These are the musings of a mother of four learning how to live like a southerner. The lingo. The tabboos. The deals. So get yourself some sweet tea, pull up a chair, and learn with me.

Humidity and Hair
We never took into consideration what the constant humidity would do to my hair when we moved down South. I am a natural,curly-girl; and actually like it. But on days like today with the humidity so high it's hard to move, or even breathe, my hair gets me down. Every hair feels a need to display its unique individuality in curly form and I end up with a halo of fuzz. I'm not one to obsess about my hair. Really, I'm not. And even in this humidity I will often forget about what it looks like. But it's downright discouraging to be reminded of my big hair by the cashier at Aldi who apparently has no tact (bless her little heart). What do curly-girl Southern Belles do down here to keep their curls united and working as a team?!

As a northern girl with stick straight hair, I have no idea.
ReplyDeleteBut I have an Aldi now, what is that?
oooh, Aldi is good. Some of the same pricing as Sam's Club (and they do not provide bags for groceries so go prepared), but not bulk quantity. For instance, I bought strawberries and bluberries for $.99/container, cheese for $1.29/8oz, 3pk romaine hearts for $2, 80/20 hamburger for $1.79 etc. Bring a quarter so that you can use one of their shopping carts. They are locked to each other outside and released only when you insert a quarter. You get the quarter back when you return the cart.
