Well, I guess there really isn't too much behind my blog name. I am not so great at naming things so I usually go with my first instinct (could be scary if I ever have kids huh?!). I had spent about a year in Cali when I decided to start my blog and moving out here was kinda a dream so why not take from The Carpenters (who I also love and remind me of my mom) and name my blog "California Dreamin'"
Sometimes it still baffles me that I live in San Francisco, CA. My whole family (minus my big brother) live in Midwest so to be so far away and in California of all places just seems surreal sometimes. Let me tell you folks though, California is not all like the movies. Its cold here! Its rainy, the Ocean is COLD not worthy of being in (specially up in Nor Cal) and you pretty much have to be rich to have run ins with the stars! :) But on the flip side, I love how people have dreams and follow them, but don't work at a frantic non-stop pace, but really take some time to enjoy life. I have learned to not move so fast all the time and really appreciate life around me. Not that that always works, because lets face it, once a midwest girl, always a midwest girl, but the ability to really "chill out" is great and California is my Dream for right now. Who knows what the future will bring, but for now, its fitting!
I'm waiting for Day 3! =) *hint* check mine out, i think you'll like it!
ReplyDeleteSorry to burst your bubble...but I think California Dreamin was the Mamas and the Papas. But glad you were thinking of me!! I love you!
ReplyDeleteMom, I have California Dreamin on both a Carpenters an Mamas and the Papas albums (yes I have both artist on my ipod, I am super awesome!) but I listen to The Carpenters California Dreamin more so I relate them to the song, and I don't think of you as much when I listen to the Mamas and the papas. :)
