It has been awhile since I brought you a Southernism…and this one fits perfectly! See, I have been so busy lately that you can’t even see the end of my list with a pair of binoculars and it doesn’t look like things are going to slow down anytime soon. Now in some ways that is a good thing, in others, not so much.
So, when people call me or e-mail me asking for my help on something I am having to say:
“I’ll do it if nothin’ breaks or comes untwisted.”
Basically, that is a yes but it also leaves a little wiggle room in case you need to bow out.

Unidentified Farm Objects and paranormal sightings are the norm with Shaun the Sheep and his barnyard buddies Bitzer, Shirley and Timmy, as they encounter more madcap mischief along with those Naughty Pigs next door. Big laughs are evident, as the creators of the Academy Award®-winning Wallace & Gromit™ are out to prove that sheep-herding fun is universal.

“The Bull” – Shaun learns it’s not safe to wave anything red in front of a bull. But the Naughty Pigs thinks it’s funny to add red paint to the sheep’s bath. What to do with an angry charging bull and all those red sheep?
“Hiccups” – Shirley drinks Bitzer’s lemonade too fast and gets the hiccups. Shaun tries all the usual tricks to cure her with hilarious results.
“Bitzer Puts His Foot In It” – Even with Bitzer guarding the fresh concrete the farmer just poured, Shaun and his fearless flock of friends can’t resist treating it like their own personal “Walk of Fame”
“Save the Tree” – The Farmer wants to turn the tree in Shaun’s field into firewood, so the flock must take desperate (and humorous) measures to stop their beloved tree from getting felled!

Ya know, with today’s economy they’s gonna be a lotta people who aren’t gonna be goin on vacation. My family is one of em cause:
“If a trip ’round the world cost a dollar, I wouldn’t make it to the end of the driveway.”
There are lots of people I know in that boat these days.
Today is a big day around here. Tate turns 13. That means I have one leaving the teenage years and one entering them. He has been so excited to see this day and bounced out of bed this morning screaming through the house…”I am a TEENAGER”. Not sure what he thinks that means for him, but apparently it was very important. There will be no personalized gifts this year…he wants things like an iPod Touch, a new video card for his computer, a new XBox since his is messed up. We have moved beyond all the affordable toys and into the techy aspect of things where everything costs an arm and a leg.
I hope that you have great plans for the weekend…we will be spending the majority of it either at the karate studio getting ready for a tournament on Saturday or at the tournament on Saturday watching all of the competitors, one of which will be Tate himself.

Sometimes people beat around the bush a few times before eventually getting to the point of whatever it is they are trying to say. Kinda like if someone asks if they look fat, you never want to just come out and answer that. You might give some fat burner advice or something but you never, ever just say yes. That would be rude. So, you beat around the bush a few times till someone tells ya:
“Hurry up and get to the tail of that dog.”
In other words…get to the point already.
Don’t cha just love how us Southerners have a sayin’ for everything?
