Still not sure what ~~ma to ask for.
Big fat moving allowance ~ma?
Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

Spike's Bitches 28: For the Safety of Puppies...and Christmas!
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I haven't been this excited about a prospect since, well, a long time. Since I got pregnant. We're not as happy here as we once were. LA is slowly getting to us. We're basically hermits. We don't go anywhere unless it's an occasion. We don't take advantage of the great things LA has to offer. Now, some of that is being the parents of a small child. But a lot of it not wanting to deal with the city. I love city. Can't get enough city. But dammit, I need the suburbs. And not LA suburbs. Suburbs, suburbs. It's where I was raised, it's what I know. I need people who smile back at me as they walk past.

Heh. Good luck with that in Philadelphia.

That's wonderful. I hope everything falls into place for the move, or you discover a good reason (an exciting one that's not necessarily pregnancy!) to stay.

I think I'll find it in the suburbs.

Well, your smile is particularly dazzling, but they're going to be a tough nut to crack.

Yeah, I saw that Springsteen video too...
Aims, its a lovely little city. A person could buy a house there.

I think that the conjunction of her smile and Em's cutieheadness would crack any nut in the neighborhood.

Punishingly Intricate
You would be, after all, moving to a place with lots of winter
er not so much with the whole global warming thing. And, we are talking about MICHIGAN natives here, right? Philly winter I'm thinking won't phase them much at all.
and way too many Eagles and Phillies fans (the meanest fans in all of sports).
HEY! Some of my relatives and closest friends are Philadelphia sports fans (because I grew up 1/2 an hour away in Wilm. DE) and they are totally nice people!
I need people who smile back at me as they walk past.
Baltimore (in the city itself not in the surrounding 'burbs), BY FAR, is the place this has happened to me the most in all the places I've lived (suburban DE, Boston, SF, small city NC).
Aimée, I'm excited you have something to be excited about! Whatever your ultimate decision is, it's nice to know you're not stuck where you are.
My main experiene with Philly was going to punk rock shows and to hang on South Street in the 80s. And to the museums when I was in school and now when my nieces come to visit. Philly has ROCKING museums!
