Dream vacation?!

I love a good Deliverance reference.  I think it is because whenever I watch the movie I feel like I am back home.  I mean, my parents neighbor bears a striking resemblance to the man  in overalls, you can hear banjos playing in the distance at night, and I sat next to the albino kid my senior year of study hall.  Oh, how I wish I was kidding.

My hubby and I got the lucky gift from my m-i-l of three nights and four days of child free bliss.  We decided to head to Put-in-Bay and Marblehead.  We opted for the homey feel and relaxation of two different Bed and Breakfasts.  The first was what you see pictured below.

We hopped on the ferry and headed to the islands.  We got off the ship and hitched a ride on the taxi bus thingy.  We advised the driver of where we are staying and off we went. 
Sidenote: I looked super-duper cute in my skort, sparkly sunglasses and shinny silver sandals.  Sadly, it appeared I overdressed for the occasion.

As we pull it (we are the first stop), I hear the girl behind me say: "OMG!  Is someone really staying here?!"  I follow up with the classic: "Oh why, yes.  Me!"
Damn it.

I will let the photos do the talking:


I guess Christmas is early this year.  Too bad Santa didn't bring a new door frame.  Oh, and this is the front door of the fabulous establishment in which we stayed.


The view from our room.  Romantic, isn't it?

The rear-view mirror on the golf cart we rented.  I am sure this is totally road legal.

The rotting jeep and truck filled with garbage right next to our golf cart parking.

The fridge that is supposedly stocked with breakfast, snacks and drinks.

Turkey anyone?


Thank God the room was clean and we had a private bath.  I simply told Rob: "If I hear banjos or pigs, we are fucking outta here." *

Random Funny Shit Photo Ops

As you have all come to realize, my life truly is filled with random funny shit. 
It is even better when that random funny shit is able to photographed and shared!
Here are some of my favorites:

The smoking scooter riding Rageddy Ann I saw at Giant Eagle: (This story is just priceless.  Check out my facebook page for the complete details!)


This "sale" sign was posted in front of the cemetery near my home.  I guess Buy One Get One Free is popping up all over the place nowadays.



My husband and I went to an indoor football game* and this was my view:


For the record, I hate Rha-Rha's!*  And this one stood there for at least 20 minutes.  I will not tell a lie, I was very tempted to kick her and watch her roll down the steps.  Bwhahahaha.  Damn Skinny Bitches.*

This was last summer/early autumn when we were under attack from the midges.  I swear there were enough that some mornings I would sweep them into piles.



I love it when I get funny text photos.  Nothing says "Happy [insert holiday here]" like this kinda stuff:

And nothing like Wal-mart - an entertaining trip each time you shop!  Screw selling for less, I go just to laugh.
This was the random weave I found there:


Where I grew up we bought candy bars, cigarettes*, and pop from vending machines.  Now, you can purchase pimple cream, too.


And who doesn't want to own a Terminator Puppy:


Since my life is full of this kind of great stuff, I will keep updating!
*As if going to football outdoors in all kinds of weather and watching it on TV wasn't enough.
*AKA Cheerleaders
*See previous blog post titled Skinny Bitches in order to completely understand my feelings.
*And, no, this is not my ass.
*I think the bar in town still has the cigarette vending machine.
