Girls Day

Posted on July 26, 2016 by dkbadmin under Everyday Life

Last Saturday July 23 2016 was announced to be Girls Day.

My mom has been talking about just having a girls day and I agreed to go. I was so hoping that Kim would not be invited. We all know how I feel about her. She didn’t come it was my mom, my sister Chrissy and her daughter Bree who is six. What really sucked though is I have a cold so wasn’t feeling the greatest but I went anyways.

Mom came and picked me up at ten on the Saturday and we drove to Chrissy’s house. I haven’t been to her house in at least three years. The only thing that changed in her house was they painted the wall in the kitchen and got some new rugs. So not a whole lot different but different.

The first thing we did was painting like mom and I did a while ago. But we did the one in Green Bay. It was fun and they had more of a selection at this one and they had coffee. That is a bonus! However I thought one of the ladies who worked there wasn’t as friendly as are the people in the Appleton one.

I did a vase and Chrissy and mom. Vase day I guess. Funny. Except Bree she did an owl.

After the painting we went out to eat at Olive Garden. I haven’t been to an Olive Garden like in ten years. I am not really impress by them. The only thing awesome about Olive Garden is the free bread sticks. When we got to Olive Garden we had to wait forever and that is when I started to feel bad. Since I am sick it was catching up to me. I got really hot and didn’t feel the greatest. That didn’t add to my experience at the Olive Garden.

After lunch Chrissy made appointments for us to get our nails done. Okay me get my nails done. I was worried about that part. I have never done that. Everyone except me wanted to get their toes done. I got my fingernails done. Once inside you can tell everyone has had this done. I am not really a girly girl so I would never pay anyone to do this to me. I rather do it to myself which I do. I like nail polish and doing my own nails.

Also I am sorry but I am so horrible at understanding people who come from different countries and their accents. I don’t mean to be rude and have them repeat themselves several times but I just don’t understand. Even though I have stated before I do think those people are cool that they come here to Wisconsin of all of the states to come to Wisconsin.

Everyone in the nail salon new what was going on. I needed a flow chart on how things work. I was asked several different questions and sorry didn’t understand most of them. I probably looked like an idiot. Oh well. Anyway the woman I had do my nails didn’t talk that much so that is good. I did like the hand massage that felt great. I picked out a purple shiny color.

I don’t think I will do that again.

After that we went to Chrissy’s house and hung out. After an hour or so we saw The Secret Life of Pets. I was unhappy and didn’t find it to be as funny as the trailer made it out to be. It talked strangely of killing owners. It had really dark undertones for a kid’s movie. It’s not worth seeing in the theater.

After the movie we got some frozen pizza and headed back. We spent the night playing games and talking. It was a good Girls Day. I just wish I felt better. Also I had to share the bed with this guy.

Red. Great dog but what a bed hog. Funny! I finally kicked him out and he was here in the morning.

It was a great Girls Day and I would go again if it’s just the same peop

Life!

This past weekend Jeff got sick. Ugh. I really don’t want to be sick then again who does?

I am dumb and I am going to admit it. I figured out how to do Mallcrasher in Payday 2. I tried to do it like that guy I watched on the YouTube. I shouldn’t have done that and I never got far enough where they tell you how much you damage. So yeah. Should have known tried doing Firestarter like the YouTube video and I didn’t fair well so should have taken my own advice. Funny.

We decided to change our dresser. It has been through many moves and needs some help.

We are not done yet but getting there.

I went for a walk and I can’t believe this is near my house!

It’s so awesome! This trail used to be railroad tracks and they tore them out and made this awesome trail. Also there is a little bench too. I thought it was cute.

Early this morning I went for a walk the other way down our street. There is a dead end not too far from our house. I like to go there and look out to see this.

What a great way to start a day.

Payday 2

Posted on July 15, 2016 by dkbadmin under Video Games

Nothing exciting has happened this week so I decided to review Payday 2. Keep in mind I only have a PS3. One of these days I will have a PS4.

Anyway I played Payday and loved it. Also I only play by myself. So if you ever played Payday or Payday 2 keep in mind playing by yourself is much more challenging since you have to do everything. I do like the challenge also created a systems to get bags of loot across streets and such. Took me a bit though since I have to carry everything.

Payday 2 I got the Safecracker edition. This game came with three DLC’s. The Gagepack one and two and the armored transport missions.

Also came with this nifty Dallas patch. Even though Dallas seems to be the main character Wolf is my favorite. If you haven’t seen the mini series on YouTube go and watch the first episode. Don’t see anymore though they suck. What crappy acting. I can’t believe I wasted my time watching that. Anyway the only reason I mention it because all the characters are now based on the actors in the YouTube series. But most of them still have the same voice actors except Hoxton. Sad I liked him but they changed him to Dallas’s younger brother. I do not like playing with him and his voice annoys me. I want to add Bain into this. I refuse to except that Bain looks like that in the game and in the series. Because I like his voice but I just can’t get over him having long hair and vaping in the series. I don’t know I would imagine Bain to be an older man since he mentions he has done heists when he was younger.

