I saw a little kid riding on the lawn-mower with his dad yesterday. It made me smile and giggle, too, as I drove down the road. Reminds me of growing up and riding on the mower with my mom.
Getting mail from BJU: it's always addressed to MISS Jamie Shaw. None of this "Ms." ambiguity mess. I truly despise that term. Women go to great lengths today not to be identified according to their marital status. It makes me sad.
Sweet Tea... mmm: we don't have it at our house much because we try to choose "healthier options" (i.e. juice, milk, etc.). But I don't think it's just the actual tea that I love, it's all that it symbolizes-- the South!
Conversing with an audience. I love acting and especially entertaining an audience. I don't think, though, that acting is merely a performance. It's more like a dialogue with one's audience. Delivering a line or idea, pausing to allow the audience a response, then answering that response; all timed according to that night's specific audience. It's beautiful, and I love it!
Charleston: I absolutely adore that town. Even the things that most people would hate about it make me happy. When I'm driving down there from home, I can smell the marshes about 50 miles out. I love that smell! My hands get stickier because of the humidity as I drive on what has become a very straight/flat I-26, and I get excited because I'm almost there. I grew up in the upstate, but when I think of all that is South Carolina, I think of Charleston. And even though the tap water tastes funny, I still LOVE Charleston!
July 4th. I am a patriot! It's been instilled in me from the moment I was born, and no one will ever break me of it. I love seeing the colors flown respectfully and wearing red, white, and blue. I stand to say that America is still the greatest nation on earth, and I'm proud to be an American!
Magnolias and pearls: symbols of the South. One day, I hope to be a true Southern Belle.
There are others, but this post is getting way too long ;-) Thanks for listening!
