Just a quickie...

Sat, 28 Jun 2008 20:58:50 GMT

This won’t be a long one cause I have my nephew and he is keeping me quite busy. I have however been playing with my camera a lot these past few days. I also thought I would make an entry so that you guys know that I haven’t calved yet, as Kenny likes to call it as of late. Just been busy chasing Logan around the house which I have enjoyed it for the most part; it’s just too bad that Uncle Kenny is his favourite.

I'm probably peeing right now...

Wed, 25 Jun 2008 00:36:36 GMT

So I am now capable of walking into the hospital here and they have all of my information so I won’t need to wait; now I just have to wait until the baby is ready to come. It was interesting to see the birthing rooms but I don’t think the lady giving me the tour found it funny when I called it the “calving room” or referred to it as the room I will be screaming in. Oh well have a sense of humor! Which reminds me some of the questions they as you are just silly like; do you frequently urinate? Of course I do. I am 9 months pregnant!

Speaking of frequent urination. I got out into the world today and saw some faces that I haven’t seen in a long time. I had 3 coffee dates spread out through the day today, so lets just say that I have drunk a lot of liquid and so I will pay tonight when I am peeing every 20 minutes. First I had coffee (not that I drank coffee) with Kenny’s cousin Michelle which I haven’t seen in months, then another with Tara and Marie who I have been trying to get over to see, and then with a friend from work who is getting married this weekend Nathan. Needless to say that I have been all caught up on the latest gossip everywhere!!

This week is going to get a little busy and crazy as I have lots on the go and some company (Kenny’s cousin Natalie and her friend Ashley) arriving tomorrow around noon. I do hope to make it here each day to let you know what is new but if I fail to make it a day I am sure that you will understand.

I have to go now. It's time for another coffee date...this time with Kenny and Eva (as she just called). Yes, I just can't get enough!!

Bits o' weekend...

Mon, 07 Apr 2008 12:50:28 GMT

So the weekend was great and the rest of my relaxing Saturday went well.

I visited quickly my grandmother as it was her 86th birthday. She was asleep at the table. Like she is daily when I make her lunch. I am sure that she doesn’t even remember me stopping by. She keeps thinking that she missed her birthday cause we had a party for her with our weekly family supper on Thursday.

Then there was a 1st birthday party in which I got to see some old faces and enjoy their company. Parker was a having so much fun until he started to get a little tired. Hard to believe that a whole year has gone by so fast. I guess the same will happen with Chuck right…I mean that is what people keep telling me?!?

After that we spent some time visiting the famously escaping Eva. She managed to keep herself out of the hospital for the whole weekend. We never did get to watch the movie we were going to watch but we did get some time to chat.

Overall by the time I went to bed I wasn’t as stiff as I normally am but by morning you would have never know that there was ever a massage given to me. I did however sleep in a few more hours than I have been lately. It was lovely.

Sunday morning we had breakfast with my Aunt and Uncle which was ate at a little English pub in town. Kenny had the English breakfast. Who knew that eating beans for breakfast was actually something people did for real somewhere...not just becuase that is all they had in the cupboard?!

I was then off to a wedding shower for a friend when I continued my day of eating. I got to see a few of the girls that haven’t been out in a while. It was a nice afternoon, and the bride got spoiled just like she should.

After that we headed to Kenny parent for the rest of the race and supper. I was happy to see that the race was still on cause it’s been a few weeks since I have sat to watch one. Never have I seen a crash quite like Mcdowell’s from Saturday, the great part was he walked away from it all. Mind you he might be a little stiff today. And good old Gordon with his 4th DNF I believe? Hit the wall hard enough to take himself to the garage…that made my weekend!!

A start to the season...

Mon, 11 Feb 2008 22:46:07 GMT

Well it’s freezing cold here and has been over the last few days. We did not get the snow they predicted, but the cold air. We got!

So we have spent a lot of time inside, or at others homes inside keeping warm. Nothing much here is new, however the Bud Shootout was a great start to getting me back into NASCAR mode. Also getting a few of our friends over as well. I almost watched all of a show last night on how and why they built Daytona, but I fell asleep. I am sure that they had a great reason though!

I won’t be able to watch much of the duels, as I have to work. So I will have to wait for Sunday for the big race to get too much more action. I can’t wait for the first race, the 50th race at Daytona is sure to be a good one…especially since Stewart punched out Busch from what I hear.

