What Kind of American English Do You Speak?

Guess I'm a bit of a mutt, in that my mom is from PA, my father from VA, I was born in DC, but moved to Long Island, NY, when I was 2, then back to VA when I was about 8, then went to school in MD and university in NJ, followed by 14 years in CA, and 7 years now overseas--5 in the UK--before marrying a man from TX and OK! Phew! Just not sure where the "Upper Midwestern" came from....? Maybe the few years my father spent as a child in MI??
