Hey, so here’s a thing: I live in California now. San Francisco, to be exact. However, please note that New Jersey remains the King of States at this time, and at all future times. My presence or lack thereof does not diminish its fundamental majesty.
I'm Michelle. This is my blog. I write about women and fatness, expound upon semi-coherent thoughts I have in the middle of the night, and offer tough love to those in whom I am disappointed; they are legion. I live in Italy, AKA the New Jersey of Europe.
King of States! 
Big change! How are you liking it?

That’s how I feel about New York. New York is my King! I’m in Pennsylvania now. PA sucks!

If New Jersey is King, what is California? Hope you like it. I spent 16 years in the east bay but the SF side is much cooler ( temperature wise).

Hey, so here’s a thing. You’ll notice California doesn’t have that “we’re the best!” thing. You’re welcome to locate all royalty and loyalty in Jersey. Most people here are transplants, and revel in finding those from their home. But even the locals (my family has lived in SF for 117 years, 6 generations) just aren’t into rivalry and hierarchy. Witness the sports fans. They’re nothing like the rest of the country. They follow when sportsballers win and all but ignore when they don’t. Live and let live, align where you will, welcome, and yay for your King of States.

Hmm. All the “Welcome to the Best Coast!” text messages I just got from my California-based family are now suspect.
(Also: New Jersey will always be one of my homes, but my defense of it is done with tongue firmly in cheek at all times.)

I think I’d be suspect of your family, but that’s my own baggage to live with.
Welcome to San Francisco! So glad you’re here!

In fairness, I am often suspect of my family.

Thanks for tolerating the malapropism. I’d be suspicious. And I suspect them.

Welcome to California. If I knew you were here, I would have driven down to get my Blogging 101 questions answered. Oh, I forgot! Driving (parking) in the “city” sucks. At least you won’t have to sleep in the airport for 30 Hrs for the runway to be cleared of snow. 🙂

Agreed. I also am a NJ native that has relocated to GA. Most of my family has relocated from NJ to the Southeast. They either pretend or really don’t understand my love for our home state.
