It's here! The 5 Minutes For Mom 2010 Ultimate Blog Party is here. It's a chance to meet a lot of other moms, have fun, and maybe win some prizes too. So sit down, have a piece of frog cakeand some Texifornia Vulture Breath Chili and enjoy yourself!
INTRODUCTIONS
Let me introduce myself! I'm Gale. I was born in California but moved to Texas a little over 10 years ago. I started Texifornia when I was still reeling from homesickness and culture shock! It's mainly a place for Texans in California and Californians in Texas to laugh and share our experiences--but anyone is welcome, wherever you're from!

Hi My Name is Fiona - and I'm a Minnohomian - I think...... well, I could any combo of things - Minnesota or Michigan - but OK keeps sucking me back LOL! At least this time I brought my husband with.
ReplyDeleteIt is indeed culture shock (I live a little north but sometimes we are just a suburb of TX).
I'm popping in for the party. Newest follower. I'll be happy to read about your transition - I'm pretty sure it can take a lifetime. Misadventures Of Mom of 3
Love the blog name. I'm always saying that soon there will be so many people in Texas from California that we might as well call it Texifornia. ;)
ReplyDeleteStopping by to say HI for the UBP! Can't wait to read more of your blog. I'm sure it was quiet a culture shock going from CA to TX!
