Sweet Southern Drawl

This is kind of a random thing to talk about, but what can I say? It was on my mind and my mind can be pretty rando... Friday, as I was driving to work, the hilarious radio station was interviewing Eddie Montgomery of Montgomery Gentry, who was also hilarious. I just loved his thick accent and southern phrases. It was true entertainment as I was starting my day. I was literally laughing out loud in the car by myself. Imagine the strange looks I receive.You could tell that the DJs were getting a kick out of just listening to him too.

I received some various comments of my own southern drawl throughout the day. I 'hosted' an event at work, where people asked me where I was from (too bad I should say I am from here), and it happened again when a group of us went out that night. Some friends from school had come up, so being surrounded by people who have thicker accents than I do brings mine out a bit more I guess. I just hope I don't completely lose it being up here. (Apparently when we lived in Tennessee - and I was like 5 - I had the most country accent, but lost most of it when we moved to St. Louis. Then my lovely Kentucky friends brought it back out!) Silly as it sounds, I think that is a small part of who I am and I guess I don't want that to change...aka I don't want to turn into a notherner ;) So it is just nice to know, I still got it!
