I saw this great post by Katrina @ pugly pixel, and thought it would be a good way to test my video skills. {Also, please notice that I found the fuchsia lip stain I’ve been looking for!}

I say tennis shoes too! Is it outdated? Or just Midwestern? 🙂
glad I’m not the only one!
You are very cute. Congrats on your foray into the video blogging.
Until I moved to CA, I had no idea “carriage” was a regional term for a shopping cart. People would be all “like a baby carriage?”
i also seem to remember another specific term: pocketbook!
you’re so charming kate and i love your voice! thanks for sharing your vlog — just added it my list. 😀
happy happy sunday to you,
katrina
My mother in law says pocketbook! It always takes me a minute to realize she’s talking about her purse.
I grew up in a family that called gym shoes “tennies.” I get made fun of all the time!
I love your blog and have been reading it for a couple months now. It was a trip watching your vlog…you sound so different than I remember – all grown up I guess. Thanks for the trip down memory lane Katie 🙂
CALLIE!! Thanks for reading! Congrats on your engagement!
love the new lip stain!
You are super cute. Nicely done!
I say tennis shoes too! also, I’ve seen several of these dialect videos, but yours is the only one that would be exactly the same as mine (if I made one.) I’ve lived in CA, the south, AND the midwest so finding a perfect match was pretty unlikely!
That’s incredible! I’ve only ever lived in CA, but so many people tell me I’ve got the southern thing going on.
