Something wonderful happened the other day. At work, I was going through old newsletters that are sent out by the company that I'm with, and I came across a "fun" section of the newsletter by Jeff Foxworthy about "Living in Minnesota." I started to read through it a bit, and I thought I'd share what I found.
"If you consider it a sport to gather your food by drilling through 18 inches of ice and sitting there all day hoping that the food will swim by, you might live in Minnesota." I don't.
"If you're proud that your state makes the national news 96 nights each year because International Falls is the coldest spot in the nation, you might live in Minnesota." I'm not.
"If you know how to say...Wayzata...Mohtomedi...Cloquet...Edina...and Shakopee, you might live in Minnesota." I can say three of them...and only because I work in one, my fiance is from another, and there's a road with one of the names in it.
"If vacation means going 'up north' for the weekend, you might live in Minnesota." Goodness, I can't tell you how true this is for everyone in this state....EVERYONE has a cabin...including my fiance's family!
"If you can drive 65 mph through 2 feet of snow during a raging blizzard without flinching, you might live in Minnesota." Mmm yeah, definitely can't do that. I'm one of those really slow drivers when it's snowing...
This just confirms that though I may live in Minnesota, I am definitely not a Minnesotan :)
