The South vs. The North…er, uh the West

I thought you might enjoy the post that my sweet Southern friend Teresa at Livin’ the Wood Life recently posted about my desires to be a Southern girl. She made a point to rub my California nose in the fact that I have no chance whatsoever of being from the South, period.

As a born and bred California girl, there are a few myths that need to be broken:

For the record, I have never ridden a surfboard in my life.

I don’t know any movie stars.

I am not a size 2.

And…Arnold Schwarzenneger will always be the Terminator to me.

I do admit that this California girl needs me some soy milk with my Starbuck’s and enjoys a sweetened green tea every once in awhile. My favorite grocery store is Trader Joe’s where they have no preservatives in anything. I do try and keep my skin out of the sun and make it a point to exercise at least yearly.

Looks like I’m destined to be a Yankee no matter how hard I try.

Well Teresa, maybe I don’t want to be a part of your us four and no more, Southern girls club!

(Ok, but I admit, I do want to be invited to ALL of your gatherings where food is involved.)

Ok blog friends…am I the only wannabe Southern gal out here?

Anyone dare to admit they want to live in California…anyone….Bueller…Bueller?
