I Just Wait...

Don't mess with Matt Damon

2011-08-03T12:29:00.003-04:00

There have been many new things going on and slightly life changing events happening in my life, hence my absence from the blogging world for so long. I plan on coming back soon and picking up where I left off with the crazy misadventures in lovely Savannah. In the meantime... here is some Anderson Cooper to help you get through your day.

Xoxo.

6 More Weeks

2010-02-02T12:50:00.004-05:00

Punxsatawny Phil seems to predict that we will have 6 more weeks of winter. I think I am going to side with Staten Island Chuck who says we are in for an early spring. Chuck is more reliable with an accuracy rate of 76% over the past 26 years whereas Phil only has an accuracy rate of 39%.

I am so over this cold and dreary weather. Seriously, we live in Savannah. At most, winter lasts about 3 days here. I might as well be living in Seattle or something with this lame weather.

Keep your fingers crossed for an early spring!

Forgiveness

2009-10-27T11:38:00.001-04:00

Dear Father, forgive me for I have sinned. It has been 54 days since I last blogged.

Yes, I know. That is a long ass time. My apologies. Work has been taking up 85% of my time, and the other 15% has been filled with people coming in from out of town, or me traveling up to Atlanta. I swear, it is never ending.

Oh yeah, here is some exciting news. My little sister (who is 20) is pregnant. Normally, this would make anyone coo and be excited. Not me, or anyone in our family. See the thing is, she is 20, has no job, no actual place to call home (she is a bit of what you would call a drifter), has been know to do meth, amongst other drugs, and the father of the child is a druggie younger than her. So yeah, that has been a lot of fun. And she is convinced that she is going to raise the child and everything will be fine. In fact, she has quite the plan laid out. I think her plan consists of getting put on food stamps, and then getting set up with Medicaid, and then renting a trailer house behind the trailer she refers to as the drug house. However, she may be coming to her senses. She has mentioned that she may allow our foster parents to adopt the baby which would be the best thing for both her and the baby. Fingers crossed!

On another note, I was fortunate enough to hang out with Kat last Thursday night. How cool is that? I know you are all so very jealous. And Kat is even cooler in person than she is online! Hard to fathom, I know. I met up with Kat, Jess, Larkin, Master Wog, Bobby and Krystal downtown and totally rocked Blaine's. It was my first time at Blaine's and it is quite an awesome bar. Where else can you go with awesome karaoke and all you can drink beer for $10? So I have a shit ton (something like a metric ton, just more) of pictures to go through and post as well as some awesome video footage. I swear I will post these soon.

Up and coming events to look forward to: Halloween party at my house! (With lots of promise for some awesome stories and photos.)

I Am Honored!

2009-09-03T14:57:00.002-04:00

Look at what Jess left at my doorstep!

Apparently there are a few rules to adhere to with this award. I will try my best...

First, link back to the person who gave you the award.

JESS

Next, give the award to 10 other bloggers.

This is going to be challenging because I do not know very many people on here and a lot of the people I would like to send it to, I think Jess has already given it to them. Oh well, they will just have it twice!

1. Larkin - Because she rocks like that.

2. Jess - Because she gave it to me, and now she will have been awarded it 3 times!

3. Sunshine - Because I love reading her blog and admiring her photos.

4. Organic Meatbag - Because we share a mutual hatred for Rachel Ray.

5. Kat - Because she started the "Dear So and So" series and I love it!

6. Lilligirl - Because she rocks and saves doggies.

7. Ivy - Because she is funny as hell and needs to write a new blog already!

8. Mama Dawg - Because she is awesome.

9. Captain Dumbass - Because he has the most random and entertaining blog ever.

10. Trooper Thorn - Because he gives me something to look forward to on fridays... Demotivational Friday!

Ha! I think that covers the whole 10 blogs I am following right now!

Third, list 10 honest things about yourself.

