Randoms

So I like random posts from time to time.

Sometimes I wanna share things with you but they are not enough to justify a full post so I use these randoms to catch up with stuff like this.

**A couple of weeks ago Mr. Big Truck and I ventured off to Dicks. I wanted to look at kayaks and stand up paddle boards. While we were there we ventured over to the fishing stuff. Surprise right? While we were roaming around I saw a pole I liked and it was all of $20 bucks so I got it. Well that pole turned into me getting a bunch of lures and other fun and "pretty" fishing stuff. Needless to say someone was a little excited for me to be getting more into his world. Then I confessed to him that I used to fish with my father when I was younger and actually enjoyed it. While I was looking at all the fun stuff I was having flash backs of those days.

Yes I got a pink fishing bad and boxes for all my "fun pretty" fishing stuff. 

**Also a few weeks ago I had the lawn guy at the house taking care of business. We got to talking. Last year I had mentioned to him that I wanted to level out the back yard and get some grass seed put down. He remembered me talking about this and brought it up. I told him to go a head and do it and I am finally starting to see grass sprout!

**Mr. Big Truck and I have been fighting over a sweat shirt lately. He seems to think it is his and he is sorely mistaking.



**All things yummy are starting to come up in his garden!



**FINALLY picked up a runner and place mats for the dining room table!



**I got new kicks. I am LOVING the color combination too!



 Let met just tell you a few weeks ago Mr. Big Truck and I went to Jersey Shore Outlets and I got a pair then as well in a size 8.5. I went to the mall by work one day and saw these bad boys and I wanted them. They are the SAME EXACT pair as the ones I got in 8.5 so I grabbed the 8.5 and off I went. I got home went to put them on and work out and the damn things didn't fit! WTF?!? I wound up going back and exchanging them and got a size 10! REALLY?!?!

**Targets dollar bin is awesome! We snagged these fun water guns for a buck! Can't go wrong!



Those should come in handy at the lake this summer!

**Mr. Big Truck just went to the Brad Paisley concert last week and I was slightly jealous. He sent me audio clips of the concert all night which I loved. He also picked up these 2 shirts for me.



I love the I Drive Your Truck shirt!

I think that's all I got for you right now.

The Return of Lake Days!

Guys I am so freaking excited! 

WHY?

LAKE DAYS ARE BACK! 

Thats right friends!

Dad and Molly are back from Florida and that means Lake Days will and have commenced once again! 

This past weekend was the start of them for this summer! 

Dad's birthday just passed and it was a milestone birthday.
Old man just turned 70!
This weekend we all decended on the lake to celebrate! Granted the weather was not the best but we made the best of it and had a blast! 

I kinda went picture happy so I  made some collages for you! 

First and foremost we celebrated dads birthday!
Mr. Big Truck got roped into playing cards with my niece and nephew.
Pops entered the cell phone world.
Cake because no birthday celebration is complete with out cake!

Most of the day we all just hung out and talked and enjoyed each others company. We also played outside even though it was misty and damp out.

My niece and nephew love to fish at the lake when they are there. I peronally love catching the pictures of my brother and his kids like the top left picture.
Nicholas caught a fish and Mr. Big Truck helped him get it off the hook.
I decided I wanted to get in on the action so Mr. Big Truck set up my pole for me.
Of course Mr. Big Truck needed to get a line wet himself.

Other weekend happenings?

Oh ya know I baught a Kayak!



Isn't she pretty!
Ok so back story really quick. I have always wanted a kayak but never had anyone to go kayaking with so I never persued it. Well Mr. Big Truck and I have been talking about how he has one and he likes to go out and I decided now was the time to finally bite the bullet!

Saturday we went to Jersey Paddler to go check some out. I took 2 different kayaks out to test and a combo kayak/stand up paddle board. I was originally set on getting the combo because after going stand up paddle boarding in FL in February I fell in love with that as well. After trying that I came to the conclusion while the idea is awesome it was not for me. I tested out a 12 foot and a 14 foot kayak and wound up going with the 14 footer! To say I am excited is a bit of an undetstatement! I can not wait to get out on the water!

We also stopped at this local fish and tackle shop and Mr. Big Truck did some browsing.

I really thought he was gonna walk outta there with a new pole but he didn't. However he did walk out with not 1 but 2 new lures.

Anther great weekend down!

I can not believe that next weekend is the "Un-Official" Start of Summer but I will tell you this I AM PSYCHED! 

Adventures of Mr. Big Truck

So there is no hiding the fact that Mr. Big Truck is a handy guy right?
I mean he did help replace the Hot Water Heater and he helped me hang a bunch of pictures in the living room.

Well a few months back I had the garage door replaced and when the did it I specifically said to them DO NOT LOCK the door. What did the asshats do? Locked the door.

Anyway Mr. Big Truck and I have been brainstorming ideas of how to get in. I called a locksmith after he mentioned it and they wanted to charge me anywhere from $100 to $150 to break the lock and put a new one in. Thanks but no thanks! Then I called the company that put the garage door in and they wanted to charge me $250 to replace the lock. REALLY?!??

Then one day Mr. Big Truck was walking around the garage door and realized there was a window -mind you he asked me if there was one and I said no. In my defense it was covered with a piece of wood ever since I moved in the house so I never noticed it- he looked and saw that it was just nailed in. With an obscene amount of nails none the less. So he decided he would just pop the wood off and break in. 

Mission Accepted

I had to run in the house to take care of something and left him like this. 

Seriously I was gone for like 5 minutes. 

When I came back this is what I saw. 

Mission Accomplished. 

Next mission should you choose to accept it Mr. Big Truck, help me clean out the garage. 

And because that was not enough of an adventure we then decided we needed to hang some more decorations in the house. 

We were trying to figure out where on the wall in the hallway to put the pictures and I wanted to take a picture to show Mr. Big Truck so he could get a better visual. Well, we had 3 pictures to hand he had 2 hands and he improvised for the third. 

After looking at the picture we decided against that part of the wall because of the thermostat. 

We wound up putting it up on the other side of the hallway. 

Of course this all went down AFTER we cooked dinner together. 

Well actually Mr. Big Truck cooked dinner I walked to the liquor store for the wine and made the salad.

Congratulatory dinner right there friends! 

For what? 

Landing my own Monday night regular BodyCombat class! 

Stay tuned for more Adventures with Mr. Big Truck.
