Shoulda, Coulda, Woulda

So, I'm suppose to be packing for our trip. Suppose to be. Instead I'm blog surfing.

Yep, it's what I do best.

Founds some pretty good ones to. My Google Reader list is getting a bit out of control.

Had to share this one though. Remember when I said something about being able to laugh at yourself? I got this off of someones top 5 weird things about Utah and I gotta say she has our accent down pat. Totally funny.

You've heard of Ebonics? How about Utahnics? The Utah accent is really hard to reproduce in print but it's kind of like a choppier version of a Valley Girl accent with more frequent abuse of misplaced glottal stops. Mountain: see, Mau-en. Clinton: see, Cli-en. Also: pillow, milk, crayon, and mirror = pellow, melk, cren, and meer.

If you want to read the whole thing go here. One of those few posts where someone totally has Utah nailed and it's not offensive. A Rare Gem I'm sure.

By Blog keeps centering everything by itself.

Super Annoying!

Oh blog surfing is the best and the worst. SEriously though - I waste many a time doing just reading about people I do not know and then feeling bad about myself because everyone else's life looks so fun and fulfilling and problem free.

I have been hesitant to look at your blog again since the post of the feet. You know how I feel about that. You should have a protective warning before those types of pictures.
