I promise I don’t work for Southern Living. If I did, I’d be floating around on a cloud all day. Today, I was checking their Tales from the Road blog and came across a post for a Southern Bucket List. Which made me realize a couple of things. First, for a proud Southerner, I’ve apparently been no where and done nothing (made even more obvious after reading the list of 40 Things Every Southerner Ought to Do). Second, I feel as though I should heavily edit my 101/1001 list. Or start a new sub-list. Third, I need to be independently wealthy so I can just drive or jet around doing all these wonderfully Southern things. Or get a job at Southern Living where I could do all these wonderfully Southern things while getting paid. I’m open to whichever option will have me sitting on a screened-in porch drinking sweet tea sooner rather than later.
