Shameless plug

So don't you hate it when you wake up in the morning and you look into the mirror and you freak out because you realize "oh my gosh I have become someone I swore I never would!" For me it began the day I purchased my first pair of Capri pants, then the day I dressed in themed colors for the holidays, and then the first day I drank a beer in public...what was my life coming to?!?!?! And now I am a blog slacker. I hate the slackers and now look at me....a slacker.

So this post is simply a ploy to convince my readers to come visit me in California. "Use me for my location"...that can be my byline..I'm totally cool with it. There are multiple obvious reasons to come from whatever state you may be in, but there are a couple of additional other reasons that you may be overlooking. In which case I feel the need to inform and basically make you want to spend every spare minute searching Orbitz, Expedia, Travelocity, Cheaptickets, etc. to puchase a ticket to come visit me!

Top 10 reasons to visit Dianne in California

#1 People watching at the airport is immediately entertaining.

#2 It's time to bust out N'SYNC's Chrirstmas CD. So we would jam to "Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays" in the mini van.....kinda like Nelly in the Cruiser.

#3 It is still "tank tops 4 life" weather so no sweaters or warming you extremities by the heater.

#4 Two words: Trader Joe's...bascially the coolest grocery store/market ever....it puts the Harris Teeter to shame.

#5 The self-esteem booster. Apparantly, our southern accent is just simply adorable. I don't get it but whatever.

#6 Best thrift store shopping on the planet.

#7 The Jelly Belly Factory is less than 30 miles away. We can eat the reject Jelly Floops till our tummies hurt!

#8 Find out if Chris really does exist...I swear I do have friends, but you gotta come out here to make sure they really aren't imaginary.

#9 Meet a real hippie, we thought Billie was close but no way.

#10 You get to secretly snicker inside everytime some says "no worries" or "right on" in everyday conversation.
