Can someone please just whisk me away from the arctic tundra of a place..?
--------------------------------------
I don’t know about you, but I’m sure glad it’s finally the weekend. Not that I had a long week, being that it was cut a day short, but mostly for the fact that I can stay cuddled up inside till the temps warm up a bit instead of having to trek out in the wee hours of the frigid morning to class. Heck with snow days, I think someone needs to instill cold days into the university policy..eek!
I loved hearing about all of your favorite Progresso soup flavors. We all pretty much agreed that Progresso knows what they are doing in the soup department! Speaking of which, I suppose you’re wondering who one the fabulous Progresso prize pack?
Drum roll please…
We have a winner!
Jessica from The Novice Chef Blog! Great blog by the way—I love her sense of humor! So please send me your contact info and we will have all your goodies in the mail ASAP! :-)

No food fun today folks, I have quite a bit of homework I need to get a head start on. So instead, I did this Dialect Vlog I’ve been seeing floating around the blog world. It’s all about how everyone has different accents from all corners of the globe. Can you tell I am from northern Minnesota, eh? ;-) Have a great weekend all!
p.s. If you decide to do this, let me know—I’d love to tune in!
The Questions:
- What is it called when you throw toilet paper on a house?
- What is the bug that when you touch it, it curls into a ball?
- What is the bubbly carbonated drink called?
- What do you call gym shoes?
- What do you say to address a group of people?
- What do you call the kind of spider that has an oval-shaped body and extremely long legs?
- What do you call your grandparents?
- What do you call the wheeled contraption in which you carry groceries at the supermarket?
- What do you call it when rain falls while the sun is shining?
- What is the thing you change the TV channel with?

oh my gosh- I'll stop complaining that its cold in SC :) Stay warm over there! This dialect vlog is so cute. I <3 your accent.
Your accent sounds familiar to me.
Hmmmm...could that be because I'm from Minnesota too?
You betcha!
That was a fun post!
I call toilet papering "tping" but other than that, I think we say everything about the same. But I'm from Minnesota too :) I think the word "Minnesota" really show cases our accent because that's really the only time I noticed yours.
XOXO
Minnesoooota :)
I'm a fellow Minnesotan and think our accents might top them all!
Love your blog, can't wait to look around at the eats!

Oh my goodness, so glad to meet ya! I'm from Ames, Iowa originally and spent many a time going up to Minnesota to shop and or vacation! Gosh, the accent thing that you're talking about is so TRUE! My kids are part Swedish (Svedish) and I just love talking in that dialect. I now live in South Carolina (a bit warmer, but still chilly this year) and always get this . . . "Where are you from with that accent?" HA!
Love your blog an sense of humor; now following along!
You are so pretty! I love your hair style! I want to do this!
I did it!!!!! http://www.dinneratchristinas.com/2011/02/dialect-vlog.html
Very cute idea/cute video:) I think the only thing in your "accent" that places you in Minnesota(for me) is the way you pronounce the "ow", "ou" sound:) I think I might also guess that you were from Wisconsin.
Your new header is cute!
Hope it warms up for you soon... Yesterday my little neighbor was playing in the sprinklers(sorry, I couldn't resist)!
I emailed you about winning the giveaway but never heard back! Did you not get my email? :-)
