Agreed. :)
I lived in Boston for a good while (MIT, what whaaat) and was so glad to get my butt back to the south. Never saw anything like this in Boston. Closest was when some people from MIT rigged one of the construction flashy signs on Mass Ave to read "Harvard Sucks." lol
Wow. Haven't seen that anywhere in GA! Then again, I guess it depends on the area =].
I have lived in Southwestern Missouri before. Wow. There are some hick towns lemme tell ya. Walmart is full of mumu clad women and crocs. The walmart brand crocs
Well I don't consider many parts of Georgia as country at all, but what we have here is HEART. Incidentally I am originally from Memphis/No. Mississippi area and am used to the fact that we're southern. I feel I'm Southern by the grace of God and while I enjoy jaunts to other parts of the country (left coast and up north), I feel like I'm home and in my element when I am in the south. Once I went to Miami and was having breakfast at a popular spot (Miami is in SOUTH FL hello?) and the people all around me (the entire place basically) was from Jersey or NYC. The waitress asked me (in NYC accent) "You talk sooo cute, where are you from?" I said, I'm from the South. To me, in the south like here, YOU talk funny. This is the south ya know!! lol!
I love the fact that I'm less than an hour from the gorgeous mountains, great wineries (amazing brunches there), good hiking, and views in fall that would take your breath away. The fall festivals and apple picking is always a good time.
I also love the fact that the city of atlanta is less than 30 min away from me and I have so many great restaurants and attractions nearby that you could never get bored!
The GA coast about 4 hrs away is naturally gorgeous. Hanging moss in trees, historic places (who doesn't love Savannah? One of the most romantic cities imho) and just beautiful.
I'm blessed to be in GA. It's diversity as a state is amazing to me!
Haha--moving to the south is 90% in my future. That's something to look forward to! Glad you didn't get eaten!
My coworker moved here almost 5 yrs ago and was from Manhattan. She loved it here, was able to afford a really nice house (cheaper than in NYC) and so much space!
but I will NEVER forget when we went to the cafeteria at the hospital together for lunch. Lots of good ol' home cooking there. We had on the menu that day "greens and fried okra" as some of the vegetable sides. She looked at it and was like "Whaaaaat is that?"
She had never seen okra before and we made her eat it! She did like it though. She surmised her thoughts on our cooking as this: "You people down South will fry ANYTHING and make it taste good. Just dip it in ranch dressing." Lmao!
@ejs4y8- Walmart scares the CRAP out of me. (As do crocs and mumus, lol)
I don't see alot of mumus here. Nah.
In Hawaii you see them alot though.
I don't see a lot of mumu's either (I'm in Canton, GA) but the wal-mart near my house is a fright fest of epic proportions!
Mmmmm....fried okra....thanks Belle....now I'm gonna be thinking about that all day....lol.
I don't see mumus that often either, but just the fact that I know that they're out there... being worn... lol
Wait wait let me one up you my tall friend....
And let me one up you one more time :D
omg! can we track down the oreo car one? i need to shake that man's hand and ask him if he'll drive me around in my wedding dress. lol. i kid, i kid.
Try this one on for size! (I didn't take this pic, but I think it's from ATL)

I wonder what the copyright people of McDonald's would think about this. :p
Dang it, you guys have me homesick. I'd kill for some Chick fil A right about now.
Oh, laaaaaawd, I couldn't live somewhere that didn't have chikfila!!! You poor girl!
Ok. Here's the main reason why its gonna be good to bee a weddingbee here in GA-
THE FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC GREAT ATLANTA BEE PARTY WE'RE GONNA HAVE THIS FALL!
Whenever I'm somewhere that doesn't have Chick fil a, I crave it madly. But living here? I rarely eat it. :p
Oh wow that McD's car made me laugh out loud. :)
Chik-fil-a is the bomb diggity. I call their sweet tea "Crack tea" because you know they put something in it...no sir no regular tea could be that good...there's some "stuff" in it.
I love the south.
Me and my bridesmaid are going to Bridals By Lori next weekend for the Watters trunk show. Fun times!
And Bellenga what party?? I can make it to Atlanta in an hour and a half if I do my usual 80 mph lol!!
I'm going to Bridals by Lori next week to look at dresses. Which reminds me, I need to call both places we're going to make appointments. Scary.
Also, apparently I'm a strange southerner beacuse I HATE sweet tea. Love it sans sugar, however.
Oh my goodness I loooove sweet tea. Zaxby's and Chik fil a's are the best.
Yeah I have to call them today too lol! I had a dream last night that I called them and they were booked lol!
thecolorteale@ Check out the thread in ATL called the great atlanta bee party meetup! Of course we'd love you to come! Just be careful doin' your usual speed limit! It will be in September and the date will soon come!
I've also invited KateMW and her 'Bama bees over for the soiree also!
Gah when we were driving back home from ATL on Monday I couldn't do my usual speed. The PoPo were apparently trying to make their quota for the month or something. Every mile or so they had a semi pulled over or there was a cop waiting to pull someone over. It was crazy.
Oh and I would soooo love to go to a Bee Party!! :)
As a southern girl born in Alabama, grew up in Pennsylvania, moved to Florida in high school and have been almost a 20 year resident of Georgia...let me tell you...the cars that people drive here continue to crack me up and NEVER cease to amaze me!
PS-don't knock those crocs now! I wear scrubs to work (I teach sped) and crocs are the ONLY thing that keeps my feet from hurting at the end of the day-I have 'em in every color with the goofy socks to match (but they are the REAL crocs though!) I swear by them! Even my "good" walking shoes-my favorite Asics-don't make my feet feel as good as my crocs!
@ liztwinz- Ok, you're right about the crocs in that situation. I'll wear them on boats so I don't fall on my face. :) Or also in the kitchen cooking so I don't fry my back, but it's like being barefoot.
Crocs as a fashion statement just make me nervous.
My feet sweat a lot already...I couldn't imagine what it'd be like wearing crocs.
They're actually not hot, or at least the regular ones with holes aren't.
I swear last year the day of GA games I'd see tons of little girls (about 4) all wearing crocs in red and their little GA cheerleader outfits wherever I went!
By the way GA brides, did you see the latest post on when I went to paper source?
We are gonna have a blast at the ATL and GA bee Party! Right now the weekend of September 19th is the focus weekend but it will be either saturday or. sunday afternoon. Me thinks sunday may be better b/c of no SEC football games and a quieter day.
Don't like sweet tea? *faints*
How do you survive down here?LOL I think I hate GA sometimes, but then there is no other place I'd want to raise my future kids. :)
And those oreo and McD's cars? I saw a comedian talking about how they are advertising, but not getting paid.LOL. So true, because I saw a Skittles one recently and I wanted some....AND I hate skittles!LOL
LOL. It's hard being here and not liking sweet tea. I can't even count the number of luncheons/events I've been to where the only choices were water and sweet tea. Needless to say, I avoided the sweet tea. :)

I saw this little beaut parked in front of my eye doctor. WTF is this even supposed to mean? I laughed so hard, took a picture with my blackberry, and prayed that the psycho who owned this car wouldn't track me down and eat me.
