homesick....

okay, so i have never actually lived in the oc for more than 10 days, but there is something about that stretch from newport to laguna that feels like home. i miss it. my heart even hurts a little when i think about it. i miss the smells, the sounds, the weather, the food, the ocean, the sand between my toes, the balboa ferry, the sun on my face, the bridge on goldenrod that leads to the beach, fashion island, the wedge, walking down the boardwalk with rollerbladers, bikers and runners, driving down the 101 with the windows down, the ridiculously fabulous people watching and their dogs that are better dressed than i will ever be, the list goes on and on. i miss it all and i almost booked a flight to get my fill on friday, but sensibility and frugality got the best of me. it is only a matter of time before i find myself in corona del mar eating breakfast with seth, summer and ryan....i know, i am sick, but that is a post of a different color.