I would say this game is harder then the first one and also the graphics are cooler. I like how they made the special officers actually look like people. Like the Bulldozer doesn’t look like alien anymore. More looks like someone who is going to defuse bombs. With the DLCs I got some other masks which is cool. Sometimes I want to change up their mask. The funniest though is the Bear mask. It’s so big looks funny. I like you can create your own masks too. I have some of those as well.

The armor truck mission is hard. It’s safety deposit boxes takes a long time to open them as well. I get a little bored with this mission though and the bank deposit boxes as well. Unlike Payday the CPU’s are great shooters and can cover better. They go down a lot slower as well. However they are not great and helping me get back up. Payday one they were better at reviving me. Funny I constantly yell at them to help me though.

Crimenet I like that I can pick missions instead of the five or whatever. I like that they have Pro Jobs. I am pretty good at the Ukrainian Pro Job. Stealing a tiara is fun and added jewels. Those stupid drills still suck. Funny! I did think it was funny when Hoxton said something like Did we buy these drills from the cops. I do like they sound more human and say more human things. Also Bain sounds more human. Still can tell he isn’t American which funny. Also thought it sounded strange in Payday how Bain would say shirt sounded more like sert.

What I wish is that the characters were more diverse like from different countries. The only one that is different is Wolf. Also Wolf I thought he was French turns out he is Swedish. I only thought because on how he says the safe’s name in Payday. Otherwise everyone is from America and that sucks. I like to play with characters from different countries it’s more fun to hear them speak with their accents.

I am probably in the low percentage because I am a female but I really like playing with the male characters in games. Sometimes I will play with the female characters just for variety. However I don’t really care if the game has a female in it or not. Also I am not stealthy and not really good at those missions. I am the guns a blazing gamer. If I can blow up stuff and people and go on a rampage I am happy.

Downside of this game. I wish some missions had more instructions on what to do. I don’t really get how to do Mallcrasher yet even though I watched the YouTube video on it. I am sure I will figure it out soon or later. I didn’t get on Pro Jobs that if you fail them they are terminated. I thought it met that contact would be terminated forever. I didn’t get that it’s just the contract itself till I failed one. I don’t like everything has a money value. I liked the idea of the different trees to complete but I wish I could keep the money I earned then losing all or most of it when I fail a mission.

What is neat. I like the idea of each missions has different dimensions to it. A door that was there before won’t bet there in the same place for example. I do like that every mission is like that.

I still hate those cloakers. Funny!

I have been playing now for about two months. So I am definitely getting my money’s worth with this game. Plus so many DLCS you can get as well which is cool. I didn’t think I could have so much fun stealing things.

Saturday the whole family came over even Corey and family. I was surprised they came. I have a story that really grosses me out but I will share a little later. First how the Saturday went.

I can’t believe but my sister was here first! She is always late. Mom told me she was really excited to see our house and us. What?! That surprised me. Even her kids were well behaved. Bree really loved Koko. None of them met our dogs before.

She said that Koko was her favorite and the other dog was no fun. Hence Scotty. Funny! Scotty is a shy dog.

He was so good with them. I knew he would be. He loves kids but he gets tired though too.

We all ate at our house showed everyone around. Jeff didn’t want to go to the beach with us. So here are the dogs after we all left.

They were so tired! They even slept all Sunday as well. Not only did the kids play with them they went for a jog down the street. Lol! Oh poor Koko he was tired when he came back. Scotty was ready to go again. Can tell the age difference between the two. Awe! I am glad they had fun as well.

After our house we went to the beach.

It was hot and I got sun burnt on my face. But it was actually fun. A strange guy talked to me when I was trying to swim. He was drinking beer and talking to me in the lake. My life is full of adventure apparently. Who knew? I never seen anyone at a public beach swim and drink beer at the same time.

Okay time for the disturbing story. This just really freaked me out. I can’t help feeling this way about it. Everyone brought food to share. Kim and Corey brought their own bar. Wish they would have told me because I bought beer just for Saturday. I don’t drink that much. So I wouldn’t really have any in my fridge. Anyway they brought chips. I dumped all the chips in bowls to share. Jeff said he watched Kim dig through the trash to find the bag to take the chips she brought to bring home. I am grossed out by this. By this time there was raw meat packages, snot tissues and other trash. Gross! She could have just asked for a baggie. I don’t care if you want to take your chips home they are just chips. I am disturbed anyone would dig through the trash for a chip bag. Makes me think she does other gross things like not washing her hands when she goes to the restroom. My brain just goes there apparently. Now I am glad she doesn’t hug me when she sees me and leaves. Please do not touch me.

