If you've read my blog for a while you all know that I'm a little crazy about the whole ACCENT thing. Ok, I'm a snob about it. So what?! I totally admit it.
Now, before you go freaking out on me my, little southern sweeties...I'm sure your sweet sexy drawls are fabulous. Seriously. My realtor has the cutest little voice. It's just that I'm a west coast girl. My kids have grown up on the coast. They're not supposed to sound like they're little hillbillies. (once again..no offense. LOL)It's one thing to have a sweet drawl...it's another thing to sound like you don't know the first thing about the English language. So...here I go on my rant. Just know that Darlene...you're a hot sexy mama...I'm sure you sound delicious. :) LOL. I'm more concerned with some of what my daughter is coming home saying.
Hey Mommy...I'm Fixin' to go to bed! (FIXIN'!)
Y'all need to come up and see how clean the bonus room is! (Y'all)
My and I...(not with the eye at the end...but like Meh and Ieh.)
Mommy...I love the Titans...the Chargers just suck! (sacrilegious)
So there, a few examples that just bug the crap out of me. I know...I am a snob. However, I'm the book whore, the literature fiend, and the one who would rank my Chaucer class (yes a class only on Chaucer) as one of my top 3 courses in college. Kind of a nerd, I guess (cute though.)
To better understand my total and complete freak-out,let's reflect. My husband received orders to move to Georgia. King's Bay Georgia is deep in the south, as I discovered with a phone call from a potential realtor. His drawl was so thick...I had to listen to his message 3 time! LOL. Finally...I'm going to have to leave DR. Calm!!!!!!!!!! You've never met a cuter Chinese/American psychiatrist with a Nashville twang...ever! Thank Goodness for hot sexy mamma's like Darlene, who has offered up some hot F-me shoes if they fit. :)!!!!!!
Yes..I'm rambling. Thanks for indulging me, yet again.
Love,
Christie

Hmmm, My Grandparents are from GA and they always use to say "Chill'in" for children and I don't know about GA but when I lived in TX instead of saying that your going to put something away they say "Go put it up" At first I was like "ummm Put it up where?"
But GA has the BEST food EVER! I'd be a cow if I actually lived there. Fried Catfish, Fried Side Meat, Souther style Green Beans,Flat corn bread,... OMG, I could go on and on. When you see little shacks on the road that are resturants GO THERE!! They have the best yummy food!! Hmmm, maybe I will meet you for dinner one day! LOL
Hehehe hthis was a funny post. I can see you combating the "drawl."
Oh girl, ya'll are really in for it if your fixin to move to Georgia!!
I may live in Indianer, but I don't have an accent. I don't think anyhoo. :)
