From the in-box

How many Californians does it take to screw in a light bulb? Californians don't screw in light bulbs; they screw in hot tubs

You know you're in California when...
1. Your co-worker has 20 body piercing and only four are visible.

2. You make over $250,000 a year and still can't afford a house.

3. You take a bus and are shocked at 2 people conversing 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 for the two mothers and 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 low speed pursuit will interrupt ANY TV broadcast.

11. Gas cost 50 cents per gallon more than anywhere else in the U.S.

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

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

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

15. 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.

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

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

18. You have to leave the big company meeting early because Billy Blanks himself is teaching the 4:00 PM TaeBo class.

19. You pass an elementary school playground and the children are all busy on their cell phones or checking their pagers.

20. It's sprinkling outside, so you leave for work an hour early.

21. Hey! IS Pot Illegal?

Oh! That is sooo unfair!

Okay, let’s give this a shot

1- Very likely
2- Or only a v.small house, million dollar and under
3- You don’t take the bus. You don’t walk in the streets. You drive your Hummer
4- Very likely
5- I’m pretty sure it is
6- -That’s pushing it, but I’ve been to the baby shower of a mother friend of mine who was carrying the child of her two (man) gay friends. The egg was provided by the sister of one of the guy, the sperm was provided by the other guy. She was just the womb but has since graduated to aunt status.
7- That is very true
8- Also true
9- Come to think of it, I’m not so sure
10- Absolutely true
11- Heyyyyy!
12- No bus, remember. But it is true that chaqun fait ce qu’y lui plait, comme dit la chanson. So refreshing compared to France were there are so many codes.
13- I! Saw! him! He was behind me at a convenience store. He was not wearing a baseball cap but a helmet. His motorcycle was parked next to my car. I’ve also come face to face with Cindy Crawford and even Pamela Lee (at a fair in Malibu). Will Smith’s kids used to go to one of my kids school as well as Kim Basinger’s daughter. I should write a blog about star sighting.
14- Not true in my case or it would be a hell of an expensive insurance.
15- Isn’t it true everywhere?
16- It isn’t but I don’t care
17- True, so true
18- Been there, done that.
19- Cell phones. Pagers are so out.
20- Doh! It gets slippery.
21- It’s completely illegal, I just looked it up.

P.S. Can you believe I cooked all day, it's 9pm and everyone is gone? Gone! This is California for ya. Gotta catch your beauty sleep.
