WE FEST

Well I just got back from We fest. For you who do not know of We Fest, it is a three day concert with all the big names in country music. 55,000 people were in attendance this year. I guess it was a new record. Everyone camps out in a giant field and pretty much gets drunk and act stupid. I fortunately got to camp with some not so stupid drunk people who think the only purpose in life is to get wasted and try to see boobs. So I had a good time. I left last Wednesday and then returned Sunday afternoon. Now lets get one thing straight I am not a fan of country. I am a rock girl through and through. I dislike country so much that when Jenn and I use to cruse around town in high school and college she automatically knew to turn off the country music and turn on some rock. So not being a country music fan I decided that I would try it and perhaps will come home like country. It didn’t happen. I watched… Taylor Swift, Kenny Chesney, Rascal Flatts, Little Big Town, Brad Paisley. Nope none of them turned me. I enjoyed my self at the concerts but not for the music, more for the conversation and people watching. One of the highlights at the fest was who I was camping with. I camped with Jim and Ashley ( who are getting married this weekend and I’m in their wedding) and their family. We had about 30 people in our camp. They all had RV’s and parked them in a giant circle so no campers could penetrate our camp. Then we all stretched out in the little field we made with our circle. We had screen tents, cooking area, tables, chairs, canopies, yard games of every proportion. It was fabulous, but the best thing of all every camper or mini group took a meal. Either breakfast or dinner. We all took turns making only one meal. Ours was the first night we made lasagna for everyone and then the rest of the long weekend we got to enjoy everyone else’s. This was no crappy cheap camping food. This was the real deal… breakfast burritos, fajitas, jambalaya, egg bakes, roast beef sandwiches, chicken stir-fry. We even made a couple of amazing Waps (I don’t know how to spell it, tons of fruit soaking in booze). It was awesome never having to worry about a meal. Best idea ever. By sat I was ready to go home. It was sunny and 85 the whole weekend. I can’t complain it was nice and never any bugs and I didn’t get a sun burn thanks to my handy cowboy hat. I had an awesome time but wouldn’t go back. Next summer I am going to rock fest, which is just like we fest maybe a little smaller but not much. Then I will know all the words. It was definitely worth it though even though I am not a country girl. Well I just got back from We fest.

Life

Wow, oops… Been a while. I’m sorry so so sorry.

RECAP:
My boyfriend is almost complete in siding his house. Yea! Then he can stop talking about his projects. Haha!
I am going to we-fest!! My best friend Miranda is coming with I’m so excited. We are meeting up with Jim and Ashley and are going to have the time of our lives listening to crappy country music (I hate country but am going for the party and friends) and drinking a few cocktails.
It was Bay Days last weekend. I had a great time with my girls. We went out to eat at the Crossings and it was fabulous. There was a whooping 14 of us. They didn’t have enough places so my boyfriend and his son ever so nicely volunteered to sit at the bar while we waiting for a table to open up. I had chicken wings like usual and they were fabulous.
Cheerleading season is about to start up. At bay days we sold almost $700 worth of sweatshirts, tee shirts, etc. It was wonderful. Money we need money!!!! I am praying this season goes well. I’m not thrilled to get up at 7 now. Practice is from 7:45 to 9 in the morning and then Jenn and I go to work. Ick!
It was my Dad’s 50th b-day party. My brother and I, ok really me, surprised my dad with a 42’ LG 1080p LCD Tv. He started crying over it. It was a real surprise. He deserved it.
Haven’t seen my brother in a while and I really miss him. Jordan and I are very close. My family is very affectionate and he has me wrapped around his finger. He wants me to come down soon and see him in Duluth…aka come down so I buy him dinner and what ever else he asks for. Oh well that is what big sisters are for. He can get whatever he wants he just asks in a nice voice and says please sissy… ergh little shit… ok he isn’t little he is 20.
George and I are going to Kennel train Butters. My heart is breaking just saying that but it needs to be done. When Butters spends the night he ends up pacing the whole night and whining. We figured out why. When his dog Jimmy is there I think Butters gets nervous and jealous so he keeps us up all night wanting attention. So we are going to train him to sleep in his kennel when he acts up. I’m such a push over with him but he needs to listen better. It is really hard.
My review is coming up at work. I’m actually excited about it. I have been taking on a lot of projects at work and they are turning out really nice. I’m very proud of them.
My bday is almost here. I don’t know why I still look forward to my bday. I mean it is on a Thursday, I don’t get presents anymore, and I am getting older (isn’t that a bad thing), but I still do get excited. I hope my ladies and I can go for cocktails. I think I am going to take the next day off because George and I are going up to International Falls for the long weekend. Hairball my favorite band!!! Is playing up there. He owns a house boat on Rainy Lake so me and my boy will be floating all weekend listening to awesome music.
How is that for a recap. What are you doing for Labor Day? Do you still look forward to your bday?

