For the few of you who have been blessed with hearing my southern drawl and thought, "Yep, that's about as southern as it gets for an accent!" I am about to prove you wrong. My cousin Jodi and her daughter Laken (see, Aradia is a perfectly normal name in my family) are coming down for a little visit from the backwoods of North Carolina. Let's just say, they have a very peculiar accent.
It hasn't rained here in forever (12 inch deficit!), but as soon as they finalize plans to "come a schwemmin" it's going to thunderstorm every day this week. I'm sure that's karma for all the bitch-shoe wearing moments I've had lately.
It's been a week (month... year?) for this big ol' mountain of crazy to spew her molten cuckoo all over everyone. Mount Aradia erupted, people went running in fear for their mortal souls, and now that the dust cloud is settling perhaps we can resume normalcy. At least as close to normalcy as we had before.
The 10 year reunion is coming up. I'm excited but dreading it too. I don't want to see one particular person there- after she started trying to break into my house, stalked me, and 'steal' Jef away from me, well it's just gonna be awkward. Plus, I'm not stoked about leaving Ava with my mom for that long. My dad will be there too, and Ava will most likely snooze off by 8... but it's just a long time away from peewee. I'm a creature of habit and routine, and change just rocks my boat to the point of nausea. But you'd probably guessed that about me by now!

I have a bit of a southern drawl too people say.. but I bet you would think I sound northern :)
I hope you had a nice weekend and by the way, I really like the name Laken! Cute!
I'll see your southern accent and raise with my west TX accent..we'll have a Hick-Off! : ) You can barely detect mine anymore since I've moved to Houston..unless i'm on the phone with my Mother or Sister. Sometimes I'll slip into my accent on purpose jut to see K cringe!
I don't think I have much of a country accent (born and raised in NC), but I do find that I put it on rather thick when I feel the need to put people at ease. Weird, huh? Good luck at the reunion...you're a better woman than I am!
East Texas, darlin'. That's all I'm saying.
