Ok, so the word Pulchritudinous is not even close to an accurate description of me, but I like to think that my alter ego self (Mrs. Pulchritudinous) has a much better grip on life, thus enabling me to better deal with life's daily bull.  She has more mental space to comprehend and react to problems/trials/hardships because none of her brain is bothered with, "I am so bloated today!" or "Could my hair look any uglier?"  or "I swear that I will start that crash diet tomorrow and I won't eat peanut butter and melted chocolate chips for at least a month!"  

Now on to our adventures in Mulletland.  That is how I so fondly refer to this place I am so desperately trying to call home.  My husband and I and our three small children moved from the great potato state of Idaho two months ago to Mulletland Indiana.  Talk about an adjustment!  Ok, so I am still waiting for the adjusting part to actually happen.  So far it has been a whole lot of getting lost and squinting due to extreme focus in trying to discern what in the world people are saying.  I am pretty sure it is english, just nothing close to the dialect I understand.  

I could write a four book series on all the horrible things that have happened to us since our arrival, but who wants to dwell on the terrible?  Let's move on to the fun stuff!

I have discovered that Walmart is a source of GREAT entertainment after 7 p.m. and anytime on the weekends.  If you can be entertained by watching people:  WALMART IS THE PLACE FOR YOU!  

I have discovered that red clay/mud here is much more appealing to children than Idaho mud.  (They must have a sixth sense that tells them this mud is wash proof.  It stains everything!)

I have discovered that people in this area love it so much they have created their own name:  Kentuckiana!  At first I thought I was having the dialect confusion problem again and then I realized they actually have created their own name.  Louisville, KY and Southern Indiana combined!  Feel the interstate love!

I have discovered that I definitely need to learn more patience . . .

And I have discovered that comparing Idaho to Indiana is like comparing apples to prunes.  They are both good for your health, but I am convinced that too much of the latter can definitely cause adverse affects on ones health!
