I SAID Y'ALL!!!

I said y'all and didn't even realize it! And at a business meeting! That is NOT good. I was on the phone with a client of ours in California yesterday to follow up on a meeting we had here in Atlanta last week. I mentioned that I used to live in San Francisco and he asked how I was adapting to life in Georgia. I told him it was a lot of fun, but that I don't think I can consider myself a Southerner yet.

He said, "I think you can. You said y'all at the end of the meeting."

EEEK!! I did WHAT?!?!? Oh my....

I said, "No way, you are joking, I would never ever say that!"

He said, "Yes, after the meeting at the Marriott, when we were heading back to your office you looked at the group and said, "Do y'all need a ride back to the office?"

Embarrassing..... Can I still be in denial?

I guess now I have a unique and combined California Beach Town, Las Vegas Valley girl, Country Hick accent going on. I'm sure I sound pretty special. My Communication Studies Professors would be so proud right now at my linguistic adaptation and skills.

HOW MUCH YOU WANNA BET THEY SAY "Y'ALL"?
This picture cracks me up, I took it a few weeks ago in Alabama
MY MOM FORCES ME INTO AWKWARD POSES FOR "BLOG PICTURES". THIS WAS POST-MARGARITAS, OKAY, DON'T LAUGH

Thought I'd introduce you to Country Man aka Caleb (gasp...he has a name!) He is 98.9% to blame for all of this!
