Okay so many of you who thought you knew me were a little upset by the test (especially Jody). He called me a liar and said that I don't know myself! I didn't want to make the test too easy. Those of you who REALLY listen to me did pretty well and those who don't obviously didn't do as well. A lot of you said you had trouble picking between two answers. Clothes or Home Decor? Well I buy clothes even though I don't have a lot of money, I just find bargains. But if I had a lot of money I would probably by more. But I would love to buy furniture and things to decorate with. Another issue was between Parents and People. I love both magazines but if any of you paid attention to a previous post I did about an article in Parents you would have remembered how I went on and on about Parents. So sorry if I frustrated some of you but it was fun.
So life is back to normal again. Everyone is gone and the nasty fog has decided to unfortunately take hold on beautiful Humboldt County, making me want to move today! I decided that there are some wonderful, scary/weird, and not so good things about living here.
Wonderful:
* You can leave your home and know exactly how long it will take to get anywhere in town (no traffic) .
* You can get to the beach in 5 minutes. (though I rarely go!)
*It really is beautiful.
*I have a lot of friends from church and many who have kids my kids ages.
*My parents are 5 minutes away.
*Luzmila's Mexican Restaurant.
Scary/Weird:
*The hippies you see all over Arcata.
*PWT I see everywhere in Eureka (Poor White Trash).
*Pan Handlers that are creeping their way into McKinleyville.
*Tree Huggers (literally) !
* The price of homes especially compared to their quality.
Not So Good:
*Difficult to fly in and out of.
*FOG/DARK GLOOMY DAYS
*Weird people
*Not very good shopping or eating
*Not much of a job market
So there you have it folks, reasons while I will miss this place but will be so glad to move on. Let's just hope I will get that chance!

agree, agree, agree.. although I do enjoy a hippie from time to time. I"m glad my parents live there so I can visit, but i knew I'd move away.. since the time I was probably 14 or 15. But it's so nice that you guys lived there for awhile so your parents could be around the kids!!!
I've lived here for 30+ years and also agree. Although a beautiful, sunny day here is unlike any other. I, too, look forward to living in a bigger place someday. The hardest thing for me about living here is not having my children/granchildren around once you leave until we retire.
I must say I got the clothes/home decor one wrong. I was going between the two and chose clothes b/c you don't have a house and thought you wouldn't want to buy home decor for your apt. OKAY! I do know you! I totally got the magazine one right.
I love your reasons for loving/hating Humboldt. I'm right there with you. However, I do enjoy the shopping from time to time! I know...crazy. I guess I just enjoy the deals at the few stores available. One of my biggest complaints these days is accessibility. It takes so dang long to get home!
I'm pretty proud that I got 90% on the quiz. I think I am the leading person who actually KNOWS you. I guess that makes me your fave sister!
I heard today is a sunny day!!! (my bros told me). Enjoy it!!!
Dream on Linds!
yeah linds...what Kasey said. Who lived by here and kept her company all those years in Humboldt? Anyways...move to utah.
