Top 10 Things I Will NOT Miss About Maryland

COUNTDOWN 9 DAYS

Since I did the things I will miss about Maryland yesterday, I think it's only fair to balance that with the things I will not miss:

Top 10 Things I Will NOT Miss About Maryland

1) Ticks (One of the worst things I had to do while living here was to remove an engorged tick from my poor little dog--ICK!)

2) 495 (Traffic is NOT worse in LA.)

3) The perpetually drunk neighbor who thinks everyone wants to see him b-b-q on his deck with no shirt on. (Bleech!)

4) High humidity days.

5) Snow.

6) Marylanders driving in snow.

7) Seeing KKK meeting signs posted in rural areas. (CREEPY!)

8) The McDonogh Township HOA who stated that they pay for everything outside until something breaks or needs fixing and they amend the contract to no longer include these items. (Not joking--this happened with the roof, the siding, the driveway, and the gutter...in that order.)

9) Lack of any type of salad bar type restaurant. (There are no Soup Plantations, Sweet Tomatoes or Soup and Salad places out here.)

10) Bruised, sad-looking produce at the grocery store.

2) My Family
3) Blue Crabs! YUMMY!!!
4) the pottery studio

6) My gastroenterologist
7) the Annapolis Striders.

2) Mosquitos (I Itch so I may be a bit biased right now)
3) Tree Pollen (I better move some where with out it!)

I'll never move, but in case my kids move me (you know, when I'm elderly and can't feed myself), here's what I'll miss about MD:
1) Experiencing all 4 Seasons, 3 months each
2) Mountain biking on dirt
3) Vinyl siding and brick front houses
4) A finished basement
5) My family (except the kid(s) who move me)
6) Being within 1 hour of 4 states & Washington, DC
7) Rarely a tornado or a hurricane
8) Snow days!
9) Smell of freshly cut grass
10) Cycling the flat roads of the Eastern Shore and the rolling hills of Southern MD

What I won't miss:
1) MD crabs (never been a fan)
2) Hazy, hot & humid days = unhealthy air quality
3) Ocean City beaches - yuck!

Not much else. I must love it here!
