10 day forecast: Fog, fog and more fog

Some days the weather here makes me want to move to LA.  Well actually hell no because who would want to leave San Francisco, especially for LA but that is how much I can't stand the weather.  

Today's experience is the perfect example.  I was going out after work today so I thought hey I'll wear one of my cute dresses.  That was my first mistake.  The worst weather related incident involves flashing all of Union Square due to a nice gust of wind.  Not even a knee length (I know real hot) dress can keep from flying up when a gail force gust of wind comes knocking on its door.  I had to immediately end my cell conversation so I could walk down the street for probably a solid mile holding the sides of my dress down.  No only did the weather cause me to show my undies to the world, I was also forced to walk like a giant redheaded pigeon all the way down Sutter Street.  I'm sure the 10,000 tourists in my way were enjoying the view, at least I made someone's day.  And since I'm apparently pro-publishing my embarrassing moments I thought I would come clean and say this is not the first time I have had a dress-wind-flashing undies incident, I am quite prone to them actually.  The Bart is also a favorite flashing location of mine, that wind kicks up real nice when the trains roll in.

And this rant continues with my complaints about temperature...

I just want it to be warm and sunny.  There are three things I miss about Wisconsin:  being in college, the best friends a girl could ask for and the summer weather and that is in no particular order (sorry girls the constant fog is pushing summer weather to the top of my list).  Every afternoon I just watch that fog roll in and know that there will never be a day when I'm not dressed in a coat.  What is even worse is that in a few years I'll have to wear a hat, snow boots and socks to bed (again super sexy) when it's foggy because by then I will have shed my Wisconsin tolerance for cold weather.  So to those of you to the east of me, enjoy your summer weather and come winter look for a post where I'm gloating about not having to scrap off my car.  Well no, you'll still be gloating because I don't have a car and take the bus to work but you get the idea.
