I always wear socks. I either wear sneakers or boots, and I don’t wear flip-flops. By the way, I live in Arizona.

I’m a little late to the party, but I hope California has turned out okay for you. Been living here all my life and I can’t wait to escape.
I only wear socks with my motorcycle or combat boots, otherwise I’d end up with blisters everywhere. Never wear flipflops either, just converse, but I can’t stand to have socks anymore.

But did he mail it….?

For at least the first year I lived here in NC, it felt like a busy vacation. Everything was new, I still didn’t know anything, and it took a long time to settle in. Sometimes even now, two years as an NC resident, it doesn’t feel like I’m permanently here. Maybe that’s just part of growing up and moving elsewhere.

I feel exactly the same way. I have problems identifying with living in my hometown and working full-time. I honestly don’t feel like I really graduated last year and everything feels so temporary. Like you, I need to accept reality and put down some roots.

I want to say I’d love living in a place where it’s hot all the time, but I know it’s just because it’s winter here now and I’m c-c-c-c-cold!

Also, I totally had a crush on Arnold too.

Ha ha, I read the blog post title and went me either! But that’s only cuz it’s summer… Texas can get cold.

I’ve always wanted to go to California. Sounds lovely. Maybe one day..

I live in flip flops. It is a problem when people want to go bowling–I never have socks and have to scrounge around for a pair!

I love the How I Met Your Mother quote.

I’m so glad I found your blog and participated in the 20sw group. Thanks Ashley!

The only socks I’ve worn this summer are for work.

I feel the same about living in Louisiana. Until about a year ago I really thought I was moving back to MN. But when I decided I loved it to much I started going to more places, doing the touristy thing (even though I have lived here for almost 7 years now), and got to know the surrounding towns.

It will take time to really get to know a place, but it will be worth it in the end.

Oh, and I never wear socks either. I think I have worn one pair in about 2 months, because I went running.

I suck at vacation too. I’m a real homebody. I read, watch TV, blog, and play video games. I love to go out to eat, but I’m very picky about the things I DO eat, and I consider going grocery shopping a ‘day trip’.

My boyfriend is in the Army National Guard, and he wants to join the active Army when he gets home from Iraq. I don’t know where that’ll take us, but it scares me, the idea of moving away from my family (we’re wicked close, my dad and sister are two of my best friends in the universe). How did you do it?

Ha. I can completely relate to this post. Growing up in Texas, I really never wore socks. Then when I moved to NYC, I gradually incorporated them into my wardrobe, but only during the winter months. Now that I’m back in Texas I think I have about 3 pairs of socks to my name.

I may be biased (I am) but I think CA is extremely fantastic. If you would like recommendations on things to do, places to eat, or where to go for an awesome pedicure – just ask! I’m a Southern Californian at heart (26 years living here) and just recently a NorCal girl so I have plenty of “favorites” in the LA/Pasadena area!

I’ve never ever envisioned myself living in Cali. It doesn’t sound bad, but I think I would miss the seasons. I’m glad that you’ve chosen to put down roots. 7 years is a long time and its crazy that it requires less time to be a medical doctor!

I love me some Arnold.

A lot.

As a native Californian, I’ve always found it difficult to wear socks. Even when I lived in Chicago for five years, I’d take my shoes and socks off whenever I could. Last year, when I was pregnant, I developed a rare condition that made my whole body itch, but especially my feet and hands (sounds great right?) and I couldn’t stand having socks on my feet, even though it was winter. I must say, I haven’t gone back to socks since.

Aaah this makes me homesick (esp the pic)! I’m holding onto my california plates and liscence as long as I can! But yeah, I could be a medical doctor in less time than it takes to get a PhD in the biomedical sciences, too. Sigh.

California sounds beautiful to me. Husband never wants to go, and I’ve only been once (L.A.) … and it was raining that day.

I wear socks almost all the time (unless I decide to wear flip-flops). This week, it has been in the low 70s, which is completely odd for July. It was actually COLD this morning. So, socks have been a must. Bonus points for cute socks.