1. I am half Hungarian and half Italian.

2. I am super passionate about animals.

3. I wanted to be a forensic pathologist when I was in high school. (Before CSI and all that crap came out.) But my fear of death kicked in and kinda put a stop to that ambition.

4. I am a pastafarian. RAmen!

5. 311 is my favorite band. Ever.

6. Three things run in my family: Alcoholism, Bi-Polar disorder, and Cancer. Luckily I have not acquired any of these. Yet.

7. My grandmother was super smart, and an alcoholic. She did everything from running a small magazine publication in Florida to running an escort service, to being the secretary for the Ambassador of the Republic of Chad. After she died, my mom found the original invitation to the funeral of John F. Kennedy! It has the official presidential seal and everything.

8. I have one younger sister. Her and I couldn't be more different.

9. I have one dog, Pullo, and 2 cats, Daisy and Henry. All 3 are spoiled beyond belief, and Henry is a binge eater.

10. And lastly... Wild Wing Cafe is my most favorite place to eat and hang out.

Drunken Downtown Debauchery

2009-08-18T23:03:00.000-04:00

Last Friday night was an exciting one. It was full of beer, tequila, and of course, karaoke! The night started and finished at Bay Street Blues. My friend Erica was in town from Atlanta for the weekend, and we met up with Jess, Larkin, Krystal, and a couple other friends.

Mothra Attacks!

2009-08-12T11:55:00.014-04:00

As I was getting ready for bed last night, I let Pullo out like always to go potty. I went to let him in, and a big HUGE luna moth comes rushing in. Right away, my cat Daisy pounces on it and starts tearing up its wings. It flails about and manages to land on top of the folding doors to my laundry room. By this time I am thoroughly freaked out. I grab a stool and try to get a better look at it, and this is when I notice just how BIG and hairy it is. I have no problem with your normal everyday moth, I can catch those and get them out of my house. This thing was bigger than my palm. So here I am running through my house screaming every time it comes near me. I called a friend who live about 15 minutes away to see if they would come save me since the hubby was at work, and all they could do was laugh hysterically at me.

After another 20 minutes of him trying to fly through my house and my cats chasing after him, he finally got tired and laid down on the laundry room floor. I ran over to the kitchen and grabbed a lid to a pot and put it over the moth. I left him there until the hubby got home and was able to take him outside. Surprisingly, he was still alive.

This is not the moth that was in my house, but if you click on the photo you can see just how hairy this thing is!

The luna moth is pretty from a distance, but not when it is tyring to break into your house and rape you in the middle of the night.

I am 99.9% sure that he is a direct descendant of Mothra. (And this is pretty close to what it felt like last night when he ran into the house to attack me.)

I was jumpy all night after that. Every light touch I felt, I thought it was Mothra coming to get me.

Dear So and So... I'm Not A Fan

2009-08-07T12:30:00.005-04:00

Dear Boss Man,

If I hear Poker Face by Lady Gaga one more time, I am going to punch someone in the face.

Respectfully, Mitzy

****************

Dear Bowling Alley,

I just want to say thank you for always having plenty of clean new socks. I seem to have a memory problem and I can never remember to bring socks from home. I think I have 4 pairs of socks from you now, and I am sure I will be acquiring more since I can't remember shit. I can remember to bring my ball and my shoes, but my socks never seem to make it.

Extremely Grateful, Mitzy

****************

Dear Little Sister,

Please leave your deadbeat boyfriend. He is now in jail for the second time since you have been with him. When you met him, he was just released from prison. He is on probation in not 1 but 2 counties. His father just got put in jail, again. His cousin just got shot by some random girl at a party and died. You are the only individual amongst the 8 people living in his aunt's trailer that actually has a job and your income is supporting all of these dead beats. You are better than this.

Love you, Sis

****************

Dear Kathy Griffin,

You are one of the best comediennes ever. When I am down or super stressed out, you never cease to fail at making me laugh hysterically while watching your show on Bravo. Keep on with the dick jokes!

