On the off chance that you haven’t noticed my crazily enthusiastic posts on any and every social media platform, I wanted to let y’all know: I have a really good reason to use the word ‘y’all’ now. I mean, I used it a lot before, but really didn’t have the justification. I’ve never been to the south, except for Florida, and I mean--does that even really count? 

(Okay, okay, obviously it does, but sheesh guys, let me have this moment, will you?)

So I have a real reason to use the word ‘y’all’ now. Because I’m going to Texas. Austin, to be specific.
