tho.

Okay now that was a mouthful wasn't it. You probably didn't need my rambling on - heheheh!

For universal health care... I wish I lived in Spain again. After 25 years of not having to worry about being able to afford excellent health care, I find the system here ridiculously expensive, (and no, I did not pay higher taxes there, if anything they were lower.), inefficient, etc., etc. If public education is a birthright, then public health should also be in that category.

For "mind set" and free-thinking I also really prefer Europe or at least another part of the U.S. that is not in the bible belt. But for the hispanic connection, I am better off here. Or possibly where you live, though the cost of living scares me a little, lol.

I have lived in the same area (within 30 miles) since I was born. I don't like change. BUT, in the right situation, I'd probably consider a change of scenery.

I've lived all over as well, but I love where I live now and can't imagine moving again.

Yes! Oh GOD, YEEES! I hate L.A. But aside from that, no matter where I live currently, I would rather live in Europe. More vacation days, better healthcare, more benefits to working parents, better schools ... PLUS. It. Is. EUROPE (prolly somewhere in the English Isles)...oh, I could go on and on ...

I love where I live now for a list of reasons a mile long. I love to travel, but home is best.

However, when kids are gone, there is another place that really calls to me where I plan to move when we retire (hubby can come with if he wants, lol) because for another list of reasons, that's where I want to finish my days.

After hearing about the care a friend received when she had her two kids in Switzerland, I would have liked to live there while pregnant. But mostly, unless a hurricane hits, I like where we are.

Our current location is okay, but I would rather live closer to family. We're here all by ourselves.

Gina (waving wildly) Hi!!! I'm sorry I haven't visited in a while. I took a blogging break and now I'm finally back, I think :) I am still trying to get through all my backlog of bloglines, but I'm getting there.

My new blog is public too so that is much better than having a private one. If you get a chance, check out my new blog:

On to your post. Well, I do like living where I do (in North Texas) but I think I would REALLY like to live near Colorado - or near the mountains. I hate really cold weather though, so I guess I would only like it in the summer! I would just love to live close to someplace like Glacier National Park (where we just went on vacation) so I could spend weekends hiking, traveling, taking pictures, etc. It seems like where I live, it takes a long time to get to anyplace "good"!

Have a great rest of the weekend.

In a way, both. I've been having a lot of weird feelings about this the last couple of weeks.

Onward

The end of the school year, finally! Did I tell you that my son went to public school this past year? Did I tell you that my daughter was in a regular Kinder classroom this year? Although it was nice to have them both in school, there were definitely things I was not so hip on, such as having to wake up at 5:20 every morning just to get everyone out the door on time.  And then after all the driving and dropping off, going to work. Such fun! I had forgotten the dreariness of having to complete mounds and mounds of homework (even though new research has shown that homework, especially for Kinder, is for shit).  Of constant deadlines and fundraisers and things I am supposed to volunteer for. My daughter had a good year, but was definitely not without its bumps. Her teacher, an older, highly experienced, practical woman with a Master's in Education, kept referring to my daughter as an "inclusion student."  It wasn't her name or just "student" but was...

D-A-N-G

As with all young children, for a very long time we parents rely on the old "spell the word out" trick for talking about things in front of them that we don't want them to know. Well, our time seems just about up. Hubba-hubba was trying to tell me about an upcoming event in which Santa would be making an appearance. As Mr. P is very much into Christmas this year, we knew that any mention of Santa would bring a long soliliquoy about how Santa is magic and how he makes the toys and how he has a list and on and on and on. And at that moment, we just didn't feel like hearing it. Don't judge people, don't judge. So, Hubba-hubba spelled out "S-A-N-T-A." "Hey, what did you just say?" said the five year old. "Nothing" lied replied his father. "I know what you said, Daddy! You said Santa!" Anybody know a place that sells semaphore flags?

Blown Away

That is a fitting name for this post, as the winds outside our house right now are blowing at speeds that have been clocked at 85 mph, which is technically hurricane-force. The wind truly sounds like a freight train. I have never experienced such a ferocious wind storm, and we get them every year around this time. Oy. If you've checked the news, you've heard about the Malibu fire, but seriously, when doesn't Malibu burn? Every frickin year they have a fire, it just goes with the territory of being remote and having heavy brush, combined with no irrigation and a canyon. It's just a volatile mix. Meanwhile, in the very canyon in which my house is located (the Fremont Canyon) we are in the thick of those winds clocked at hurricane speed, and it is just crazy, people. There are trees being uprooted everywhere, as well as something that just hit my roof. I'm not kidding. We have seen at least two transformers blow out, kind of pretty, actually that huge blue glow ...
