Moving several hundred miles from where you've always lived really forces you to get to know yourself a bit better -- especially when you've lived somewhere like Southern CA for almost 30 years. One of the things I figured out when I moved up here to Sacramento is that I'm a "suburban girl." Dave lived in downtown Sacramento and I lived in an older area of Sac which was far away from shopping, movies, etc. I hated it, but couldn't figure out why. Then I discovered Roseville, where we now live. I thought I'd died and gone to heaven! It looks very similar to OC and I can go to Trader Joe's, the mall, and Target within 15 minutes. And there is no OC traffic! I never would have realized the convenience was what I loved about OC until I left. I'm thinking about this because yesterday I was home sick and Dave called to tell me that the building next to Trader Joe's was on my fire. In my sick, delerious state I replied "We have to evacuate the Chloe." Don't ask, but I was really freaked about no TJs. The Roseville FD, however, contained the fire and only one building was lost. TJs, here I come!