A Straight Fan, Mitzy

P.S. Please come to Atlanta or Savannah soon!

****************

Dear Stomach,

I know you are hungry, but do you really have to be so loud? I promise, we will be leaving soon to grab some food.

Settle Down, Mitzy

A Sad Day

2009-08-04T09:36:00.010-04:00

Last Thursday on my way home from my bowling league around 10:30 at night, I was driving down a back road and happened across a stray German Shepherd. He was pretty emaciated and had some bad mange. I ended up taking him home for the night and in the morning I planned on dropping him off at the humane society (that wouldn't kill him). As it turns out, the humane society doesn't take in stray animals, they only take owner surrendered pets. So luckily, my friend Bobby knows a girl who rescues dogs and also works at an animal hospital. I got word that she was willing to take him in, and I drove right over to drop him off. He stayed the weekend there, but after the vet ran some tests and x-rays it was determined that he was in really bad shape.

He was only about 2 years old, and had really bad hips. So bad that he would require a surgery that costs around $9,000 - $10,000. Not to mention that his ACL is torn, and the really bad mange that would require some intense medication. All of this coupled with the fact that he is only two makes it that much worse. Since he is so young, the pain he is in will only get worse as he gets older even with the surgery. In the end, the most humane thing to do is to put him to sleep.

For the condition he was in, he was still super sweet. He wasn't skittish at all, and well behaved. He didn't really like to be touched other than on his head because the mange was so bad which made it uncomfortable for him, but he loved the attention. He would've made the best pet.

So here is a shout out to the giant shepherd with a big heart.

You will be in good company with Larkin's mom, Vader, Syber Kitty, Dr. Binks, Mattaoe, Bayah and MJ.

Dear So and So... Part Deux

2009-07-24T09:00:00.011-04:00

Dear Biological Father,

I appreciate all of your calls and emails from afar. However, seeing as how I haven't answered or responded in well over 6 months, I would think that you would have gotten the point by now. But worry not, we will be seeing each other soon. A lot sooner than you realize, and in a not so cozy setting.

(Insert Evil Laughter Here), Your Biological Daughter

************

Dear Hubby,

You are no longer allowed to touch me on bowling league night. You stole my mojo last night and I want it back!

Kisses, Mitzy

************

Dear Pullo,

The big large bed that you like to sleep in belongs to me. This is my domain. I will share my bed with you so that I may cuddle up next to you anytime. Keep this in mind the next time you growl at me because I accidentally touched you or woke you up because your ass is getting kicked off the bed.

Grrrrrrrrrrr, Mommy

************

Dear Mother Nature,

I just wanted to say thank you for making this summer somewhat tolerable. The heat has been bearable for the most part and I think we have even had a few days where the humidity was actually less the 80%! Now, if you would just do something about these mosquitoes and sand gnats, I would be eternally grateful.

Sincerely, Mitzy

************

Dear Miley,

I know this may sound a bit selfish, but I would love it if you could hurry up filming your movie and leave now. I'd like to be able to go out to Tybee without the fear of being trampled on by a flock of tweens trying to hunt you down. I appreciate that you have encouraged tourism (and by tourism I mean your stalkers following you) which in turn will help the economy in Savannah. However, my friends and I are over due for a beach day.

Impatiently, Mitzy

Never Ending Summer

2009-07-23T14:54:00.006-04:00

This weekend I will once again be driving my happy butt up to Atlanta for some lake action and another concert. And I suppose I will be visiting family too.

Guess who I am going to see this weekend.

I will give you just a minute....

Yes, that's right. Tool!

Dear So and So....

2009-07-17T11:51:00.012-04:00

I am going to give this a shot...

Dear Orange Cat Named Henry,

I have a great appreciation for your ability to play fetch, and your desire to do it all. the. time. However, when I am laying in bed at 2 a.m., I really don't feel like throwing the catnip mouse down the hall for you. No matter how loud you meow at me or how many times you drop the mouse by my face, it's not happening.