I have my picks in and I think this year I did ok!!

My day at the track...

Tue, 21 Aug 2007 23:21:35 GMT

Ok so I don’t know how happy of an entry this will be. In fact it might be mostly me b!tching they ran the race today and I pouted for the most part.

We got up at Sunday at 3am to drive down to Michigan International Speedway. The waking up that early wasn’t that bad cause I was so excited. I had a shower and dawned my #42 reversible tank top (that has been slightly ripped by my mothers stupid dog) and then overtop of that I added the NASCAR hoodie. As we were leaving I thought about getting my rain suit from work but figured an umbrella would work just fine. Little did I know that umbrellas weren’t allowed in the track, although many people had them inside. We picked up some people and headed off to the races.

The drive was great. No one drives on the highway that early. The border crossing was smooth, we just told them that we were going to the race and there was no other questions asked. We had a GSP system so we found our way there with ease. It started raining just before we crossed and continued as we made our way to the track. Once there we waited for a few hours in the van cause it was only 8am. We thought that we would wait for the rain to stop and the race to start. Instead it kept raining and just before race time we made our way to the stands and on the way stopped to buy rain suits. We walked around and bought a few things for my dad as well as a new shirt for me. I now am the new owner of a Montoya shirt that just rocks. Jo is also the new owner of a Jr hat and shirt. We watched and listened to the trucks dry off the track and out of no where ran into my brother and my sister-in-law. LOL Of course they were paying for some crap that they bought at the Jeff Gordon booth.

We ate lunch together kind of. Then we found to way to our seats where we watched them dry off the track and when it was just about time to race, we watched the clouds and rain coming towards us we knew that the race was done. So we headed back to the van and hung out while people mad a mess of the parking area and dug their cars deeper into the muddy goo the parking lot had become. It was a long drive home Sunday night but we figured with 90% chance of rain the next day that we were out of luck. It just wasn’t meant to be.

Monday we slept in late and got up to get some groceries. The race was cancelled. We sulked for a bit but in the end I made it to the track. Today however was the worst of it. I was at work and they dropped the green. Hil kept me up to date via MSN and I peeked into NASCAR.com when I had a few seconds. Gordon didn’t win, but I missed him spinning out, which would have been so much fun to see live. Then again Montoya spun too. I somehow feel like I did waste my money since we don't get it back. Got to see the track! Got a new shirt! Some shirts for my dad! When they dry off the track it’s really neat, not much fun to watch in the rain, but neat. Really loud. OK, it was stupid. I hate rain. It ruined my birthday present. It was no fun sitting in the van for hours. Especially when my jeans were soaking wet plastered to me. I really want to have that temper tantrum I was talking about yesterday. LOL At least I actually am laughing at myself right now I guess I can’t stay mad forever. There is always next year!

Stupid rain...

Tue, 21 Aug 2007 01:51:44 GMT

I am mad, mostly at Mother Nature. I understand that the farmers really need rain right now but we didn’t need any at the track yesterday. The race was cancelled, and moved to today. It was cancelled again today. I don't know what to write. I feel like a little kid that didn't get their way. Kind of like I want to throw a temper tantrum. We do not get our money back. The race is supposed to run tomorrow morning at 10am. I bet it will cause I will be at work hating every minute of it, unable to even watch on the TV! It won't be nice what I do write so maybe I will just come back tomorrow when I can actually tell you about the fun that we did have. Cause really we did have some fun. I hate the rain!

You would not believe what I have been up to...

Sat, 21 Jul 2007 19:55:30 GMT

Wow. Not too sure what is going on here but the changes might take some time for me to figure out. I am at work and had a few minutes so I thought I would let you know where I was yesterday.

During my shift I was back in the paint booth. The guy who was our painter slept in and finally decided to call and ask if I wanted him to come in for the rest of his shift. I fired him. He was on probation anyway, and I don’t need that crap. Today I was back in the booth painting some more to fix all the mistakes that he made earlier in the week. I had to send the parts out for sandblasting, and that cost quite a bit. Which means that you have to kind of paint them twice. They soak the paint up pretty fast. It was so humid in the shop that I had to turn the heater on in order to suck the moisture out of the air. This means that the booth was about a billion degree. Should have brought marshmallows and I could have made smores. My arms feel like they are about to fall off my body and I am so dehydrated.

