"I Left My Heart... In Van-couv-er-o..."

I miss my house. I miss Andy. I miss my job at Clark County Title.

I miss my mom and Lou, Monica and John Paul and all the kids.

I miss rainstorms and Starbucks on every other corner.

I miss making more money.

I miss Bridge City, Kevin Brussett and EVERYONE there.

I miss Tim and Jim and the opportunity to record music.

I miss throwing dinner parties.

I miss Karaoke with Bob and Chelsea and Jared and Ivan and Rachel.

I miss "the silent game" in the pool.

I miss the rest of my books.

I miss Mt. Hood, the Columbia River and the Oregon Coast.

You "just did it" when you moved to Florida...so "just do it" again...liquidate your furniture and get your tooshie back home! I know what it's like, though...I feel your pain...

And is your car dead-dead, as in, couldn't even be revived by a Catholic priest in a scary movie?

Marisa said...

Ah Reese, I understand completely. I have the same misses. I have had to be here now for 5 years, and it looks like I am permanently displaced. God I miss my home. I hate all these people. I hate the smog. I hate the brown everything. (Including all the houses!) I hate the fact that there is nowhere to go to have outdoor recreation. Okay, I lied a little, but walks through a bunch of rocks just doesn't seem right. I hate the fact that people say "oregone" like it has disappeared. I hate feeling like a turkey in an oven.

I miss my horses
I miss space
I miss green things
I miss good fresh food
I miss the coast
I miss my friends
I miss dinner parties
I miss BBQ's!
I miss beading with shan
I miss pack club
I miss riding with Becky
I miss good water
I miss good skiing
I miss good views
I miss green
I miss good beer
I miss marakesh
I miss fresh air
I miss crisp mornings
I miss my lake
I just miss.
