I hear that fr...Gina--I wouldn't think of it. <br /><br />I hear that from so many resident Californians, and some blame it on the influx of tech workers. Their inflated salaries are what's driving the real estate market so high, according to them.<br /><br />That's a shame. Some gentrification is desirable, and it helps rejuvenate neighborhoods that might otherwise be lost to urban blight, but I don't think that's what is happening. More like urban stagnation, it seems to me.

Maybe because our housing is too expensive and we can't enjoy our lives because we are too busy trying to pay our rents/mortgages.Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11604097511444010759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15179498.post-10192211745485307002014-03-21T09:33:31.855-04:002014-03-21T09:33:31.855-04:00Shirley--Virginia is gorgeous in early spring, as ...Shirley--Virginia is gorgeous in early spring, as I remember from a couple of trips there. That alone can make one feel better. I'm still trying to avoid the doctor, but it's getting harder to do. <br /><br />If you sneak down one post, you'll see I gave you a mention. Hug The Boys At Home for me!<br /><br />Ally Bean--I know, right? And our state song is Beautiful Ohio. There are pockets of loveliness, to be sure, but when it comes to weather, our song should be Barbaric Ohio. <br /><br />Can't pass along any cheap stuff. I only buy good vodka. Three Olives is my favourite, and no flavours either.<br /><br />Ortizzle--If we can combine your two holidays and have captives propose to their alien abductors, now that is festive! I could get happy about that.<br /><br />I lost my will to prepare a dessert almost as soon as I finished typing my post. Today, however, is another day. I can try again. Rick loves an apple crisp/crumble, but alas, we have no apples. I have approximately eleventy hundred overripe bananas in my freezer, so perhaps something with those. I'm thinking a sour cream banana cake. But really, just thinking right now. <br /><br />emengee--does Hot Cookie have macarons? If not, then adapt your celebration to cookies in general. I can't think of a single place within a ten mile radius where I can get macarons around here. I'm not too upset; I like them, but I don't think they're crazy good, like some people. A bit overrated, I think, and just a trend. I'd rather have a good chocolate chip cooky or a terrific peanut butter one.<br /><br />Hope you're well. Say hi to everyone.

I took my last magical pill today, but it's supposed to keep working. Hope so as I still have symptoms. That four-letter "s" word you mentioned. :-( Hope you feel better soon and I do appreciate the reminder to be happy. I am happy this illness is mostly behind me, that I don't have to go anywhere unless I want to, that it's a warm sunny day here today and walking the dog only required a hoodie, that we got to see Son this past weekend and meet his girlfriend and much more.

Or better yet, pass me a shot of that vodka you've got going on there.<br /><br />Hope you feel better soon.

So... we've got lots to be happy about, lol. <br /><br />I'm putting my money on International Day of Happiness, however, as their is entirely enough grief and weirdness in the world, and I also have no one to propose to.<br /><br />Making one's significant other happy sounds like a great way to celebrate it, and I am going to steal your idea of dessert. Apple crumble, here we come.
