How they do it in MISSISSIPPI…

December 7, 2013 by Leigh-Mary Hoffmann Leave a Comment

Red, white, and blue sign to welcome travelers to Mississippi -The Top 5 Lessons I learned from my new friend Ashley (a twenty-something mom-to-be, journalism major and all-around fabulous person) in M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I

1) You don’t “start your car” … you “crank it.” And in the grocery store, you push along your “buggy” … not your shopping cart. Fantastic.

2) A 350 person wedding can take place in your church meeting space on New Year’s Day and feature an college football game on a big screen projector – and all guests will walk away saying it is the best wedding they ever attended. Brilliant.

3) As a general rule of thumb, if someone is five years or more your senior, you are “Miss Leigh-Mary” or “Mr. so-and-so.” So sweet.

4) Homemade biscuits and squirrel gravy are so good. I’ll take your word for that one, honey.

5) I learned so much about the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. Absolutely heartbreaking but equally as inspiring. This land, these people, this place…is amazing.

I have traveled to a fair amount of places here, there and everywhere for work and pleasure over the years. It surprises me, but inspires me, that my front runner favorite is M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I. Did you hear that ya’ all? (Side note: this may change following my 40th birthday celebration in Las Vegas is January….believe me, I will keep you posted – then again, what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas!)

I’m just a gal juggling a family, a job, and busy, crazy life. I tell it like it is – the good, the bad and the ugly – and I try to keep a smile on my face and laughter in my life. Sarcasm and snark seem to be key traits of mine, as are “this can only happen to me” scenarios. Thanks for checking me out in my little corner of the Internet!
