No, wait. What I really want is to move to Paris, pay exorbitant amounts of money for a shabby apartment, buy dinner fresh from the market every day, stroll in the gardens, write in the cafes. BUT NO WAIT. What I really want is to follow the sun, take my girls to the beach, write scripts, try to sell them.<br /><br />And also what I want is to stay here in Longmont, where it is cozy and safe."<br /><br />Hahaha Precisely!<br />Every once in a while my husband mentions how low the tax rates are in Florida and how lovely the weather is in the winter... when he does that, I kiss him and change the subject! The Mojave Desert, yes. I could take magnificent shots of the desertscape & slather fresh aloe on my face everyday. Orlando? Nevah!!! <br /><br />I came here via the lovely Periphery's blog & am glad I did... Enjoy that Mossimo blouse. & thanks for all the fish. :)Lori Gomezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05569806921410155798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6916416825093476865.post-63269955828008321502012-02-01T17:33:27.607-05:002012-02-01T17:33:27.607-05:00Oh my goodness!

When you left that comment on my blog (Thank you very much by the way, I passed your compliment on to my photographer, also know as my husband;) I thought you were kidding. But I come here to find out you were, in fact, NOT kidding at all!! <br /><br />I moved to LA in '86 and thought I'd live here a couple of years and then move to Miami Beach. I'm still here but I think I'm only just now getting used to the place. <br /><br />Good luck and if you ever do decide to move here, I'll buy you a cup of the best coffee in LA.<br /><br />Cheers!<br />J.jisabirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16958546495701205237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6916416825093476865.post-49776440081074393932012-01-28T00:12:40.630-05:002012-01-28T00:12:40.630-05:00I LOVE moving to a new city.

I've lived in Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Baltimore, LA, NYC and now I'm getting ready to stoke my wood burning stove in Nevada City.

And you have to move for the right reasons, etc. Now that we're in Austin, TX, I still miss parts of home (including Longmont - do we know each other?!), but am way happier than in the desert.<br /><br />The good news is, none of these moving decisions are permanent. You can always move again if it sucks too much.Margihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00380912871792176901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6916416825093476865.post-27222625151599351692012-01-27T01:30:08.889-05:002012-01-27T01:30:08.889-05:00My husband's a chef in LA and when he cooks fi...My husband's a chef in LA and when he cooks fish, our house doesn't smell like fish so maybe it's not the city but the fish or the cook? Just saying.<br /><br />I sort of hope you move to LA but what do I know?<br /><br />This might be the most ridiculous comment I've ever left, but there you go.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03313726816776097840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6916416825093476865.post-74074939341849225952012-01-26T16:42:17.799-05:002012-01-26T16:42:17.799-05:00Thanks, Nicole!

Downside, Kevin Costner. <br />It's ridiculous in the most delightful way. So much pannini. All major life decisions should be accompanied by stolen pannini and the consideration of Sam's Choice denim.

Maybe you can have all your dreams come true from in Longmont, or you can just wait there until you make enough money off your dreams to buy a gorgeous house in L.A. Or Paris. Or Taos. Or maybe you can just eat pannini's and not worry about it.Colleen Oakeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14548749077604704648noreply@blogger.com
