Portland bound?

[judecorp]

I randomly did a Google search tonight on cities with high per capitas of lesbians. Ithaca, NY was way up there (brrr), as was Oakland, CA (pricey) and Seattle. And then I realized that while I knew there were a bunch of lesbians in Portland, OR, I didn't really know anything about the city and the cost of living.

Wow - cheap houses!! Cheap CUTE houses!!

I am now on a mission to convince my Jennifer to move to Portland, so I can ship her off to work while I become a hip and trendy stay-at-home queer mama. What do you think about that?

Yes. It does.

But that means it snows less, right? And the average summer day is (supposedly) like 75 and breezy. I think I could seriously dig that.

Yeah, I don't think it snows much there, same as Seattle, but I've never been there. The cloud cover would depress me, tho.

jude-portland is not cheap. my sister-in-law lives there. my sis and BIL and new baby-to-be live in seattle. it does not rain nearly as much as everyone thinks. my 'rents lived there, too! it does get cold, and it CAN snow. cold, being, like, 50. how rough!

so why the heck don't you just move back to C-bus with me, momma?

Oh no! I am going to have to call you today to find out about Marlie!! :(

And I am a BIG FAN of "cold" being 50. :) We should all move to San Francisco and live with your brother!

Yeah. I've never lived in a really cloudy place, so I don't know how I would do with that.

You would do GOOD!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

You would COOK GOOD.

Well, yeah. I'm sad that you seem to have a lot of buyer's remorse about moving back to Boston, though.

Eh. I guess I just don't like change much, not in terms of stability. That's all. I suppose the idea of moving was such a great one because I knew Jen was so unhappy where we were, and didn't want to make any big future plans with me there because we weren't going to stay.

We just went into things a little blindly, I suppose, hopefully wishing everything would just fall into place with an audible click. It hasn't, and I'm not terribly keen on "starting over from broke" at 29 when I worked so hard getting out of that in my earlier 20s.

But everything is good, and everything will work out in some way, and life keeps us moving that way, I suppose. :)

I'm sure.
