YOU KNOW YOU'RE A FLORIDIAN IF...

You know you're a Floridian if...

You've deemed your socks are only for bowling.
You never use an umbrella because you know the rain will be over in five minutes.
A good parking place has nothing to do with distance from the store, but everything to do with shade.
You can tell the difference between fire ant bites and mosquito bites.
Anything under 70 degrees is chilly.
You know that no other grocery store can compare to Publix.
Every other house in your neighborhood had blue roofs in 2004-2005.
You know that anything under a Category 3 hurricane just isn't worth waking up for.
You dread love bug season.
You know what a "snowbird" is and when they'll leave.
You think a six-foot alligator is actually pretty average.
'Down South' means Key West.
Flip-flops are everyday wear. Regular shoes are for business meetings and church
You have a drawer full of bathing suits, and one sweatshirt.
You get annoyed at the tourists who feed seagulls.
A mountain is any hill 100 feet above sea level.
You know the 4 seasons really are: hurricane, love bug, tourist and summer.
You can pronounce Okeechobee and Kissimmee.
You understand why it's better to have a friend with a boat than have a boat yourself.
You've worn shorts and used the A/C on Christmas and New Years.You can't wait to get home to Indiana so that you can sun next to a pool without a cage over it again. (Just had to throw that one in there too) Wink Wink! ;-)

I love life as a Floridian. Indiana will always be home to me. Always. But daily life by the sea is such a gift.