Ode to my Wheat Thins-

How I love my wheat thins. I eat about 2 boxes a week at work and I love every last one. Jenn and I use to eat these babies like they are going out of style when we were in college and I could never stop. How I love them.

Anyways enough randomness. This weekend was great. I had Carrie Jo’s and Joeys wedding reception to go to. It was a great time however I pooped out early. But I started early so that counts for something. My great friend Ashley was up for the reception and we headed to the crossings for beer and wings and a shocking 11 in the afternoon. Tsk tsk I know! It was delicious and wonderful baking out on the porch eating my delicious wings and drinking my blue moon beer with extra orange. Then it was so nice out we headed out to a co workers of mine house. We ended up have a few ‘more’ out there. So by the time I got back to get ready for the reception I was feeling pretty sexy I am not going to lie. I took a ‘mini’ nap and got ready for the big night. George and Kristen came over to get ready with us. Miranda and Zeke and baby Ezra came over as well to help beautify us… Mirm was already beautified so she helped me and Kristen.

The reception was great with awesome food and an open bar… Well actually I didn’t know it was an open bar. I just thought George and Mirm were being ever so nice and buying me cocktails until I went up to buy us all a round and then I found out it was free so I had some catching up to do.

We boogies and ate delicious food and laughed and had a great time. Everyone was just in a great mood and no real drama. That was nice, usually there is always something that goes down. George caught the garter. I think it was staged haha… Funny! Once again no pics but I’ll steal some off people’s facebooks. I’m a sniper of pictures for sure.

Friday the 13th, Atv’s, cowbells, mud, and hiking

A very good and interesting weekend. First off of course friday was FRIDAY the 13th…ooo. My day started off superb. I got my own printer for my office so I don’t have to keep getting up and walking to eh printer for my 8 million reports I print in a day. I have been waiting and waiting patiently for this fabulous ‘xmas present’. Then I caught up on some paperwork that has been sitting in my in box for months staring at me. Ah felt wonderful. About the same time as I finished the last of my ‘to do list’ it hit me that it was Friday the 13th. Ah! Then our tech guy came in and told me he has to send my printer back because it isn’t compatible with our banking program..bye bye fabulous Christmas present, then I got slammed with member phone calls and got backed up, and then to make matters worse one of our branches went offline so for my End of Day processes that I have to do once the bank closes was going to take twice as long. But then the sun came out and everything got better like usual. Then after work I ran home got changed and headed to George’s house to ‘meet the kids’. Seriously people I was so scared it was like a job interview. I never had to meet a guy that I’m dating kids. But as soon as I walked in their house and I saw their shining faces I knew it would be ok. We had a great night. We ate, went for a cruise, checked out the tents at the Americinn, played Nintendo WII, and watched movies. They are great.

