Thunderstorms

There are thunderstorms right now in London as I type this in sunny San Diego. And I am depressed. Some say weather can really effect your attitude, but for me it isn't the sun that gets me giddy, it's the rain (you know... real weather). I miss London so much right now. Here it is Good Friday, Easter weekend and I would rather be alone in London with Emma and Donald than stuck in suburban HELL. Our car has been on the fritz lately which means I have been stuck at home for 2 weeks(this would never happen in London because you can walk everywhere or there is a ton of options for public transport). All there is for Emma and I to do is walk around the neighborhood which is really boring and lame! The closest shops are an hours walk away and even then its not much to get excited about or waste an hour walking to. I know I am sick of it, I spend my time daydreaming of walking through Hyde Park, visiting the V&A, strolling past Buckingham Place, shopping on Bond St. I read that Banana Republic just opened their doors in London! It was the one store I wanted London to have while I lived there and now that I am gone its there. I want to go back so bad. Donald and I had made a pack about a year ago that we would go back or be back or be purchasing our tickets to go back by June 1st of this year. Now we are looking to purchase a family wagon, YUCK! to replace the car that is currently braking down on us. My best hope for this year is to get out of this horrible suburban hell for a more city life in San Diego, but that is completely relying on Donald getting a job downtown. So for now with no certain hope for something really better I am stuck in my daydreams wishing I was in London watching the rain poor down tonight with it's wonderful thunderstorm.
