OMG! did i mention it's HOT here? i should be working but i just had to say that. do i get an amen. yesterday sitting on my porch (again!) and wondered why is it that when any interview is done with an arkansan it seems they are a throwback to another era. not necessarily a better one either. if it's male, he will be wearing a a wifebeater and what might of been jeans at one time. if it's female, she will be wearing a wifebeater and what might of been shorts..(see above). the quotes will be something along the line of, "Well me and bubba here were just sitting on the porch and heared what sounding like a freight train..". you understand what i mean don't you. then i started looking around and just about wet myself, not that i would of noticed because with the humidity i was already soaked. if somebody described my life it would read like that interview. trailerhouse, overgrown lawn, dogs everywhere AAAHHH when did this happen. i've morphed into a real life redneck. i really wouldn't change anything about it though, yes my house is a trailer, but it's very nice and almost paid for, the dogs are the best alarm system you ask for (not mention the ear with no mouth), i'm married to a great guy, have wonderful kids trying to find and make their own mark on the world in a positive way, GREAT friends, jeez what else could you ask for?

Darla, there's a very BIG difference between "country girl" and "redneck".

Also, I KNOW! The sterotypes of Arkansas (though sometimes true) are so unfair. I was talking to a guy from California about something in Arkansas and he started asking me all these questions about Moonshiners. What year do these people live in?
