Californication

So, in a quick turn of events, I'm back home in California for a while. I won't be heading South again for a few weeks, so my posts will be westward-oriented. 

I've only been here for three days, but I've already done so much! Sometimes I forget how big my home state is.

Mom and I went to the Ritz-Carlton in Half Moon Bay and pretended to be prospective guests.

Before that we ate oysters for my sister's 24th at Waterbar in San Francisco.

Then we came back to Fresno for fabric shopping and playing with doggies.

And now I'm blogging from this makeshift desk situation in the middle of my kitchen at home:

So that's the current update. I'm not such a Mississippi Maven at the moment. More posts/updates to come....

I love Oxford and love learning more things about Southern culture like I do here every day, but I am truly a Californian at heart. 

I don't know what it is, but lately I've been so sad to be away. Maybe it's just seeing so many of my friends having such a great time back home, but I miss so many things about my quirky home state:

The valley farmland.

Lovely San Francisco and its crazy fog.

Even superficial LA and all the smog.

Real tacos. With guacamole. Made from California avocados (which are the only kind I like).

Hippie communes. 

And mostly, home. 

Anyone want to treat me to a plane ticket??

And I'm Off!

Since I'll be doing some heavy traveling this weekend, I may be disappointing on the blogging front. I wish everyone a happy and safe Spring Break!!

And to my besties....see you tomorrow!! I can't WAIT!

Dear California,

I miss you.

xoxo

(Mississippi-- no offense.)

Homesick

All of this dreary Oxford weather is making me miss California....

...and the fam.
