"FIXING TO"

Growing up in a very rural, very southern, very small, NC town; gave me one of the richest "southern dialects" possible. I have tried my entire life to figure some of the phrases out; where they came from, what are they really suppose to mean, and what words/letters are being substituted. "Fixin da", I think means "fixing to " but it still doesn't really make sense to me even though I am accused of using the phrase without being aware of it. Examples: I was "fixin da" say. I am "fixin da" go to town. You are "fixin da" get on my last nerve! So just in case y'all didn't know (ha,ha, ha), I am being BLESSED with the wedding of my daughter on July 21st. Keeping that in mind... I am "FIXIN DA" have a wedding and I am too busy to blog! I shall return with lots of fun stuff.

38 DAYS!

I have been busy planning, partying, cleaning, confirming, addressing, cutting, cooking, fittings,etc... (as Tom put it, "knee deep") and in just 43 days this beautiful couple will be MR. and MRS.! It has been stressful and I am sure it will get worse before it gets better, but I am BLESSED to be a part of this special lifetime event. Thanks for your kind comments and for stopping by to say "hi" even when I don't have time to visit your blog ( this has been an unexpected BLESSING and that is heartwarming). I will be back!
