now on to my new monday. this is what monday's will look like from now on @ lowercase letters.
1. since moving to the south from the west, i've been keenly aware of the pronunciations of words. i've noticed that hunter is often called "hunner." also, when you get a quarter back as change, do you call it "25 cent?" please tell me you don't, although if you're southern, i'm betting you do. i know that it is only one coin, but it is more than one penny nonetheless. which means it's more than one cent. which means when you are referring to anything greater than one penny you should say "cents." agreed?
2. you probably don't think this is as cool as i do, but the gal who won bronze in the women's mogul competition is shannon bahrke. when i lived in lake tahoe, we went to the same middle and high school. i was star struck watching her the other night on t.v.
3. am i allowed to wear socks with ballet flats?
4. this past saturday night, we had a "concert for a cause" to benefit water missions international and their relief efforts in haiti. keith and krystin getty (he wrote "in christ alone") were there stunning us all with their incredible, celtic, christ-filled music. i had voice envy the whole time. if you could imagine the voice of an angel it would be kristyn getty. seriously, so good. in heaven can i sound like her or sarah mclachlan, please?
5. you have to try dianna's banana's. they are frozen and dipped in chocolate. such a great snack. frozen bananas are light years better than non frozen ones. i even bought them without a coupon and without them being on sale. yep, that is how good they are. (thanks jules.)
6. how do you contain an on-the-go one year old who enjoys nothing but moving and exploring everything? he is learning "no." rather, i think he is learning to test the meaning of "no." up until yesterday he was doing well and i thought he had mastered obedience (hello, first time mom syndrome!). so yeah, yesterday, he started laughing as i told him "no" while he continued to do the "no no." oh boy, here we go.
8. hope you had a sweet valentine's day and a have a fun president's day. by the way, lincoln is my fave. reagan is my 2nd fave. enough politics, though. go eat some jelly beans in honor of the day... during reagan's presidency the white house ordered 12 tons of jelly beans.

I don't think you should wear socks with ballet flats and don't see Valentine's Day. Happy Monday.
def no socks with ballet flats = ) I am from the south! I never say hunner! I do say 25 cent and sometimes cents I think it could be right eitehr way. bc what if I am saying do you have a 25 cent coin...you see it may not come out like that it may sound more like do you have 25 cent but its all the same. Don't hate ; )
Have you come across "case quarter?" I've never heard it used except in the Charleston area. Apparently, it means "whole quarter" as in the 25 cents is in one coin as opposed to two dimes and a nickel for example. I never used it because I was afraid of using it wrong.
It drives me nuts when people say something about their driver's license such as "I have to get them renewed." Them what? You only have one! Silly, I know.
Just stumbled on your blog and love reading. Following along, and girl you have a beautiful family! Look forward to reading more!
I'm originally from south Florida so when I first moved to Charleston I would laugh at people's pronunciations. Thirteen years later and I now speak the "Charlestonian" way and get teased by my family and friends. Lol!!!
No on the socks with ballet flats ;-).
Love the miscellany monday. Very cute idea!!!
Hey Carissa! I came over to your blog from Cindy's and have been following for a good while now. I just recently started blogging as well. I really enjoy reading your posts and hearing all about sweet little Hunter! He is precious! I had a niece and nephew born in February of last year and my baby Weston was born in May, so it's fun to read about things that other new mommys are going through as well! But I just figured I have "blog stalked" long enough and wanted to introduce myself :-)
oh, and congratulations on baby # 2! How exciting!!
Love, Reese Ray
Cheryl and I are talking about going to see Valentine's Day, maybe this weekend. Some one came into her office today and said it was very good. Go see Dear John, we saw it and liked it. It was filmed in Charleston.
