line cutters suck

This was one of the signs posted at the LUDA concert last night! the adventure to Muskegon summer celebration went like this: Left the home in the jet blasting LUDA cd all the way. Arrived at heritage landing and found $5 dollar parking with crazies! Walked to the concert. Not interested in drinking alcohol for the evening and got slap with a bright yellow wrist band stating- UNDERAGE! First stop for Kari- mr.jons to go. Gwen-only laughed and took pictures. Had a little time to kill so walked around and observed the opening band, the mummies and the Carnes of Muskegon. Oh where there some outfit. Heels, Shorty shorts, heels with Shorty shorts, boobs everywhere, tattoos, beards, you think it, it was probably there. We totally enjoyed the people watching probably as much as the concert. Wait--- gwen probably enjoyed the people watching yes MUCH more than the concert! I liked both equally, with luda pulling through in the clutch.
It lived up to my expectations.
Luda was good.
Luda was funny.
Luda rapped [I like to call it rapping over singing] my favorite tune. My chick bad. [shout out to all the bad girls! Woot woot! I probably shouted at everything! He had shout outs for the alcoholics-poor, the smokers-again poor! And then to the bad girls and believe even the hoes. So many proud hoes in Muskegon! Oh and justin bieber fans!] It was definitely a great time. Our final good byes to the celebration was with the kid running around sharing his pot with himself and the other luda fans! OMG! [I would like to say even though you probably think it was really dirty and gross. a:dont judge! b: luda did keep his lyrics clean! Bravo luda! I will cont to be a fan!]

safety first

It’s just like riding a bike….right!
Well I have been safely riding a bike for over twenty years [only minor scraps and bumps in those years] But yet my family has pestered me enough to finally get a helmet. Here I am thrilled to be off on my first adventure with it on! Hmm I kept saying to myself and out loud: dork. BUT yes I realize I must keep the noggin safe, lots of valuable info floating around in there!

I HAVE A NEW CRUSH: john isner! [11 hr marathon! take it all the way my man!]

random 30 min party in the basement?

at one a.m. I hear two things.
1. tornado siren
2. foot steps to my room [gwen thank goodness she was home]
neither of us are quite sure what we should do but we turn on the tv and it says there really is a warning and to go in the basement. Sooo gather blankets, phone, pillows, put on my boots and head down stairs. Dad calls [thank goodness cause tv goes out] and tells us to go to the west side of the house. Which is the Christmas closet [no windows] so we hide out down there and chat [bring about distraction bc yes I was scared! Always hated storms since about age…five] as g puts it, ‘that was a nice weekend wrap up’ get a call it is safe to head back upstairs and back to bed we go.


No damage, only thing noticeable is the front porch chairs moved!
Phewww we made it!!
Now onto a full day with about 5 hours of sleep!
Cheers [WIMBELDON started!!]

The first annual b.y.o.c. [bring your own chair] to the back deck fire

Four girls & four bikes in northern Michigan [mackinaw city, island and traverse city] upgrades, running in the rain. quality inn!

My favorite vanilla with chocolate chips] lots of laughs [phrase peeing like a race horse] lots of trinket shops [.50 hats!] just a fun weekend with the girls.



Summer baseball
Work party to the whitecaps game. Got rained out, but we were in a suite so it didn’t matter.


Berlin raceway
Random last minute adventure with my dad, mom and uncle! What does a race track have? Well elephant ears, men wearing LA gears. Camo pants. Lots of Nascar paraphernalia. Made friends with issac the eleven year old next to us and his brother and actually his whole family. See race fans are like one big happy family!