Less gross more like okay? When we went to buy beer I saw a guy wearing high heels. He had a shirt, shorts then high heels. I thought Jeff saw him he did but not his feet. Me being more observant then Jeff again. Anyway I was thinking if you are going to wear high heels might as well go all the way. Why not right? Or maybe he just likes high heels. I was telling Jeff that Appleton has gotten stranger since I was kid. I am not against that but we don’t really see that stuff in the small town we live.

Also I worked more on Rick Grimes on Sunday. This is two weeks progress.

I feel better because now I only have his arm, gun and the rest of his hat to do. Maybe I will finish by August 27th Jeff’s birthday.

My knee is finally feeling better! Only took a little over a month. It’s not fully healed because every so often I have to stop doing whatever I am doing. The muscles burn a bit but it’s a lot better then before. Now I can drive and walk without limping.

But…

I am still dealing with my arm from January when I fell on the ice. I finally got an appointment that only took forever. I saw someone on Thursday and actually had someone that knew what they were talking about. Like I always say it’s a roulette wheel on whom I am going to see. She explained that it’s not my elbow which I thought it was. It’s a sprain in my bicep. She said she doesn’t understand why it’s still swollen. I said me either wish it would heal already and I am still in pain. Not a lot where I can’t do anything but enough to hinder some things I like to do. Cross stitching can be hard for me to hold the project and that sucks to me.

Anyway later today I go to physical therapy. I haven’t been to PT since the nineties for my back. Not sure what to expect also supposedly getting an ultrasound done to see my muscles. She said if this doesn’t work then I have to get an MRI done. I really don’t want to do that. Well see what happens.

Tomorrow I am hoping it doesn’t rain. The family is coming over. Funny! Anyway my mom has been making a big deal that none of my siblings have seen my house yet. Well they do own a phone they could call me. Or I don’t know there are other ways too like maybe FB since I am there often. This all started on the July second to go swimming and eat at my house. Supposedly Corey and family were supposed to come but so far they haven’t said if they are coming. On top of that is the reason why everyone was coming over because of him being available to hang out with us. It would be no surprise if he doesn’t come over.

Swimming will be fun. I can’t wait to go. I haven’t been swimming in a long time and it’s been hot and muggy here. Would be a nice break.

Independence Day

Posted on July 5, 2016 by dkbadmin under Holidays

Yesterday was Independence Day but that isn’t the reasons I didn’t write you. I was lazy. That’s it just laziness.

Anyway we celebrated the fourth on the second. Jeff and I didn’t get to my uncle’s place about sixish because first it doesn’t get dark till about nine or nine thirty. Also we have dogs we can’t have them go for a long time without going potty. I was surprised how many people were there not many. It was Jeff and I, my parents, my cousin and her husband and two sets of uncles and aunts. Usually there are a lot more then that! I am happy about.

Jeff and I ate before we got there because every time we go there, there isn’t enough food. So when we got there was enough food. What?! Since I have been little there has never been enough food for everyone and this time there is? Strange. Oh well.

Every time we go to my Uncle Paul’s house there is always a poker game. I don’t always want to play but the alternative is playing dominoes which is okay. Why can’t we just hang out? So I played poker and so did Jeff. We don’t just play regular poker games we play Koehne games. Funny! They are made up and we have been playing for years! Anyway my cousin Jeff not my husband Jeff. He is such a show off. He plays real poker and he tells us this all the time. When it’s his turn he most of the time plays a game I never heard of which always has a ton of rules. Instead of asking a million times for the instructions I play for a little bit then fold. Why not just have fun Jeff? Also in his life he is a show off too. You know these people who put a ton of stuff on their FB page.

Later in the night Jared came. He is a cool cousin and the one to light off all the fireworks for us. It was good day.

Monday July 4th is our Independence Day. A day that is celebrated by fireworks!

This year is at my Uncle’s farm and that means everyone puts in money to get fireworks. Jeff loves to pick them out so they give us the money and we put in too. We had three hundred dollars to spend. Of course we bought fireworks on the hottest day last week. We even have a place we love to go too because the guy who runs the firework place gives us extra firework. This time he gave us at least or more then fifty dollars worth of fireworks.

One year we went to the place that has a gorilla on the outside. If you ever seen one those you know what I mean. They sucked! We spent three hundred dollars and got nothing free. I also thought they were more expensive and didn’t have the knowledge either. Just there to sell fireworks.

Anyway the place is called fireworksfree.com. The guy who runs it super knowledgeable. He told us several times that he is passion about it. I believe him and we will definitely going back in the next three years. I wish every year but not everyone in my family likes fireworks. Him and his wife were very nice and they have a huge selection of fireworks. I am super impressed.

This year the fourth lands on a Monday so we are celebrating at the second. I am going to try and take some video and I will share later. Oh it’s going to be awesome!
