11/11/11

Happy Friday ya’ll!!!  Sometimes I wish I had a southern accent.  Like the way Reese Witherspoon talks in Sweet Home Alabama.  Love that movie!  Have any of you ever wished you had an accent?  Well, we actually do.  I work with people all over the country and world and maybe a few months ago, I was helping some people from Canada and a guy was telling me that I have a strong Midwest accent, Midwest accent??  I asked him, what it is that I say or how do I talk that makes me have an accent.  And he said just right there, just how you said that!  That was the first time I was ever told I had an accent, but I suppose it makes sense, I just never thought of the way we talk here in Nebraska to be an “accent.”  But just like in New York, New Jersey, Texas, Minnesota, and North Carolina, we here in Nebraska have our own way of speaking also.

Today is 11/11/11, so that means a couple different things.  One, a boat load of people will be getting married today so their husband’s have no excuse not to remember their wedding anniversaries.  Second, it’s Veteran’s Day and Remembrance Day for you Canadians out there (I know some of you up there look at my blog, because it shows it on my demographic page J.)  Today lets remember those who have served our country, past, present and future.  These people have all made huge sacrifices to help protect us and our country, and for that we should all give thanks!!  We should all feel so proud to live here in America, the country of “awesome possibilities.”  I heard on the radio this morning that this is our countries new motto or slogan.  Mmmhmmm.  I wonder who came up with that?  They should be fired.  Just sayin’.

I hope everyone has an awesome weekend!  I will be heading to Lincoln to watch my little niece’s as my sister works and my brother-in-law’s go on a group bike ride from Lincoln to Columbus.  So I wish them luck!  You guys are crazy. J  As for the rest of the weekend, I hope to squeeze in some shopping, put all my fall décor away and get all my Christmas décor out.  It’s hard to believe Christmas is less than a month and a half away!  Everyone have your Christmas letter’s sent to Santa?? ;)  Enjoy the weekend and the weather!!!  Jenna xoxo
