1) You think your house should have curb appeal instead of road appeal.
2) Your first inclination is to walk to the neighbours. Not because you need the exercise, or want to save fuel, but so you don't have to find a parking spot.
3) You pace the produce aisle, longing for good fresh fruit and veggies, hoping you never forget what it really means.
4) You close your living room blinds at 6:30 in the morning, so that passing traffic doesn't see you doing your pilates. The cows might laugh at me!
5) You forget that you don't have cell service in most places in your house, and lose what precious bars you do have every time you touch your phone. For real. We only get minimal service at the far east side of our house. We literally have to lay with our heads on the head board under the window to get just 2 bars for any amount of time. For better luck, put it on speaker mode and DON'T touch it. 96% coverage in the province my behind.

Yeah, I'd forgotten how bad cell service was in PV until I went up for your wedding! I'm pretty sure Grandma's place has worse service than yours does.
6. You need something but can't just run to Walmart or the corner store. You just make do and wait until the list is long enough and it's time to go into town for the mail.
Also, some of the older cell phones that didn't take pictures, send text messages and download ringtones had better reception than many of the newer models.
QoWP - funny, given the grandparents' place is that much closer to the BR tower than we are...
Auntie EMC - so true!! You should see the length of my list for our trip to the city this weekend. Guaranteed I'll break traffic laws just to get through half of it.
7) You can't make your customary Christmas gift browsing trips on the way home from work, and must make immediate gift decisions because you won't be back for 2 weeks. Sigh.
You might still be a country girl if you have to open your blinds wide open so you can see outside unimpeded and never close your living room blinds, even at night.

You know you're a country girl when you keep straining to hear a cricket or bull frog croak and all you hear are planes and sirens!
