Where's Wavybrains?

When I was kid, I had this sick fetish for the game Where in the World is Carmen San Diego? I even liked the cheesy acapella group that sang the theme song.  I attribute my bug for exotic places and nomadic lifestyle solely to this show.  It's certainly not genetic--there are no world travelers in my family, and only a very, very few who have ever even taken a vacation that wasn't to see relatives.  So how I ended up with the soul of a nomad is beyond me.  Anyway, in the gray dreary days that are Oregon winters before our summer arrives, it's kind of nice to think about what it might be like to live elsewhere.  Because, I could do that, you know, live anywhere.  In my head of course relocating is as easy as watching Carmen San Diego scurry across a cartoon globe.  I tend to forget the extreme hassle of relocating to Oregon. 

Plus, as we all well know by now, I have a little tendency (just a small one) to think that the grass is always greener in someone else's life, in some other place.  So Clanna and I were discussing different places the family could all end up (part of my evil plot to lure them closer) when we found this amazing site:  http://www.findyourspot.com

This nifty little quiz helps you find the best places for you to live in the US--loads of fun for quiz junkies like me and Clanna.  But the funniest part--Freak, I, and Clanna all ended up with Oregon cities on our list! Not only that, but our current city was on both our lists and number four for me, with a nearby city as number one. 

Moral of the story--Sometimes you are in exactly the right place. 

So who else wants to fess up to where they'd like to live? Care to take the quiz and share your list?

I've lived in TX (Houston and Longview), OK (Stillwater), UT (several times - Salt Lake City area), MD (western), NM (Albuquerque), MT (Helena), MO (Jeff. City, Columbia, St. Louis), and CT (Greenwich). I've loved all of them.

If I could live anywhere, I'd probably still choose the northeast (NYC or New England)...with plenty of options for visiting California and Montana.