Awake & Grumpy,

Mitzy

*************

Dear Pullo (my spoiled rotten human like dog),

I wish you a very happy birthday. You are now 3 years old! It's amazing how it feels like it was just yesterday that I picked you up and took you home for the first time. You were the greatest and fluffiest puppy ever. So in celebration, I picked up a 6 pack just for you.

Love you,

Your Mom

****************

Dear Hubby,

I also wish you a very happy birthday. I hope you enjoy the boat seats I bought for you. Now if we can just speed things along and get the boat finished and in the water, I would be ever so grateful. Now that it is over 100 degrees with the heat index, I would say now is the time to be playing in the water.

Love,

Your Impatient but Loving Wife

****************

Dear Starbucks at the Savannah Mall,

Please hire more people. I don't think it is acceptable for me to have to wait an eternity for a shaken tea lemonade thing. Seriously, I think I almost died from dehydration just waiting on my icy cold beverage.

Thirsty,

Mitzy

****************

Dear Mosquitoes,

One day I am going to find a way to rid the world of you all. I have had it. I am not the only human around that tastes good. I don't appreciate being picked out of a group of people and being attacked. I know you may find this hard to believe, but big red welts aren't attractive. Leave me and my blood alone.

Itching like crazy,

Mitzy

****************

Dear Kat,

Thanks for getting me hooked on your blog, and I have finally accomplished my own Dear So and So!

You Rock,

Mitzy

A Quarter Of A Century Has Come And Gone

2009-07-02T12:15:00.003-04:00

It is amazing how time flies right past us, isn't it?

I realize that 25 isn't exactly "old", but I most definitely feel like I am becoming old. It seems like it was just a few months ago and I was graduating high school, determined to dominate the world. But alas, here I am. Still a pawn in this game called life.

In other news, I will be hanging out in the 7th row of the 311 concert this 4th of July in Atlanta!

I. Can't. Freaking. Wait!

Everyone, have a safe and happy 4th of July!

Smells Like Teen Spirit

2009-06-29T21:27:00.007-04:00

This is a recap of our fun filled weekend that began Friday night after work. This post will have to be broken down into multiple posts to encompass all the photos and video that were taken this night.

To start off, we have a clip of an attorney singing Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana.

The night continued with some more drinks and more karaoke.

More to come...

Summa Time!

2009-06-21T23:08:00.007-04:00

So summer is officially here, and what better way to celebrate than by going to the beach!

Pullo LOVES the water. (Especially when it is 102 degrees outside.)

We are going to make Pullo into a surfing dog.

I attempted to surf for the first time.

And here is Pullo on the way home, all tuckered out. Doesn't he look so pathetic?

REMINDER: Friday is National Take Your Dog To Work Day!!!!

The Water Volcano

2009-06-17T22:13:00.004-04:00

We are on day 3 of the water volcano that is outside my window at work. There have been a couple people from city maintenance come by to look at it, but nothing has been done to fix it. Since Monday, it has gotten quite a bit worse. Instead of 1 stream of water shooting up, there are about 4 or 5.

With as hot as it has gotten down here, it is slightly tempting to run outside and jump through it a couple times. No one would notice, I'm sure.

In this photo, you can't really tell just how high the water is reaching.

This is a better angle. As you can see, the water is reaching the 2nd floor.

For your viewing pleasure, here is a clip that I took from inside my office.

I can't wait to see how it looks tomorrow!

It's Getting Hot In Here!

2009-06-17T11:26:00.004-04:00

The official first day of summer is Sunday June 21st, which is also Father's Day. I think that summer has already started, especially with this weekend forecast.

I don't think I will be doing any yard work this weekend.

Anyone have a pool I can play in?

There Is A Blow Hole Outside My Window

2009-06-16T09:45:00.006-04:00

And I am pretty sure it shouldn't be there.

