I like a little contrast

I had to laugh today when a colleague told me that I'm "all business" -- but I'm getting a sexy Southern accent. Well, well. Yes, I'm all business when the time is right, and let my hair down in equal measure.

I laughed again tonight when after hanging out with some girlfriends and two of their two-year-old girls, playing two-year-old girl games involving tea sets, pink puppies and baby dolls, we put the babies to bed, drank some more wine, and then shared our personal favorite stripper moves -- like the bam and out, the dizzy slut, and scratch that itch (no, not the bad kind of itch) -- and planned a debaucherous party.

Oh, and I told him I'm not getting a Southern accent. I'm getting back a Southern accent. I was born in the South, transplanted to the Midwest, then moved back. I'm a little bit of this, a little bit of that. Just getting in touch with my roots, y'all.
