things i've learned of lexington

50 degrees (f) is not freezing cold. You just need a hoodie.  They don't have the horrible humidity here. Less water here.

accents

I'm a Northerner who went to Florida for awhile. And somehow ended up in Kentucky. only part of the week.
So, even though this is a large town, I still stick out with the way I tawk dude. yeah, north jersey meets the surf.
Whenever I hear people say words like y'all...... shiver.
Today, I learned another word that sticks out. Sprite. Yeah, the soda. But, around here it's more pronounced spraahite. i tend to giggle. Of course, they probably laugh when I say tomata or water (my sons tease that there isn't a d in water).

blogger goof?

I've recently noticed that my visitor counter is way off. I'm getting more traffic than it says. Also, it's pooling the blogs together. Just odd.
Is this just mine?

ever notice

That most detergent commercials have women doing the wash? Single and married men do wash clothing too. At least, most of the men I've met.

touch screen

years ago, my work had touch screen wifi tablets. only my specific team used them. they weren't this super thin, super lightweight tablets you see nowadays. more the size of a netbook. we hated them. when you could actually pick up the wifi was great.
so, when all this touch screen tablet/phone deal started, i was so against it. figured my crackberry was good enough.
then, got a android with slide keyboard.
then, android with touch screen keyboard.
also, android tablet.

wow, have things changed.

lugging a laptop. pshew! not having an android phone with everything. wtf!

oh, how times change.
my first cell phone was basically a brick that made scratchy calls.

trying to enroll a child in school soon after moving states......nightmare.
call school.
call health department.
call old doctor.
pull hair out.

lather rinse repeat.

florida vs kentucky

it's quite amusing how it will be 85-90 here and people can't function. here it's nice most of the day. then around 4-5pm, it gets hot and only stays that way for a short time. in Florida, it starts out hot and stays that way all day. 

i'll take the short and sweet. though a nearby beach would be nice.
