Talking For Holly (and other Cali types)

You know you're in California when......

1. Your coworker has 8 body piercings and none are visible.

2. You make over $300,000 and still can't afford a house.

3. You take a bus and are shocked at two people carrying on a conversation in English.

4. Your child's 3rd-grade teacher has purple hair, a nose ring, and is named Breeze.

5. You can't remember...is pot illegal?

6. You've been to a baby shower that has two mothers and a sperm donor.

7. You have a very strong opinion about where your coffee beans are grown and can taste the difference between Sumatran and Ethiopian.

8. You know which restaurant serves the freshest arugula.

9. You can't remember.....is pot illegal?

10. A really great parking space can totally move you to tears.

11. A low speed police pursuit will interrupt ANY TV broadcast.

12. Gas costs $1.00 per gallon more than anywhere else in the
U.S.

13. A man gets on the bus in full leather regalia and crotchless chaps. You don't even notice.

14. Unlike back home, the guy at 8:30 am at Starbucks wearing the baseball cap and sunglasses who looks like George Clooney IS George Clooney.

15. Your car insurance costs as much as your house payment.

16. Your hairdresser is straight, your plumber is gay, the woman
who delivers your mail is into S&M, and your Mary Kay rep is a guy in drag.

17. You can't remember...is pot illegal?

18. It's barely sprinkling rain and there's a report on every news station about "STORM WATCH 2003."

19. You have to leave the big company meeting early because Billy Lanks himself is teaching the 4:00 PM Tae Bo class.

20. You pass an elementary school playground and the children are all busy with their cell phones or pagers.

21. It's barely sprinkling rain outside, so you leave for work an hour early to avoid all the weather-related accidents.

22. Hey!!!! Is Pot Illegal????

23. Both you AND your dog have therapists .

Too Funny!!! I was born and raised in Southern California and lived there until I moved to Wichita, KS about 9 years ago. My husband has lived all of his life in Wichita and it's amazing how differently we view things. I'm MUCH more open minded then he is!!! California is crazy, but soooooo fun!!!! I can't wait until November when we'll be going back for a visit!!

Dolphingirl,

I was raised in Garden Grove and used to work at Disneyland!! Such a small world. We moved to Corona and much of my family is still in that area.

Couln't everyone make one of these lists?

You know your in Nebraska when.......
1. You actually know someone who owns a tractor, a farm, and thinks overalls are daily wear.

2. The weatherman is never right.

3. You can see cornfields even when you drive in the city.

4. All the movies made here are depressing.

5. You make national news when someone hits someone else with a cattle prod.

I am sure there are more, but hey its 0735!

What my daddy always said about California ,"Its a granola bar, what isn't nuts is flakes" ;-)

Miss Chris

Chris, I'd take offensive to that if it weren't true!