Yesterday when I came into work, I heard a noise outside my window. So I go to take a peep outside, and there is a stream of water jetting out of the ground. At first I figured it was just a broken sprinkler, until I remembered that there aren't any sprinklers here.

We are going on the 2nd day of having this "water fountain" outside, and it seems to have gotten bigger overnight. The stream of water shoots up about 12 feet in the air right now, high enough to touch the 2nd floor windows. I am pretty sure that I am going to come into work later this week, and there will either be a sinkhole next to my office, or there will be a large construction crew working on it. Either way, it should be exciting.

I Bet You 10 Cents That I Will Whoop Your Ass!

2009-06-14T17:34:00.016-04:00

That's right, I am going to raise you 10 cents. That's how confident I am about my hand.

So this weekend was much fun. It included lots of beer, someone getting tattooed, and a poker game. I started off my weekend right for once. I met up with Jess and Krystal at the Wild Wing Cafe for some yummy wings and beer. After getting my fix of some very delicious wings, we walked around downtown for a bit. They took me to The Rail, which is a bar that is supposed to be super haunted, but it is very cool. They even allow dogs!

Her name was Molly.

While we were having another beer and snacking on peanuts, I bet Jess that she couldn't hold a peanut in her knee. She proved me wrong. (See the other things she can hold in her knee here.)

While we were at The Rail, Jess pointed out that they have Helium Karaoke! Now why the hell didn't we think of this sooner! I can't think of any other 2 words that go so naturally together. We plan on attending in a couple weeks, so there will be an exciting blog post to look forward to then.

We left that bar to go to the tattoo shop where Krystal is getting her new ink. It is quite a masterpiece. Here she is before, looking at the drawing of the tattoo.

Lines + Shading

Around 5:00, I had to leave my ladies and drive out to Rincon for a high stakes poker game. And by high stakes, I mean there was a $5 buy in. This was my first poker game. I have watched several of the World Series Poker Tours, but playing it is totally different. But I am happy to report that out of 6 people I came in 3rd. Not bad for my first try, right?

Things to look forward to in the weeks to come...

- Helium Karaoke

- Turning a quarter of a century old

- 311 Concert

- Tool Concert

A Lazy Rainy Weekend

2009-06-07T22:44:00.005-04:00

Whoever says Georgia is still in a drought is out of their mind. I swear it has been raining for 2 weeks straight now. Ok, maybe not straight since we did go to the beach last weekend, but this is really getting old.

Plus, the rain just gives me another reason to stay curled up in bed with the animals and watch cartoons all weekend. At least I am not the only one that turns into a lazy bum during the dreary weather.

See for yourself...

It is completely unnatural for Ronnie to be inside and doing nothing on the weekend. He is ALWAYS outside working on the boat or some other project. I kept asking him if something was wrong, to which he responded "I feel like being lazy."

At least I will be well rested for the busy week ahead.

Bitches love me!

2009-05-27T10:42:00.003-04:00

I was browsing Etsy, and I came across some really awesome handmade dog tags. And there was one in particular that just made me laugh.

I think I might just have to get this one for Pullo. You can find it here.

Just thought I would share that with all you dog lovers.

A Texas Wedding

2009-05-23T18:48:00.008-04:00

Ok, I am a bit slow in posting this, but this is from the weekend of May 14th through the 17th.

Ronnie and I flew out of Atlanta to Dallas, TX, and made the 2 hour drive to Longview, TX. The reason for our trip? My niece (Ronnie's sister's oldest daughter) was getting married on Saturday 05/16. The last time we went to Longview was for Thanksgiving. Also, the younger niece gave birth the day before Thanksgiving to a beautiful baby boy.

So, there isn't much to do in Longview. It isn't geographically interesting, it looks a lot like Georgia. I prefer the Hill Country part of Texas or even West Texas. But going to see family makes the trip well worth it. While some people don't care much for their in-laws, I love them. I felt like I was part of the family straight away.

