Who am I and Where did I go?

Okay so first my xanga is messed up.  Don't know whats wrong.  It just hit me one hour ago that this year is coming to an end.  I don't know why I didn't think about it sooner.  I got to reminising about everytime I had to move out the dorm for the summer and move back home.  Those were the sadest days.  I am really sad now.  I look back on this year and think who am I and where did that innocent country girl go that came to college bright eyed and bushy tailed.  I think I got some soul searching to do before the next school semester... or maybe some just getting back to my roots. Either way I can't help but hear Shinedown's lyric's "Save Me" belting through my head.... about how i look in the mirror and don't even see the same person that I was and where did go astray.  I have burned bridges and cursed names but where did it get me.... well besides some much needed respect it only got me back to me chillin' alone so much.  I suppose I should be more friendly.  I think I just need to talk to the Big Man up stairs he is the one with the answers.  Oh where did my time go .... where is my college life going... and oh the uncertainty the future holds.

I am a weather genious!

Okay so apparently my bad weather predictions were close...... I predicted monday for the first time that we would have bad weather within the next three days and sure nough it came a gulley washer last night.  Man, that was some good sleeping weather... and to think i haven't watched the news since it was suppose to snow.  Rock on! Maybe speech pathology is not my calling maybe Meteorology is.  Now, that would be fun.  I would be right in the hot seat of all the crazy weather activity.  After the thunder shower last night, I awoke thinking "Holy Crap Issabella (my hanging plant) is prob. Dead!!!" I was too afraid to look till after I got ready to leave to go to work cause I knew if she was on the ground all busted up I would be sad cause I just got it (her) Sunday.  I mean I plan on its demise not being so sudden and less tragic unlike the natural disaster that I thought had occured.  Thankfully, Issabella was hanging strong when I went out side.  Word!!  I know I sound crazy but we can't have pets so this is as close as I can get.  I am almost finished with my research project so that is totally rocking my face off.  Tonight, I get to go meet Jana, her momma, and jennifer at Olive Garden for dinner!  Watch out Hope girls on the loose!  As for this weekend, well its going to be mundane. I plan on doing lots of homework.  Thankfully, to aid in my homework doing, I will be house sitting so I won't have much else to do except sit there and do homework.  I can handle a mundane weekend because next weekend ( my ultimate birthday party part one at West End) is going to  be so darn crazy they might have to pull this dancing fool off the table.  Well maybe not that crazy... oh who am I kidding it could be that crazy and that fun and I would be A-Okay with it.  Anyways, much love to all yall and remember don't do anything I wouldn't do and if ya name it after me or Lucinda.

Tornados are coming!

Okay, I feel like we are going to have some rough weather here in the near future.  The basis of my fear is due to my knowledge of southern weather patterns and the high humidity we have had.  However, I try to usually incorporate the ole sailor saying of " Red clouds in the morn. sailors take warn, Red clouds as night sailor's delight."  Thus there were no red clouds (to my knowledge this morning) so we are not going to get any bad weather just yet.  Let's see, not much is new in my life.  I am just super stressed with the large projects and finals (some like next week) I have coming up.... but it will be okay because i just have to take a deep breath.  My mom and dad are being so nice about me being stressed.  They really can tell school this semester has taken its toll on me.  The Lord blessed me with great parents.  Alright I am outta here.... remember be watching the weather.

Later Taters,

I'm going to be hopping down the interstate

Well, yall Easter weekend is finally here.  Rock on!  that means I get to go home and go to my church back home.  I mean the display of Gawdy easter dresses with hats is just almost worth the trip.  However, we all know the real reason for being at church on Easter.  No, its not to see how many manly men you can get into pastel shirts.  Nah, its for Jesus and him dying for us.  Word, it rocks thats he did that for us.  I mean really who else would die for our sins.  Yeah, I don't see anybody lining up to do it or anyone without sin for that matter.  I am just mucho excited to see the family.  I know, I know!  I just saw them a month ago but that is way to long for me.  I will def. be psyched about seeing my grandparents and the new things my grandfather has found out in his pasture.  He is always finding little animals, like baby bunnies or birds to look after.  Gotta love the guy for loving nature.  The truck is packed, the cd's have been made, the sun shades are placed for easy access.  Just like Willie I will be on the road again.  I might even get to leave earlier tomorrow. Ole Lou is closing campus at three.  Thanks Lou baby!  So I am sure there will be some lovely country happenings to report back when I get back.  I will be seeing my friend Jana at her farm so ya know some kind of trouble will be brewed up.  Anyways, yall find ya eggs and eat the candy.

Southern Sayings

Okay ladies and gents I got a topic to talk about tonight.  Southern Sayings!  Yes, this is a topic that I am well versed in.  However, for the sake of discussion and just plain ole curiosity I wonder where these sayings came from.  Here are some just to start with:

Grinning like a crap eating possum.:  means ya gotta a  mucho grin and more than likely are up to no good, which in my book is something that is way cool to have b/c it keeps people guessing about ya.

Like a long tail cat in a room full of rockers:  means very nervous

Uglier than home-made sin:  it means not very desirable.

Crazier than a road lizard:  means well pretty much that they are just crazy folks

Okay so the above sayings had to come from somewhere and I am sure just like all catch phrases they just caught on.  But my question is where in the world did anyone see a crap eating possum while it was grinning.  I mean I know they have toothy little hisses and they eat crap but who thought to derive that from such small details.  My next question is what exactly is home-made sin.  One can guess that this sin is commited in the home but it makes it sounds like ya canned it like preserves ya make in the summer.  I mean could you imagine taking a basket to weclome new neighbors and telling them you include a jar of your prize winning home-made sin. HA HA HA!  Last, my father always says crazier than a road lizard.  What is a road lizard and how is it crazy.  I mean squirels yes are crazy gambling with their lifes everyday as they try to cross the road, but Lizards.... ya don't see much of them doing life risking stunts. 

So guys let me know if ya got some answers to my questions here.  Also, leave ya favorite southern saying!

Later,
