I AM a Southern Woman

Monday, June 1, 2009 10:17:08 PM

Southern women know bad manners when they see them:
~~~~~~Drinking straight out of a can
~~~~~~Not sending thank you notes
~~~~~~Velvet after February
~~~~~~White shoes before Easter or after Labor Day

Southern women appreciate their natural assets:
~~~~~~Dewy skin
~~~~~~A winning smile
~~~~~~That unforgettable drawl

Southern women know their manners:
~~~~~~"Yes, ma'am"
~~~~~~"Yes, sir"

Southern women have a distinct way with fond expressions:
~~~~~~"Y'all come back!"
~~~~~~"Well, bless your heart."
~~~~~~"Drop by when you can."
~~~~~~"How's your mama?"
~~~~~~"Love your hair."

Southern women know their summer weather report:
~~~~~~Hot
~~~~~~Hot
~~~~~~Hot

Southern women know the joys of June, July, and August:
~~~~~~Summer tans
~~~~~~Wide brimmed hats
~~~~~~Adorable sandals

Southern women know everybody's first name:
~~~~~~Honey
~~~~~~Darlin'
~~~~~~Sugah

Southern women know the movies that speak to their hearts:
~~~~~~Driving Miss Daisy
~~~~~~Steel Magnolias
~~~~~~Fried Green Tomatoes

Southern women know their religions:
~~~~~~Baptist
~~~~~~Methodist
~~~~~~Presbyterian
~~~~~~Football

Southern women know their country breakfasts:
~~~~~~Grits
~~~~~~Country ham
~~~~~~Mouth-watering, homemade biscuits

Southern women know their p's &q's:
~~~~~~"P"ecan pie (pronounced "puh con" not pee-can)
~~~~~~"P"ralines (pronounced "praw-leens" not "pray-leens")
~~~~~~"P"unch

Southern girls know the four deadly sins:
~~~~~~Bad hair
~~~~~~Bad manners
~~~~~~Bad blind dates
~~~~~~Bad Dancers

Southern girls know men may come and go, but girlfriends are fo'evah!
Look awaaaaay, Dixie!

Treadmill for flabby buttocks....Missing you dearly...........

God! "Cats head" biscuits, sausage gravy and grits! Try gettin' 'em in New York!

Now I make them myself.

I never called everyone "sir" or "maam" until I moved down here. It is just something that you find yourself doing all of a sudden.

If you make any Puh con pie, ship it on East.

Sarah Dreamsangel292005 # Tuesday, June 2, 2009 1:57:03 PM

D, try makin' low fat!

that is what I am faced with!

H82typ # Tuesday, June 2, 2009 2:14:16 PM

Shu'ley noht, Mizz Ma'am!

@ Pecan pie by 'express bus'

maddysman2003 # Tuesday, June 2, 2009 9:05:13 PM

bus, fed ex, whatever gets it here warm. I have made one attempt at pecan pie, but it didn't come out right.(more soup than pie) Guess I haven't lived in the south long enough yet.

Sarah Dreamsangel292005 # Tuesday, June 2, 2009 10:05:54 PM

I was thinking it would stay warm under the bus.

hehehe

Stay here for a bit Brian and you'll get tha hang of it yet!

I've had instant grits before. I realize that's probably a form of blasphemy to a southern woman...but I actually liked them quite a bit.

"Steel Magnolias" is one of my all time favorite movies.

I totally adore that movie. I've even been to the play of it.

Ummm...what exactly is "dewy skin"? When I read that, I think of greasy skin, but I'm sure that cannot be what it means.

Not sweaty.....dewy dah-ling.

KarenNerak # Wednesday, June 3, 2009 9:46:04 PM

Wet? Yeah...that happens to me sometimes. When I get worked up.

Do they not mean that skin?

I'm still confused.

Why would someone have dewy skin??? Because it's so humid?

Sounds gross to me...unless they're talking about that skin. Then it's not gross at all.

I thought southern girls just glowed? Bless your little heart.

Sarah Dreamsangel292005 # Friday, June 5, 2009 3:25:36 PM

Yes, because of the humidity. Where I am at, the humidity isn't TOO bad.

B, we glow too.

KarenNerak # Friday, June 5, 2009 4:43:11 PM

I'm assuming my question was too raunchy to answer.

Sorry. I need to learn this whole thinking before I speak thing. I've never mastered that art. Never even come close, actually.

starree # Saturday, June 6, 2009 1:00:07 PM

This is cute. I used the word ya'll a few times and it was like blasphemy to me. I do love going to the Kentucky Derby and dressing up in the hat and sandals with my friend (she lives in KY)

Just being in this area is the south and I still never had grits. My husband is a native so we make north/south jokes all the time (since I was raised in the North)

He jokes southerners like to fry things and blow sh*t up (fireworks) every chance they get! I joke, do you need me to talk slower southern boy, did you understand that?

NOT this Southerner. I draw the line at doing things that are bad for my health.

H82typ # Saturday, June 6, 2009 10:17:08 PM

So. You do like to blow things up.

KarenNerak # Sunday, June 7, 2009 1:50:21 AM

OH! The

's were for moi?

Thank you!

starree # Sunday, June 7, 2009 4:50:43 AM

yes I'm not letting him buy a deep fat frier, although he does fry green beans and corn

Sarah Dreamsangel292005 # Monday, June 8, 2009 4:03:14 PM

D, ONLY fireworks and an occasional toy of the kids that they leave laying around.

Karen, Of course!

Star, OMG! That is my pet peeve!!! I can't stand it when ppl fry veggies! HOLY CRAP I will go psycho about it. I have a friend that told me she was eating healthier and found a fried green bean recipe to add to her list...

It completely takes all nutritional value out of said vegetable.

Well anyway, to each their own. I have been starting to let go of a lot of worries like that. I feel like, if friends and family KNOW what is good for them, and they refuse to do it then they are going to have to pay for it in the long run.

starree # Tuesday, June 9, 2009 12:39:36 AM

I agree about the nutritional value, argh!

yes that is true, I told my husband if he doesn't calm down I'm not going to roll him through the door! He said that was mean to say (but he also is kinda watching how much bad stuff he eats too)

H82typ # Tuesday, June 9, 2009 3:33:45 PM

You could always start calling him,"Waddles".
>.<
