I have lived in 6 different states, but since I spent most of my childhood in Missouri and Texas, I consider myself to be what Americans refer to as G.R.I.T.S. ~ Girls Raised In The South. I used to have a very strong Texas accent, but worked hard to lose it after moving to California. Apparently, most Californians really hate Texas accents.

Some stereotypes of southern girls.
1. I can shoot just about any type of gun and yes I have a permit to carry concealed.
2. I consider white cream gravy to be a beverage.
3. I love chicken-fried steak.
4. I love to fish and I eat what I catch as long as it is big enough.(and I clean the fish myself)
5. I hate dresses.
6. I wear cowboy boots.
7. I can do 'donuts' in a pick up truck.
8. I go to rodeos.

Non-stereotype stuff
1. I'm a walking calculator.
2. I have a very high IQ.
3. I can write a complete sentence.
4. I prefer single malt scotch and I don't drink beer.
5. I can fix just about anything and do all my own home repairs - properly. I once put up crown molding in every room of my house. (me and my hubby)
6. I know who the father of my children is. (I know, really bad grammar)
7. I have never ridden a horse.
8. I have never had a pot-bellied pig as a pet.
