Back To My Roots, A Redneck Woman

Love my new home here in Oviedo! My workplace is just right down the street, where before, I had to battle deadly traffic. Now I can do Earth a big favor by just walking. If I'm lucky to have an hour lunch, I can walk back home and have it. Love my own personal "Boar's Nest", Dickey's Barbecue, just a few steps further. Luscious pulled pork, beef brisket and pecan pie at my anticipating fingertips.

Love the peace and serenity I find here in the country, rather than the consistent urban noise of my old home. Every single little thing I do here is more worth doing. No blasting music, no drunken neighbors, just warm, friendly southern hospitality and cleanliness, more sanity and organization everywhere one goes.

Country music I've grown to love more and more as I get back to my spiritual simple country girl roots. Gretchen Wilson is a phenomena. She's unashamed of who she is and unafraid to speak her mind. And, like me, she finds shallow, vain, selfish women such as Paris Hilton and Mary Kate Olsen unbearable, as she says in her song "California Girls". Kenny Chesney is gorgeous, I've got to get into him more often. And of course Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood and Kellie Pickler have got me interested. I usually don't support anything that has to do with verbal abuse in any way, nor human exploitation, such as "American Idol", but anyone who can maturely get past Simon Cowell and live to tell about it is OK in my book.

Thank goodness I've found ways to be more active online, I used to never find my way around at all. Some websites are so good, I don't know what to try first, but I'll get over that. I'll have to work harder and with more gumption to find pics of John Schneider and Tom Wopat sans shirt (how do these girls who post such said pictures on You Tube do it?!) but I'll be able to eventually.
