I
read something like this on someone elses blog last week and cannot remember
WHO it was! So whoever posted this first....if you read this (or you know WHO
it was) leave a link in the comments and I’ll update this post to highlight
your loveliness!
I
wrote in Cheers to the Americans about my profound revelation that I’ll always
be American. There are a few other things that will always be about me!
1. I’ll always be that
girl who rocks out to country music! I don’t care if it isn’t extremely popular
here....I love country and always will!
2. I’ll always put
hamburgers on a fire! I’m sorry I’m not sorry about this. It is frackin’
delish....that is all!
3. I’ll always speak
English! Yep, I speak English with a capital E and am proud of it! I will teach
it to my children and I will always hold it as my first language.
4. I’ll always speak
Afrikaans with an accent! I may be teased or giggled at. People may say they
find it cute or interesting. But I will always speak it with an accent and I’m
okay with that. Heck....at least I speak it!
5. I’ll always make
sweet tea! Hubby loves sweet tea and my friends that have tried it...they do
too. C requests that I make it for her. She claims hers just doesn’t taste as
good!
6. I’ll always love
fried food! I know it isn’t the most healthy thing but it is what it is. For
me....it’s part of what I knew as America!
7. I’ll always love Jack
Daniels! Hubby thinks it is disgusting....he is wrong. WRONG! Jack
Daniels....it’s American! (I think Southern Comfort ranks right up there too!)
8. I’ll always prefer
filter coffee! I know instant is the thing here and don’t get me wrong....it’s
darn good. But there is nothing like “Folgers in your cup!”
9. I’ll always wish I
saw lemonade stands on the sides of the road in summer! It isn’t done
here....but there is something so absolutely adorable about kids selling
lemonade!
10. I’ll always love
American muscle! Say what you want about a Ford....but it is American built and
I love it! I’ll always love it and you aren’t going to convince me otherwise.
11. I’ll always say
‘yall’ because it is a perfect word. I love words that mush together.
12. I’ll always be that
girl who likes cut up denims. I know they aren’t considered proper for a mom in
these parts of the world....but I LOVE them!
13. And cowboy boots! If
I had a pair now...I’d probably wear them constantly!
14. I’ll always be a
jeans and t-shirt kind of girl. I love to dress up.....but I love me some jeans
and a t-shirt....or white tank top. It is classy, comfortable and adorable!
15. I’ll always chew my
nails. It isn’t Nice....but it’s how I deal....get over it!
16. I will ALWAYS be
loud! People here say it’s cuz I’m American....I know a lot of quiet Americans.
It is just who I am. I talk loud.....deal!
17. I will always be
honest when mad....and I’ll probably cry too. I’m sorry...but if you push me to
that point, I’m going to be real with you!
18. I’ll always be that
girl that obsesses over my house! It’s never clean enough and I’m never
organized enough....even though my friends disagree. Hubby and I have high
expectations even if we fail to meet them.
19. I’ll always be that
girl that orders way too much food at a restaurant. If you’re going to take me
out to eat...I’m going to enjoy it. I’m ordering a steak....a big fat juicy one
too! I like to eat!
20. I’ll always be that
girl....who questions herself and everything about her life. It doesn’t mean
I’m dissatisfied or unsure....I just am curious. I like to wonder....I like to
know!
So
that’s it....for now cuz you know...I’ll always be that girl that rambles on
and on!
I will always be American.
What
will you always be?

I just gave up my cowboy boots that I've had for a few years and haven't worn. I figured though I love them, someone else could love and USE them, lol!! Thank you for linking to Super Sunday Sync!
ReplyDeleteAmen to that! I bought me a pair of Dingo's a few years ago...the first pair of shoes that I actually spent $102 on for myself! LOL! Have to agree that ya'll just fits any situation!
ReplyDeleteI know right! Cowboy boots are the best....and then I'm even worse at sayin' yall! It comes from Uncle Stacey! ;-) I gotta have the whole persona!
ReplyDeleteThat's great that you're willing to pass them on and increase the love for cowboy boots! What a noble sacrifice! ;-) Thanks for stopping by!
