Random Southern Musings

My last few posts have been rather long and wordy, so here's a little lighter reading:

There are no coffee shops here
I heard on the radio "And now here's some of the best music ever written..." followed by Funky Town
Carrying my lunch bag on my right shoulder seems to have had an adverse affect on my left hip
My site has a resident dog, she looks like a English setter, white with black markings, reminded me of Pepper
Is it bad that I think of missing my pup more than my man?
Having the main road through town be a divided highway SUCKS
Jack's, while similar in signage, is NOT the same as Jack in the Box
The coffee here SUCKS, I need to introduce these people to real coffee
We have flammable soap at work?? It was marked with an NFPA flammability rating of 3 which would indicate a flash point of as low as 73F
Most people here have no idea what a stand mixer is, and seem horrified at the thought of spending $300+ on a kitchen appliance
Did I mention the complete lack of decent coffee?!

Oh, I signed a lease at my first choice place today! They called right after I made arrangements to sign the lease for the 3-bedroom for $675/month place. I jumped on it! Turns out it's owned by two cute southern brothers :) Pictures to follow!
