Not much else new to write about since I'm actually getting out two blogs this week......so I'll be sharing my list of Tennessee sayings that annoy me!

1. "Buggy" instead of "shopping cart"
After growing up in Arthur, home to many Amish families, imagine my confusion when first moving here! Upon arriving at Wal-mart I am asked if I need a buggy. Hmm....I'm wearing pants and make-up so I'm thinking I don't need the horse-drawn transportation. But they mean a "cart". Still confuses me

2. "whaddya lack" instead of "what else do you need"
With the accent it actually sounds like "what do you like". Well, I like lots of things! Led to some very confusing conversations.

3. "i'm fixin' to" instead of "i'm getting ready to"
This I hear several times daily....this phrase isn't actually that bad, just the extreme overuse of it sends me over the edge. "It's fixin' to rain", "I'm fixin' to leave", "He's fixin' to have a fit". The only time I feel the word "fixin" is appropriate is when it is followed by the word "dinner".

4. "a coon's age" instead of "a long time"
Don't ask, I don't even know what to do with that one.

...and finally, my favorite.......

5. "look at tv" instead of "watch tv"
Congrats, you've just made watching tv sound even more sedentary. At least using the word "watching" makes the experience sound somewhat interactive.

That's it! Peyton is sleeping very well in his own bed so I'm fixin' to go look at some tv. Hope you are all having a great night! Take care and God bless!
