two Eastern phrases

I moved to the Triangle seven years ago from a small town named Mocksville in the mid-western part of the state. There, our accents, colloquialisms and slang are greatly influenced by the people of the Appalachian Foothills since many of our ancestors migrated from those areas. So, I did not grow-up hearing everything spoken in what scholars would call Standard English. ;-)

My birthday Saturday

Thu, 25 Jun 2009 14:51:15 -0400

I will be celebrating my birthday on Saturday, June 27 at Moore Square. Budlight is sponsering a free concert just for me (and everyone else that attends!). If you happen to be down there, stop by and say hello. I should be easy to recognize by my profile pic.

Starbucks' new policy?

Mon, 18 May 2009 15:06:51 -0400

Hubby and I decided yesterday - as did half the people in Raleigh - to walk around Crabtree Valley Mall. It was cold and rainy therefore not much more to do. So, half-way around the upper floor we stopped at the Starbucks. Hubby ordered his usual 800 or so calorie Frappucino and I ordered a Grande decaf. Imagine my surprise when the lady said they stopped making decaf after noon. HUH?

I'm taking this class and wondered if anyone else would be interested. If you have a new digital SLR camera and don't know how to use it (like me!) then this should be fun.

Friday, February 27 at 8pm, Abbey Road Live a Beatles cover band is coming back to Lincoln Theatre. I saw them about two years ago and they were awesome! They sing the entire Abbey Road album and then do other Beatles songs by request at the end. A splendid time is guaranteed for all!
