And there's "fixin' to", as in "I was just fixin' to call you". Preparing to do something requires assuring that you are "fixin' " to do it. People need assurance, you know.

I'm sure a few southern phrases and terms are all y'all can take at one time, so I will move on to a different subject: CHRISTOPHER! This is today's photo of him. He's growing so fast! And teething so his mom says he gets a little fussy sometimes, but it doesn't seem to be bothering him today. He's such a handsome boy.

Your English is improving every day!!! I appreciate your efforts and I enjoy your responses to my blog posts. Yes, Christopher is growing so fast. He doesn't look like he weighed 4 pounds, 10 ounces at birth! He's a big, strong, healthy boy. He'll be 7 months old on the 10th of May!
