For the first time since I bought it, I will be sleeping on my new memory foam mattress tonight.

[QuantaFille]

I've been sleeping on the guest bed, since I only just unrolled the memory foam mattress a few days ago, and it takes a few days to completely regain its shape.

[QuantaFille]

Today I washed the guest bed sheets and we got the room ready, so I'm in my own room tonight.

[QuantaFille]

Goodnight.

I'm leaving for America in just over 12 hours! How exciting!

Don't worry, dear. I will.

Brush up on your vernacular.
Howdy.
Y'all.
You bet'cha.
French fried taters, mmhmm.
Ain't.
Git (extended pronunciation gee-yit)
Yup.
I reckon.
And lots of double and triple negatives.

Eventually. But he's got a long stop to make first.

I rarely hear people say "howdy". I know it's stereotypical for this area, but most people just don't use it. The exception might be "Real Texans", i.e. the men who wear cowboy boots and a bolo tie with their suit coat and blue jeans and carry a gun everywhere they go. And yes, those exist, I seen 'em.
"Y'all" - OK, this one is used so much, that I didn't even notice how often I said it until I moved to Utah and people started making fun of me for it.
"You bet'cha"? This ain't Minnesota.
They are referred to as "French fries", nobody says "taters".
"Ain't" Ehh, people here say it, but I heard it more when we lived in Georgia.
"Git" - What?
We once visited a church here, where, when in agreement with the preacher, the men would say "Yuuuup!" instead of "Amen!". True story. We never went back.
Occasionally, Mum says "I reckon" to mean "yes" when answering a "May I have/do...?" type question.
Double/triple negatives are more common in the Deep South than they are here, e.g. Georgia.

Long stop? That's... one way of putting it.

I need to go to the grocery store this morning. I need cheesecake ingredients, and I am also going to get a couple pumpkin empanadas for RG to eat when he gets here.

Cheesecake ingredients: obtained.
Pumpkin empanadas: obtained.
