I started thinking about all of the southern delicacies that I am going to miss
in California, like:
bojangles.
and finding texas pete hot sauce on the grocery store shelf
and the ability to order sweet tea in restaurants
and fried okra
and eastern north carolina barbeque
but don't you worry about me.
because i've got plenty of new delicious places to discover.
that city has some of the best restaurants in the country.
and fresh crab and fish!
and the most amazing indian and chinese food.
I'll just have to do what my brother does and have mama
ship a gallon of texas pete out to us
and on a completely unrelated note...
guess what we're getting.
woohoo. watch out. Melissa on a scooter is going to be interesting.
Pretty darn cute isn't it?
don't tell Brent I called it cute. I've had to call it "vintage inspired" in order to convince him that this is the kind of scooter we need.
In NC, if you drive a scooter, it means you got a DUI
In CA, if you drive a scooter, it means you understand the absurdity of gas prices and the non existence of parking in the city.
I haven't been this excited over a two wheel vehicle since my friend Ashley got a sweet moped for Christmas when we were 10.

too cute! I have secretly been eyeing this beautiful Vespa that sits outside a restaurant on King street...It's pale green and has caramel toned seats....Every time we walk by I say "man, that would be so cool to have!"
But, like you said, I don't want to be the "girl who must have gotten a DUI" backing up highway traffic. (haha just got a mental picture)
Be sure to get a basket and helmet for Gibson to complete the package!
P.S
Promise to let me take a spin when I visit! hahaha
ok, don't know why I am a very unhappy renter....Don't do much blogging, this is new to me :)
Melissa,
You are quite honestly one of the most darling people to have ever walked this earth. Your stories inspire me, make me laugh, validate my thoughts and feelings and remind me to lean over life's handlebars and let the wind dance through my hair. I'm tickled down to my toes that we know each other.

melissa,
too funny! i've always had an obsession with vespas. i did my college advertising projects on them circa '03 (see three ads at the top of this link) - and ignore the rest of the lame website!

just picture yourself one of these chic ladies and that i promise that DUI perception will be gone forever! i've been trying to think of an excuse to get one for years...lucky you!
Hey Melissa,
I'm with Abigail, I completely adore your stories as well and the fact that you always have something nice to say about someone. If you want some BBQ, we can always do what my dad does with his cousin who lives out in Cali, put it in a styrofoam cooler and ship it overnight =), could probably do the same thing with Sweet Tea. But you should definitely check out Carolina Oink Express, they ship BBQ and all the fixins including Hush Puppies, which probably includes Fried Okra too!
