c’Meeerr you guys. I’m busy making my list for tomorrow’s grocery shopping extravaganza so I don’t have a lot of time.
But, since I am a slave to the NaBloPoMo – an indentured servant, actually – I must fulfill my servitude. So I’m going to share a little bit of regional dialect by telling you that if weren’t so darn cold, dark and snowy out there, I’d go to the party store and get some pop.
‘Cuz that’s what we say here in Michigan. And I’m thirsty.
And yes,
it is grand
to live in a land
that’s shaped
like a hand.

And isn’t it interesting that we get “a” Coke, but we get “some” pop?

Yes, and I noticed when visiting my friend in Atlanta that it’s all coke there, even when you’re getting a Vernors.

I can’t figure out that word! My early years were in Indiana (“pop,” I think), then Michigan. But then out West – soda. So I’m not consistent, but use them interchangeably.
And I love “c’meeerr!” I can hear myself!

I was watching Rehab Addict:Detroit a few nights ago and Nicole Curtis mentioned that no one says “party store” outside of Michigan – it’s all convenience store or liquor store – so I threw that one in, too.

Ooo, I missed that. I admit, I hear party store and think Party City, for colored plates and napkins and New Year’s Eve noisemakers😀

Dumb question here. Totally off topic. What is this NoPqRsTuv thing? How does one get involved?

Hi Kathleen. NaBloPoMo stands for National Blog Posting Month. It is an event put on by BlogHer, with the cooperation of WordPress. The challenge is to post every day in November (which is hard enough anyway, and then pile on all the prep of Thanksgiving).
You can read WordPress’s explanation of NaBloPoMo here: https://en.blog.wordpress.com/2013/11/01/nablopomo-november-2013/