Sat was a little more complex. I got up and went down to the ATV parade. It was a lot of fun. Jenn and I met up with this Jen and Tucker. He was so fasinated with all the noises and big ol ATV’s I love watching his expression. He was very good! Then Jenn and I headed off to work the big dinner. We worked this dinner for Bernie because he is going to make a large donation to our cheerleaders. Well I worked my tushie off. Ran and ran and ran filled food, cleared plates, washed dishes. Then after we served almost 500 people Jenn and I got changed and worked the dance. It was a lot of fun. After we were done we scooted out on the dance floor. I got up on stage like usual and played the cowbell. I’m a professional cowbell player. I played it to Mustang Sally. Yea it was sweet making an ass out of myself but I didn’t care I was having fun and that is all that matters. Then I called it a night.

Sunday was the best of the whole weekend. The kids taught me how to ride a dirt bike. I know I can't believe it either I am to work today I didn't die. It was fun and hilarious. Then we all went for a 4 wheeler ride out to twin and ended up hiking around the whole entire lake. Through bogs, swamps, rocks, and brush. I was cut up cause I had shorts on but man it was fun. Corey kept jumping out and scaring me. Little shit he got me quite a few times. He kept hiding perfectly behind trees. We got so damn muddy it was hilarious. Kristen drove me back and I swear that girl hit ever single mud puddle. I love getting muddy. It isn’t wheeling unless you get muddy. Then we all went and ate at the lemon wolf for fathers day and got ice cream well I didn’t I was so full from my delicious shirmp. Then we came back and watched a movie. I had 4 nasty ticks on me. They had none. I was not a happy camper about that. Icky I hate them they scare the crap out of my and they are so tiny. I don’t care I’m a whimp. It was the best weekend ever. I wish I had pictures :(

What A Great Weekend....

What a great weekend people great weather great fun! Sorry I forgot to post about it. First I saw the coolest thing. My dog was out side and I look out and there is a new baby fawn playing with Butters. They were snifiing each other, playing around, one time I even saw their nose touched. I didn’t get any good pics cause my good camera was out in the car and I didn’t want to scare it away but I got two with my old camera. I will try to find the cord and upload them asap. My neighbors own the local café and they got some pics as well. He is now a local celebrity cause they printed the pics and got two blown up and put them in a frame down at the café. It is super cute. My Butters the star of Silver Bay! Then I went to the green door with my best buds and man. We had a blast. I bet I took 800 shots of tequila rose. Oooo baby it was delicious. I haven’t had tequila rose for a super long time. I don’t get to go out with my beautiful lady friends very often I usually go out with my guy friends and ha like they are going to take that pink delicious medicine, so I have to have a jag bomb. I’m not complaining I love jag as well. Ok anyways. We went out had an awesome night. Full of laughter, funny stories, and great pics. Jenn has a few on her site. Only downfall was I wanted to punch a certain local guy that is creepy because he stuck his hand down my pants and tried to get my underwear. I don’t take lightly to those things, but then didn’t want to get kicked out for hitting so I just yelled at him. Here is T3 once again. I love this pic!

Ok so then Sat my man and I just hung out Sat. We took our three dogs to the beach. My little Butter monster took off towards North Shore Mining once. I wasn’t very happy. Here is a pic of my monster.

We hung out there for hours playing fetch and soaking in the sun. It was awesome. Then we went over to my best friend Huberts for a BBQ and margaritas. I was awesome I just laid out in my suit soaking in the rays. It was about 80 sat. Then at night after the BBQ we hit the door again. It was fun again of course. My friend Hal-storm chucked a glass at an annoying local and got kicked out. It was a plastic cup. But it was hilarious. I love those stories.

Sun I just chilled took naps, watched TV, went to a grad party, and went and scooped out my man’s land he owns. It was a great weekend. I live for my weekends.

I forgot to mention the best part of my blue story. After, the pharmacist suggested writing a letter just informing the company of my side effects. My mom did so just being nice and letting them know in case by chance they hear of any other stories. The company then for no reason turned around and sent us a $2500 check for my suffering as they worded it. I know crazy. That is all the letter pretty much said. So that help pay for my first year of college. My mom and I thought that maybe there was something wrong with it and that is why they just wanted to get it out of the way so i didn't come back and sue... I have never tried the nyquil again in fear it will happen again. So I just stay away far far far away.