But, here are some highlights from our trip and the wedding:

(Some of the photos were taken by me, other were taken by various people at the event.)

My niece Jeanna (the bride) and her daughter Lexi.

The Bridal Party

A look at my outfit

I am usually the one behind the camera, so I don't have a lot of photos of myself, but I think this is a good one.

The girls acting tough, and the men holding the flowers.

The ceremony

Look closely, and you will see he is holding a ring pop!

So sweet...

My wedding gift to them: Custom koozies!

And they lived happily ever after...

The End.

Randomness

2009-05-19T14:54:00.006-04:00

I was tagged by Jess and Larkin to do this...

What are your current obsessions?

Let's see...

My puppy dog Pullo,

Chowder (I love this show),

311

and sour patch kids.

What’s for dinner?
I am planning on having some Papa Johns tonight. Pepperoni and mushroom please!

What is your greatest fear at the moment?
Ummm... DEATH. (Hence the thanatophobia.) I think that is always my greatest fear, followed by Ronnie joining the Army.

What are you listening to?
311!

What are your favorite holiday spots?
My parent's house for most holidays. For the summer holidays, it would either be the beach or the lake.

What are you reading right now?
The Ultimate Book of Useless Information (Did you know that squirrels can not carry or get rabies?)

What is your guilty pleasure?
Double Doozie cookies at the Great American Cookie Co. *drooling*

Who or what makes you laugh?
My boss, he is a damn riot. And Jess, Larkin, and Magan are pretty good at making me laugh with the random shit they say.

What is your favorite Spring thing to do?
Start going to the beach, (I agree Jess!) or the lake. I am ready for some water skiing!

Where are you planning to travel next?
If you asked a week ago, it would've been Texas. But seeing as how I just returned from there yesterday, I will say either Montrose, Colorado or Miami, Florida.

What is the best thing you ate or drank lately?
Fresh home made flour tortillas at a mexican restaurant in Texas.

When was the last time you were tipsy?
Saturday night, after my niece's wedding in Texas. (At a western bar/club. I even line danced!)

What is your favorite ever film?
It is hard to pin down just one film... but one of my top favorites is Monty Python's The Holy Grail. (The Princess Bride rocks too. Inconceivable!)

What is the biggest life lesson you’ve learned from your kids?
I don’t have any kids and I count that as a lesson in and of itself. (I agree Jess.) I will also add that I think I have learned to not take myself or life too seriously, and to enjoy the small things in life, like chewing on sticks or sliding around on hardwood floors.

What book do you know you should read but refuse to?
I don't think that there is a book out there that I SHOULD read but REFUSE to.

What is your physical abnormity/abnormal physical ability?
I think that would probably be the scar that is on my knee. I cut it on an air vent when I was in 3rd grade. Then some punk ass girl tripped me in class and made me fall which in turn made my stitches rip apart. Wasn't a pretty sight.

What is your favorite color?
Green

Can the people outside your car hear the music playing inside your car?
Oh hell yeah they can. I totally rock out to some Tool or 311 in my car. But when I get to a red light, I usually turn it down to be nice.

In a perfect world, how many hours sleep would you get per night?
10-14 hours. I, like Jess and Larkin, LOVE to sleep. It's the best thing ever. Especially when you have the rotten animals all curled up around you.

And since I can't tag Larkin or Jess... I guess I will tag... Ivy!

As The Tide Turns

2009-05-11T22:28:00.012-04:00

As many of you may or may not know, I am not by any means a morning person. So this last saturday i decided to sleep in.... until 12:00 in the afternoon. It was magnificent! All curled up under the covers with all the rotten animals curled up around me with cartoon network on in the background. (No I don't have any kids, I like cartoon network, even if I am 24.)

