My Southern Accent

So, Make Mine a Mojito's most recent post reminded me that while in Los Angeles last month, several of my co-workers said every time they hear this commercial, they think of me. I only deal with a lot of them on the phone, so they get to hear me quite often. I hadn't yet seen it, but I have now.

Personally, I don't think my accent is this bad - I mean, I don't sound like Britany or anything...I don't think...do I????

Now y'all know where I got my blog name from. I wasn't kidding. And I'm getting a Flip camera for Christmas, so maybe I'll really let y'all hear what I sound like in 2010 so you can get a chuckle.

  1. Wendy, this has been my favorite for a LONG time. It really cracks me up!
    I don't think we sound quite like this but almost.

  3. Haha - this commercial always makes me laugh!

    I didn't think my accent was that bad compared to some I know. Then I heard myself talking on a recording I made at Thanksgiving. I'm definitely southern. My mom says it's gotten more pronounced since I moved to Tennessee.

  4. Whatever...they're just jealous that they don't have a southern drawl. :)

    I guess that not too many Southerners make their way to the West coast. I have family in Oregon and when I was visiting the last time, every one I ran into was just so fascinated with my Southern accent. LOL

  11. I live in Cali right now, but we are southern born and bred. People say that commercial reminds them of me all the time. I tell them that they are not funny!

Happy Pills

I'm a crazy person. At least, that's what I feel like some times. And it runs in my family. No, not really crazy (and don't take offense if you are one of me), but just clinically depressed and filled with anxiety. It's as if I don't have something to worry about in my head constantly, then I don't feel normal. Luckily, there's a pill for that. It's a bitter pill, one that I'll basically have to take the rest of my life, but I've slowly accepted that it's like any other disease, and just like diabetes or heart disease, that little pill is gonna make me better. But that little pill makes me gain weight, gives me the brain shivers when I miss it, and although I've tried to get off it multiple times, I just can't. So I guess that makes me an addict as well. But it's a pill that my grandparents and family didn't always have, and they suffer from it as well, so I should be thankful for this little red capsule of happiness...
