The movers got here this morning and my stuff is being loaded on a truck to make its way to California. It all feels surreal. The last meals at all my favorite Nashville haunts, the lingering goodbyes, and the talk of a new job, a new life, in a faraway land.
Surreal.
As I try to make sense of it all, I keep thinking about the strange things that Californians say and wonder if someday soon these words and phrases will slip out of my mouth…
I am kind of sick of In-N-Out. Can we eat something else?
That earthquake was nothing. It was only a 5.2.
Be careful on the roads. It’s raining outside.
It’s freezing outside. {said in the winter when it hits 50}
It’s really hot and humid today. {said in the summer when it hits the upper 80s}
That wave was gnarly. {I am still not sure what gnarly means. And is it good or bad?}
What should we do this weekend? Go to Disneyland? LA? San Diego?
What other strange things have you heard Californians say?
