| What American accent do you have?
Your Result: The Midland
“You have a Midland accent” is just another way of saying “you don’t have an accent.” You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one of those big southern cities like Atlanta or Dallas. You have a good voice for TV and radio. |

Birthday shoes
Somehow, I missed the fact that there is a NoBloShoeMo photo pool on Flickr. It’s too late now to join the “30 days of shoes” effort*, but I wanted to show you my new shoes anyway.
I first saw these boots this summer in Missouri, where the fancy-pants shoe store downtown was closing. I tried them on in a fit of goofiness. And I loved them. They were marked down quite a bit but not enough to satisfy my inate sense of cheapness. I went back to the store twice before it closed for good, but I never bought the shoes.
Months passed before I saw them again. I was at a TJ Maxx in North Carolina. And there they were. Cheaper than before. But we were about to move to Holland, and I was in spend-no-money mode, so once again, I bid them adieu.
Again, months passed. And just a few days before the Greatest Day of the Year, we were reunited.
Thanks, Rockford, for the rock star boots. I love them, and I promise I will wear them somewhere, someday.
*It says “Post daily, or once in a while, or when the shoe whim strikes.” So I joined anyway.
Everybody now: Awwww.
I forgot to mention this before. Poppy said “I love mama” yesterday. The happiness and the cuteness nearly killed me.
