weekend in Nashville, than a weekend in Little Rock, just getting my feet wet to the southern way of life i guess. so its official, i am moving to little rock. i must admit, there are a few issues i have with the mentality there, but overall, i think i will be happy. being a strong, opinionated, Yankee woman, i might have a hard time fitting in at first, but somehow it will work out. a few things that really bothered me were, the whole "woman's place in the home" mentality and also, the fact that I heard numerous sentences begin with "I'm not racist, but..." in my eyes, that is the worst kind of racism. i will find my place there. and i will stick to my ideals and values. the positives of the move definitely outway the negatives.

SpeedFreak wins the prize for Toad Suck Daze! The festival was going on this weekend and it was all over the news. interviews with the Toad Suck Queen, a run down of all the food you can eat on a stick and all the fun family festivities. Sounds like the county fair. Can't wait to go next year!

My days will now be spent getting my house ready to put on the market, packing, and doing all that stuff that needs to be done to move. feeling a little freaked, but trying to remain calm.

so the turmoil in my life continues. the bad mixed with the good. still feeling as if i need to apologize and justify who i am and why i do the things i do...gets tiresome. there are times i need people to have faith in my intelligence and common sense and not always question my decisions. damn it, i like who i am. it has taken me a long time to get to this place and i won't change. i don't need to change. for once in my life i am going to be true to myself.

Happy Monday!
