Wonder what the boys look like in Knoxville
I read Parade magazine in the Sunday paper this morning. The feature story was all about where people live and how much $100,000 will buy you in different cities. Upon reading it, I’ve decided I’m either moving to Nashville or Austin. You should have seen the house $98,000 can buy in Austin! And even though it’s in Texas, I hear it’s pretty cool.

Now before Joe and my mother both have heart attacks, let me mention that I’ve never been to Austin, and I have no plans to see Nashville anytime soon. But man, it was depressing as hell to think about how long it’s going to be before I can buy a house in Seattle.
Plus, I think I’ve met and/or dated all the guys in Seattle. I think a new city with boys who are a little bit country sounds like a pretty good idea right now.

The guys in Austin suck and you shouldn’t move. 🙂

[…] Regular readers of this blog (or anyone who read last Sunday’s post) know that I am currently obsessed with the South. I want to live there so bad, I start drawling and spouting y’alls just thinkin’ ’bout it. This craze has several origins: an ex from North Cakalaki, a formative summer in high school when I visted Texas, my sister-in-law’s Tennessee-born mother whom I adore, Kings of Leon, and my recent finding that houses are dirt cheap down there. I think I’d be a great Southerner: I’ve got the accent down pat (I’m not sure which regional dialect I’ve mastered, does it matter?), I love sweet tea, and I pass out really easily in the heat, with or without a corset.
