I am a southern girl at heart.
I was born and raised down south, and I cannot tell you how much I miss living down there. I used to hear northerners talk about southern hospitality, and I never really understood what they meant until I moved up north with my husband. There is definitely such a thing as southern hospitality, and I miss it greatly. There is just one thing that I miss more than southern hospitality and that is warm weather. I mean eighty-five to ninety-five degree weather. I thought that my blood would thicken when I moved north and I would get used to the cold, but I have not yet. My husband loves the cooler weather up here, but I just cannot handle it very well. Because we have different temperature preferences, we cannot seem to agree on how often to use our air conditioner. My husband prefers to use the air conditioner from May through September. I cannot believe it because it is only about fifty-five degrees in May, and the same once September comes around. That is winter weather to me. I certainly do not want to use the air conditioner when it is that chilly, but my husband thinks it is warm enough to use it then. I can usually convince him to leave the air conditioner off and just open the windows until about the last week of May. Once it gets higher than sixty degrees, he has to have the AC on. I usually just wear a hoodie around the house and try to stay warm. Maybe someday, we will agree about running the air conditioner or not.
