Good morning! I have GOT to learn how to get to sleep earlier. I was fighting my alarm clock something fierce this morning. Not even a hungry kitten knocking everything off of my nightstand got me out of bed.
No time for breakfast at home. I literally threw my peanut butter and bagels in a bag and brought them with me to work! Luckily we have a coffee maker here so I could still brew up some java.
My view!

So I was getting dressed this morning and started thinking about how life might be different when we move to Connecticut. I have been faux southerner for over three years and have definitely adopted certain southern customs that I absolutely love and adore. So here are some questions I have about the north ...
1. Can I still wear my cowboy boots?
2. Is Rotel sold at the grocery store?
3. Is there a decent country music station? (This question may only apply to those in NW Connecticut.)
4. Would it be okay if I dressed up for a sporting event? (Please please please say yes!)
5. Am I allowed to address a group of people as 'y'all' or would that be weird?
Please advise.
Love,
An Accidental Southern Belle

Here's what I can tell you (being a true Yank)
ReplyDelete1. I would say that this is acceptable. Cowboy boots are a fashionable item now.
2. Yes, oh yes. I love me some Jenn William's queso so this is how I know. However, it may take some tricky searching. But it's there.
3. I can't speak for CT but PA has some great country stations (it's one of my only stations in my car)
4. I don't know. Because I am rarely at a sporting event.
5. WHY NOT!?
Hope this is helpful!
From a Southern boy of 54 years now:
ReplyDelete1. Hell yeah, you can wear those cowboy boots!
2. Google the company and find out their retailers up in CT. if not, I can send you some CARE packages now and then...
3. When the AM/FM fail, you can always Pandora (Miller turn me onto them)
4. If there is a WADT, then surely you can dress up with a dress or other nice clothes at said sporting event...
5. See #1 for "Hell Yeah" reference...
And as for your reference for an "Accidental Southern Belle," I will fall back on my Wesleyan seminary knowledge and say that you ARE A SOUTHERN BELLE by the grace of God!!!
A big YES to numbers 1, 2,4,and 5. (Sometimes I say "y'all, and I have NEVER lived in the south.)
ReplyDeleteYou're moving to CT? I'm from there :) Not sure where you are moving specifically. I lived in Fairfield county, southern CT. Let me know if I can help with any advice! And I too, really need to get to bed earlier! I can't get up in the morning lately!
