fish on
Times eight, yup eight fish on
The adventure took place out in grand haven. After work em, matt nate and myself headed out to grand haven in preparation for a fishing trip with my uncle don. The original plan was dinner, sleep and up at 5am and head out the deep sea.
BUT thanks to mother nature the plan went more like this: Out to dinner on the deck at kirby, back to the house, talking with my uncle- super windy night, sooo anticipate not an early rising, so more talking with my uncle, more talking with my uncle [he can talk!] then bed. Get up and yes correct-super windy, so yupper pancakes and breakfast it was. It was finally decided we would stick around for an evening outing. So it was a little beach time and swimming. Then down town for lunch, shopping and temptations ice cream and then we FINALLY boarded the boat and were off. Such a beautiful night and we caught fish…well ‘we’ meaning I caught one and em caught one and the boys caught six. [yes my bread stick arms held up, but I am not going to lie my arm is a tad sore today…doesn’t hurt but can tell I reeled in a fish yesterday! Haha] long day but it was a success!
Today was supposed to be a pool party at the vriesman home---rain rain go away…but it didn’t so instead it was an Awesome lunch and game day at the vriesman home. It was a lovely time and the girls pulled through on guesstures.
Update: first outing on the roller blades took place. I ventured down to the white pine trail starting by the whitecaps. Strapped the blades on and I was off…..a few wobbles but not falls!, Got a looking good comment [random] and one hour later and the first time out was a success! I like I like--- will expect more of this to come this summer!

can we all say: tgif?
It is 2:32 in the afternoon. It is Friday. email trains are slowing down. I am ready for the weekend. I feel by now I have earned my pay for the week. Plus I can feel I am on the verge of flying off the handle state. Can only stare at the computer screen for so long!
I have had three cups of tea.
I mean this morning was a dragging. Maybe bc I took Nyquil last night…it worked though. Eight full hours of straight-as-a-board-sleep.
So I will tell you a few random things to pass the time by.
1. my nails are frenzy Fiona. Four coats and still not stellar. But love love love the color.
2. went to: letters of Juliet last night. Hopeless romantic betsy loved. I on the other hand…..thought a tad to cheese ball. But to each their own [correct saying?]
3. did find out that bar Louie offers happy hour until 7. it made me happy to get a half off meal.
4. I really like reese pieces. They are just so good.
5. made glutton free cookies last night. Turned out in the oven. Thank you very much. But I pity the person that has a glutton allergy. Bc a. EXPENSIVE b. just doesn’t taste as good.
6. tomorrow I hope my bread stick of arms will allow me to reel in some small alligator sized salmon when we embark on our fishing adventure.
7. lucky number seven: well I like staring at the stars!
Happy freaking weekend to all!

I saw a clown
A tractor
Many candidates
And beauty queens, which who hasn’t heard. “elbow elbow wrist wrist wipe a tear and blow a kiss” I have it down pat, I could have totally been miss belding.
All of this fun was bundled up at the lowel duckie parade with Emily and mr matt evans. It turned out to be a very soggy parade because the minute we got to the parade route it started to down pour! Not just trickle rain BUT pouring bucket rain. I was so happy I had worn the correct attire of a white shirt…or not! So I strategically held the candy bucket and started passing and running through the rain. It turned out to be a lot of fun! Soggy but fun, and hey we got a free mcdizzles lunch!
What else has been new:
Went to Jusitn and Beckys wedding on Friday night. Very nice wedding. Wonderful cake! True success! It was fun to sit next to my grandma. She doesn’t have a censor button for her mouth. A few quote: 'Hey that could have been you standing up there.' Or sitting behind justins dad and stepmom and mom and saying. 'Well that has be awkward having two wives on each side.' OR asking me is justins stepmom was his sister. Omg….she also doesn’t have a whisper voice!
saw the movie grown ups! Five stars for that if you are looking for a good laugh!
Went to ulta. Three new colors [buy two get one free] my choice frenzy fiona! Yellow!
Went to grand haven today with em! Such a nice day! But we realzed there are sooo many people with tattoos. Tattoos everywhere!
Biked a new route: white pine trail with betsy and Lindsay
Picked raspberries with mom and betsy. Hmm probably the hottest day of the year. 90 something, sweating bullets!
Just found out that ochocincos dating show has begun and viewing it currently.

The common denominator
Besides the last name Lipinski!
We like treats! [a delayed post from over the weekend]
I know where my sweet tooth comes from. I have spent the last two weekends in traverse with just the parentals! Ha!
Day one: cherry pie and some ice cream.
Day Two: We biked to toms to get doughnuts and cookies [two kinds that is]. We walked to DQ! [first DQ of the year!] so delicious.
Day three: We walked to the local ice cream joint. Moomers- peanut butter oreo waffle cone! and a few more cookies thrown in there. they were the coconut with chocolate that i have always wanted to try!
A treat filled weekend!
Besides treats we enjoyed a lot of sun! beach! Reading, paddle boating, and even a sailboat ride [even though it was freezing cold water!] but it highlighted my fathers weekend to take us and we had a spectacular view of the blue angles air show. They flew right over us and it was awesome! To top it off we got to see the fireworks and come into to work late Monday! successes with those work chickens!

Did you know today is special?
One may inquire why, so let me tell you! According to 91.3 it is chocolate day. Did you know that this existed? I sure didn’t, but I am willing to celebrate! This could make July 7 one of the better days of the years. Close to Christmas and possible even in front of July 11 aka free slupreeeee day!
So cheers to chocolate day. enjoy yourself!

I like that boom boom pow
Them chickens jackin' my style
All week my work chickens have been jackin’ my style:
No Monday off! Ridiculous!
So I had to take desperate measures
1.highlight and bolding faxes that have other business that are CLOSED! and putting in the appropriate box. 2.every time someone aka a customer, would ask if we had Monday I would so umm no, yeah no we do not.[especially fun infront of my brother] 3. I would make sure to try to work in the fact that it is silly to be open at every opportunity 4.ask my dad on off work hours!...you get the picture
My results: my dad volunteered to ask my brother if I could come in late Monday morning [his idea not mine, but grand idea it was!]…..and the answer DRUM ROLL PLEASE!! Yes! Woot woot!
So tomorrow right after work I am head drop top riding all the way to traverse city!
Bring on the wonderful three day forecast:
Sun
Sun
Sun
Throw in a little family, biking, movies, goodies, and fireworks! And you got a pretty good looking fourth of july!