So I finally decide to slowly drag myself out of bed and into the shower. Meanwhile, the husband has already been up since 9:00 a.m. working on the boat in the lovely humid heat that is Savannah. When I get out of the shower, I have a missed call and a text from Jess. She was wanting us to come join her, Krystal, Bobby, and their friend Stephanie out at Tybee. Me being the procrastinator I am, I decide to take me time getting ready, getting something to eat, etc. So finally around 3:00 we leave the house to make the 45 minute trek out to Tybee Island. Parking was a nightmare because apparently everyone likes to go to the beach when it is warm and sunny outside. (Who would of thought?) After finally finding the only remaining parking spot on the south end of the island, and making the hundred mile walk to the pier where Jess was set up, we make it.

Little did I know, Jess had acquired front row seats to the best drama on the island! I'm telling you, what was going on during Saturday's episode could've easlily rendered several daytime emmys. We have dubbed the show "As the Tide Turns", starring 6-8 army guys and their classy ladies. To set the stage, these folks were at the beach before Jess and her posse arrived around 1:00. Along with coolers of beer and a radio, they also brought and octabong.

Luckily, I came prepared and brought along my camera. Jess was the videographer. (So you can blame her for all the shaking.)

For your viewing pleasure, here are a couple videos clips:

They finally noticed us and the camera after a couple hours of filming... but didn't seem to care.

Here are some photos from the afternoon. (I know they aren't nearly as entertaining as the video clips.)

Jess giving kite flying lessons

Bobby

Me, enjoying the show

Bobby about to smack Krystal's ass

The live audience

Hooray for beer & free entertainment!

Crack is whack!

Doggie Carnival '09!

2009-05-04T22:06:00.012-04:00

I kicked off my weekend with a hair date with Larkin. We went to our favorite hair stylist ever, Kim, and had a glass of wine while Kim went to town on our hair. Then we proceeded downtown to The Wing for some wings, a buffarella and some delicious Yuengling, followed by some refreshing gelato. While I don't have any photos of my new look, I did capture one of Larkin before the end of our date.

Sunday was the Doggie Carnival in beautiful Forsyth Park. Pullo, Ronnie and I started our day meeting up with Kim (the best hair stylist ever) and her little man, Teddy, and strolling through all the festivities. We checked out all the cool vendors, and we even acquired 2 free frisbees! (Pullo's favorite.) After making our rounds, we met up with Larkin and Paul and their 3 dogs, Kane, Duke, and the lovely lady Roxy. Jess and Krystal were with them as the official beer transporter and dog walker. (They even brought the super kick ass wagon.) We finished off the day relaxing with some content pups under the beautiful hundred year old live oaks.

Here are some highlights:

They had a doggie derby...

A Watering Hole...

And all the dogs you could ever want to love on...

Yes... I know. I am a total slacker. I keep trying to set aside a few minutes to do up a new post, but something always has to pop up and interrupt me. If it isn't my dog Pullo ramming his nose into my arm wanting attention, or one of the cats walking up and laying down on the keyboard, then it's Ronnie walking in covered in bouyancy foam and cursing because he poured too much foam in the boat and didn't cut enough holes in the wood for the foam to expand.

So, in the last week not much has happened. Ronnie has started his bowling league that meets evert Thursday night with 3 of his co-workers. I have managed to break my high score hula hooping on the Wii. (I finally got 4 stars bitches!) Oh, and Ronnie has the awesome job of going on a test flight with Gulfstream to England. (fucker.) He is due to leave on Wednesday sometime, and fly into Lutton, England. No one is quite sure how long they will be there for, but he should be back Thursday or Friday. As long as no one breaks the plane that is. But Ronnie is quite excited as most of us would be. He told me yesterday it isn't so much going to England that he is looking forward to, it's writing on his facebook page "I'm cruisin' in my G450 to England!" Not that he likes to gloat or anything.

