I want fancy pants and tiaras dang it!

I am admitting that I am a wanna be. I have wanted to be many things: Taller, thinner, prettier, richer, and more cultured. I have wanted to be more southern, more country or at least have a neat British accent. I have wanted to be a cow-girl, a volleyball player, a dancer, a singer and a writer.
Some days I want to be a debutante sipping champagne from crystal flutes, but instead I will slurp pepsi or grape juice out of a wine glass. I want to be a person who enjoys eating raw vegetables like broccoli and carrot sticks but I'm not. Today I want to be more Southern than my old Kentucky home allows. Don't get me wrong there are certain benefits of being a Kentuckian and being able to claim the redneck, hillbilly, sweet bluegrass girl properties of Bourban fired blood and simple sayings. However being from the deep south allows you a certain amount of Scarlett O'hara charm, and turns of phrase that I envy the opportunity to use such as "Well I Suwanee" or "popping up like yard onions"
For now though I will pour some bubbly (Pepsi) into my Home Interiors Humming Bird Wine Glass and think about the things I want.

The Rock: Rockcastle Kentucky

There is a road out there that leads to a place where dreams are made. It's winding and seemingly infinite but at the end of the journey there is a cliff that opens up to stars sleeping on water. It is so peaceful it makes you excited. It feeds and nourishes your soul, and as you hear the waves lap against the shore, it has this gentle way of caressing the emotion right out of you. Some days it coaxes out the tears and sometimes makes you laugh. Somehow this place knows you as a friend. Fortunately it won't talk back, but just lets you talk all the weariness out of your heart. The dewy night air just hugs you when its right, and the gentle breeze will wipe the tears from cheeks. I go to this place often and it feels like home. As soon as I step onto this rock and take that first breath of the summer air I know how much I have missed this feeling, this place. For some reason the air seems softer out here, the elements less harsh. Its a place to share memories and a place to make them. Sometimes it insists that you be the only one out there, just an old talk between old friend.
