About Mrs. Zebra

The Way We Is

August 25th, 2010 @ 3:41 pm by Mrs. Zebra

Hokai so…you want to get to know who you are trying to get to know? I will give you the rundown of us (hopefully!) without the boring wedding website–esque vibe.

HIM

Zeb is the sexAY-ist man ever! He really enjoys a ruining a good picture with a silly face. His favorite things are his holey shoes, microbrew beer, occasional cigars, and sports. What drew me most to him was that he can see the good in people. I know! Boring, right? Seriously though, I’m pretty sure he does not have a single enemy. Not only does everyone gravitate toward his sunny attitude like flies on shit, but I’m pretty sure anyone he’s ever met would give him the shirt off their back if he needed it. He’s also amazingly athletic (according to his painfully un-athletic future wife). And mannnnnnn can he put down a cheeseburger, actually he can put down three to four in the time it takes me to enjoy half. Hopefully sometime in the near future we can add “fireman” to his resume without “volunteer” next to it. Very shortly he will start his shifts as an EMT. I might think I’ve died and gone to heaven if he rescued me. Hehe.

ME

Miss Zeeb here lurrrrrrves her sewing machine, Marshalls, and procrastinating on any and all things. Because of my procrastination self-diagnosis, I will find a million ways to complete a task without actually having to do it the right way. I’m a big fan of trashy reality TV (actually all forms of trashy TV), vodka—and beer and champagne and tequila and… The best compliment I’ve ever received was that I have an excellent sense of direction (thanks, Dad!). The simple things in life please me, like screaming at other drivers with the windows up, making other people’s ears bleed at a karaoke bar, or plopping my ass down on our beautiful couch. I’m lucky to be able to drive all over New England for my job and visit new people every day. I eat, breathe, and shit New England. Seriously…beach, history, mountains, seasons, what else is there?

US

We met in acting class in high school, which is silly because neither of us is really comfortable on stage. We were partnered up together, and I was quickly a fly hanging out on that shit. We had our first kiss watching Shrek, about to fall asleep in one of our future bridesmaid’s beds, at 16! Oh the horror! I am currently wardrobe supervisor and costumer for our old theatre company part time. This will be especially important for the proposal. Wink!

We love to be silly with each other. I really hope we never grow out of that “kids at heart” mentality because the day we stop credit carding each other up the stairs is the day we die a little. We both love having people over for some beers and Rock Band. Luckily, Zeb works at a packie (that’s New England for liquor store), and we always have the best selection of alcy in the house.

If you really want a good idea of who we are together, take a look at the pictures below. There are a million more I wanted to share and probably will…

If I were to categorize us as a trashy TV couple, it would have to be Liam and Naomi of 90210…except Zeb doesn’t have an anger issue and I don’t have a ton of money.

If he were to choose a couple for us, I am guessing he would go for Catelynn and Tyler of 16 and Pregnant. Aren’t they the frickin’ cutest?! We luckily made it out of our teenage years sans pregnancy. Go us!

If you were to trashy TV–ize yourself, who would you be?

So I live in TN now but Hubs and I are in Mass all the time because we grew up there and our family is there. Can we be friends in real life please? Because I think you’re spectacular.

Hmm.. I think we would be Ronnie and Sammie of Jersey Shore. Without the cheating, punching, giant muscles and tan.

Woohoo! Boy work really is getting in the way of the bee :). Anywho, thank you all for making my heart warm up.

@almostmrsg there will def be a meet up in the future! In the meantime, ya’ll can send me awesome ideas for places to have it.

@seashell: I must know the final verdict!

@Moose1209: we can totally be friends in real life, but your going to have to come to a meetup first because I am (unfortunately) slightly paranoid. :)

@peaches1038: I love it! Its weird to be thinking that soon we are going to be HOPING rather than preventing.

@kjwinter: Good one! How funny were they getting all nakey swim time in front of the cameras on their honeymoon. They are great together!

@pug: works like a charm, every time haha

@earrings: Now I’m going to have to add HIMYM to my DVR!

@jenbabe: ohhhh but the tan is soooooo sexy! I hope you are also without the IFF!

@galaxiepi: just you wait :)

Umm…. you sure say sh%t a lot… especially for an intro post. It’s weird that it’s weirding me out - I must be getting conservative or something! Just wondering why you do - most people who swear a lot in normal life would never do it on paper… so i’m a bit confused.

And the best bloggers have a better vocabulary.

You seem awesome, and I am seriously loving your vocabulary. I’m a diehard New Englander who recently moved to Georgia, and I so miss the tell-it-to-you-straight, vodka-drinking, shit-talkin’ ladies of my homeland. Southern girls are so polite! I can’t WAIT to read more of your posts!

I have to agree with kate, I love reading wedding bee, but it is so unbecoming, unladylike, low class and crass to be swearing so much. Is it because you can’t think of other similes or descriptions? Are you trying to win friends by seeming gritty and rude? What if your mother, grandmother, or future mother-in-law were to read this? Tsk tsk young lady.