Anywho, I will be left to tend to the animals and go to work. Oh, and I get to make a complete fool of myself while I fill in for him on his bowling league. Yeah, it's been well over a year since the last time I went bowling, and... uh... well... I didn't do so well. So I guess I will just drink down a couple beers and have at it. At least the guys will have something to talk about when they go to work the next day.

As for this weekend, I finally had a weekend where I had no plans whatsoever. So I decided to be lazy. I slept til noon, cleaned the house some, played on the Wii, and went to bed. Ooooh! But I did get some new sheets, and they are so super soft. I love them. I guess that makes for a perfect weekend, right? New Sheets + Sleeping Late + Cuddling With Rotten Animals = Happy Mitzy!

Pullo doesn't need new soft comfy sheets to be comfortable though. No. He just needs me!

Did I mention that he is rotten?

It's windy up in here...

Since my first post looks so lonely up here, I decided I will try and squeeze in another session.

Let me introduce my husband, Ronnie. He is a super fun guy who has 2 emotions: excited (usually exhibited while wakeboarding, rock climbing, skydiving, etc.) and super pissed off (a good indicator is when you here the phrase "goddammit motherfucker" followed by a loud thud in the garage.) Ronnie has an obsession with projects, and he is quite the adrenaline junkie. If he isn't working on a project, he is mountain biking, rock climbing, wake boarding, or pushing me out of a plane. Speaking of planes, he is a private pilot and learned to fly when he was about 7 years old due to the fact his father would put him in charge of flying while he went and slept in the back seat of the plane since he was drunk. And no, I am not kidding.

Ronnie and I met at a nudist colony in sunny Florida, or at least that is what we like to tell people when we feel it is inappropriate to tell them the truth, that we met online. Yes, we met online. It was though a very sophisticated place. You may have heard of it, match.com? Ha! I thought I saw your picture on there too! We just crossed our 4 year mark of our 1st date. We went and saw Sin City, and afterward he kissed me in the parking lot in the rain. How romantic, right? Six months later we move in together in this old house in Marietta while he was working at Lockheed Martin, and about 5 months later he was laid off (gotta love unions, right?). We moved out to San Antonio for 2 months until he was offered a job here in Savannah. So here we are!

I consider Ronnie to be my best friend and my comfort blanket. We argue over dumb shit like any couple, but the sex is still incredible and that is all that counts! And I totally give him props for putting up with my overly anxious OCD ass.

Here is a nifty tid bit of info... I am an over thinker. I am one of those people that you meet who is reserved when you first meet them, but once I warm up to you you can't get me to shut up. That is because I spend so much time in my head, that once I get an outlet it is like a raging sewage drain after a hurricane. This is part of the reason I decided to finally start a blog, in the hopes that it will help relieve some of the backed up crap in my head that I need to get out. (Colorful analogy isn't it?)

Greetings from Slo-vannah.

To introduce myself, I am Michelle aka Mitzy (that is if you knew me before 2nd grade when I decided I wanted to be grown up and known by my real name). I am a Georgia native, born and raised in Cherokee County. I moved down here to Savannah almost 3 years ago. I am married to a rather emotionally flat man with one wonderfully rotten dog and 2 emotionally unstable cats. I come from a very colorful past and have a family that will confuse the hell out of anyone trying to understand.

I was in fact pressured to create a blog by my wonderful whoremonger buddies, Larkin and Jess. I love them. And for any of you who aren't familiar with the Hungarian language, erős means strong. And yes, I am Hungarian. To be precise, I am half Hungarian (by my biological father whom I won't refer to as my dad), a quarter Italian (maternal grandfather), 1/8th Polish and 1/8th Iroquois Indian. I know you probably didn't care enough to read all about that, but guess what? You did. But back to the name of the blog, erős is very accurate for what I am.

I have am a bit OCD and a full blown Thanatophobic. I love my Tequila and Yuengling, I have some kick ass friends, and I enjoy my job. I love photography and I try aspire to be a photographer one day.

I hope that is enough for my first post. Ciao!
