My husband and I have been in Georgia now for about two months. I truly have been enjoying it. It’s a bit warm for my likings, but other than that it’s great. I have noticed a few amusing differences between living here and in California, so I thought I would share them with you.
You know you’re not from the south when you…
- realize the word hi might actually have three syllables
- have no idea what grits are
- don’t know that the word buggy actually means shopping cart
- wonder why it’s ninety degrees in march and people are wearing sweatshirts
- didn’t realized that there is enough pollen to coat every single thing outside! (I’m not exaggerating).
-have never seen a cockroach before… there are flying ones by the way
- are amazed at how many sentences the word ya’ll can be used in
- think it’s odd people are calling you ma’am at nineteen
- can’t imagine eating catfish or grouper
About Me
- Vanessa Ann
- You can take the girl out of California, but you can’t take the California out of the girl. I’ve been around quite a bit these past few years ( I mean that geographically of course) We have settled down (at least for the time being) in Portland. It's great except for the fact it's missing a beach! I work for Starbucks... it keeps things interesting. I would love to have my own business someday selling my creations. That's what I'm working on at the moment.

hehe...that's funny! It's a whole different world over yonder :)
(there are cockroaches in CA though, ask Mark about some of the old beach houses in Hermosa)
