You know you're from Texas if...
1. You measure distance in minutes.
2. You've ever had to switch from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day.
3. Stores don't have bags, they have sacks.
4. You see a car with the engine running in the Wal-mart parking lot with no one in it, no matter what time of the year.
5. You use "fix" as a verb. Example: "I am fixin' to go to the store." (note: in the portion above "fix-in-to" is one word....)
6 All the festivals across the state are named after a fruit or a vegetable.
7. You install security lights on your house and garage and leave both unlocked.
8. You carry jumper cables for your own car.
9. You know what "cow tipping" and "snipe hunting" are.
l0. You only have five spices in your kitchen: Salt, Pepper, Catsup, Chili powder and, maybe, Tabasco and Cinnamon.
11. You think everyone from north of Dallas has an accent.
12. You think sexy underwear is a tee shirt and boxer shorts.
13. The local paper covers national and international news on one page but requires six pages to cover Friday night high school football.
14. You think that the first day of deer season is a national holiday.
15. You know which leaves make good toilet paper.
16 You find 100 degrees a "tad" warm.
17. You know all four seasons: Almost summer, summer, still summer and Christmas.
18 You know whether another Texan is from East, West, North, or South Texas as soon as he opens his mouth.
19 Going to Walmart is a favorite past-time known as "goin Wal-Martin" or "off to Wally-world".
20. You describe the first cool snap (below 70 degrees) as good chili weather.
21. A carbonated soft drink isn't a soda, cola, or pop....It's a Coke ....regardless of brand or flavor.
For experimental purposes, I have actually tried to go a whole day without saying "fixin", it's impossible.
I remember when Kenny and I started dating how he thought it was so funny that we all said we were going to get a coke but everyone in our house drank Dr. Pepper. That was before he turned me to the dark side. I only drink Coke now and never touch Dr. Pepper.
Yes, I have actually used both the heater and air conditioner in the same day.
It's crazy!

The Bees Knees
My Mom came through surgery fabulously. She even took a few steps yesterday with the help of a walker. I'll post later on the hilarity of getting her to the hospital with my grandmother in tow.
