Whatcha Doin'?

Heading to the beach in a little while. I have to wait for Radio Shack to open so I can carry my phone by for some quick (I hope) repairs. It seems that the charger won't fit into that tiny space necessary for charging. This is a new phone and I hate to have problems already. Hopefully, it will be something minor. I believe we will be having a hot vacation but one the children will enjoy. I'm looking forward to this quality time together too.

Last night, I was thinking about different expressions that we use here in the south, ones that really don't mean what we are actually saying or asking. One in particular, that comes to mind is one we use on the phone for anyone, "Whatcha doin'?" Now, I don't really want to know what the person on the other end of the phone is really doing; what I'm actually asking is "How are you doing?". Why I don't ask that, I really don't know. I need to start trying to ask what I want to know because someone could get offended with that question, especially if they are doing something they don't want me to know about, right? Gotta run now, so will let you know what I've been doing on Monday. I'm not sure there will be any WiFi available there or not. If so, I'll be in touch.
