Life is full of lists

Anyone who has ever moved knows that lists are crucial to success. I've gone a little overboard lately, with such an intense to do list that I literally had to schedule "take a shower" and "walk the dog" in between runs to the post office, salvation army, and the endlessssssssss packing. Now I find myself on the eve of moving day, with a million thoughts and feelings running through my mind. I don't feel insightful, nostalgic, happy, or sad - instead I feel EVERYTHING! And it's hard to sort through everything. Therefore, I am going to be super type-A and end my LA life with more lists.

on my last night in LA i feel:

- tired

- excited for a new chapter in life

- sad to leave a place i've grown to love

- stoked to see my dad tomorrow

- nervous about working at a new place

- excited to work at a new place

- like my arms and legs might fall off from lifting so much

- damn, this air mattress is uncomfortable

top 10 things i will miss about LA:

1. incredibly perfect sunny days

2. Venice skate park on the beach

3. the lingo - mellow out, narly, stoked, totally, super, rad - all very efficient adjectives

4. neon tank tops

5. food trucks!

6. millionaires who look like they're homeless but drive a Ferrari

7. Ferrari's

8. farmer's markets

9. Saturday bike rides along the beach

10. Sunday brunch, and the delicious morning cocktails that accompany this delightful meal.

1. traffic

2. lindsay lohan

3. traffic

4. the fact that running an errand takes 2 hours, no matter where you have to go