Last night we went out for Lyndz stagette night. It was so much fun. We had a class to attend before we hit the bars. I was funny and I embarrassed myself quite a bit. We took a class to learn how to pole and lap dance. I am not very good at normal dancing so I could only imagine what I look like. I think however I was the only person that took a million pictures so there shouldn’t be any floating around out there of me. I had a good time and we even went for a drink after. I have a BBQ to go to tonight, so I will try to add the pictures later.

Come party with us...

Fri, 13 Jul 2007 20:32:15 GMT

in your own little way!!

So I noticed that a few of you have read my “Things” list (which makes me smile) and a few have sent me messages wondering if they can join in the excitement of our buck and doe. I am here to tell you that yes you can and for only $10 per ticket!! A great deal I know!!

Kenny and I are having a redneck theme buck n doe on Sept 22nd. For those of you that might be lost on the whole buck n doe thing, this is a party held usually by the bridal party to give those people not invited to the wedding a chance to celebrate the upcoming marriage. And as Linda recommended I should see who else wants to participate, being friends online. Linda wanted to be a part of it although she couldn't make it to the actual party as she lives in BC. I also found out that a few more people online wanted to be a part of it as well knowing that they could not make it. It really makes sense I guess!!

I have often bought tickets to a buck n doe knowing that I had something else to do that night but wanted to help out anyway. As pointed out to me most of the time people buy the tickets and don't go. However they never end up with a prize if their ticket number is called. So instead I am going to hopefully be the first person to ever have people purchase tickets to a buck n doe and then I want to make sure that I keep track of the numbers on the tickets that I send out to people online so that if they win a prize they still get it. Pretty cool eh?! Just another way that my online friends can be a part of our big party that celebrates our special day. Hope that you will send me a message letting me know that you want to participate!!

Grandpa's 80th...

Sun, 17 Jun 2007 23:39:29 GMT

I saved this spot in hopes of getting an entry completed but it is now Monday night….oh well…

Today (Sunday) was filled with family. We got up early and headed to London for my Grandfather’s 80th. We had a pic-nic area reserved just for us and everyone came. So we had a great time as you can see with all 4 of us grandchildren bringing all 10 of the great-grandchildren to the occasion. There was a water park there and I spent a few hours running up and down the steps chasing after the kids and heading down the slides with them and in some cases for their entertainment! Hey I am a sucker what can I say! They enjoyed me going down the big steep slide so much. What they didn’t understand was the big weggie that I got every time I went down it. To them it was just fun to watch how brave I was. Little did they know that each time I went down it I though it would be the last thing I ever did. I am so scared of heights but kids learn by what they see, some fears just have to get put aside.

They drained me. By 5pm I was ready to go so we then headed back into town to drop by and see my dad as well as Kenny’s. We didn’t stay long at either cause both of us were fairly tired and I had to get some meds into me, this being allergic to the sun makes it really hard in the summer. I now look like I have a mean case of chicken pox.

Off to the races...

Sun, 17 Jun 2007 02:56:16 GMT

I saved this spot in hopes of getting an entry done the next day. It is now Monday night….oh well…

So Saturday was a mixture of multiple different things. I worked until 10am then had to do some running around to do, mostly picking up gifts for Father’s Day. I don’t normally leave it until last minute but I really haven’t had the time to get out shopping for groceries let alone gifts for people.

I finished that up just in time to make it to the Wedding Shower that Amanda (brothers) was having for her sister-in-law to be. There was just a few of us there and it was a good time. Lyndz left pretty early I thought, she spent just enough time there to eat and open her gifts. So Amanda, Crystal and I took the opportunity to sit and chat, find out what everyone had been up to and what the rest of the summer has in store. It’s funny how you have all the time in the world in the winter and not enough in the summer!!

I left there to run home shower and eat to get ready for the race. Mattie, Hil, Kenny and I were heading down to Delaware Speedway for and Enduro race. The race was good. Too fast though and not enough crashes. On our way home we stopped and had some Dairy Queen. Not what I should be eating but it tasted great!! I could feel Mr. Sandman coming to get me, so we headed home to bed.

Good day at work...?!?!

Wed, 13 Jun 2007 23:26:22 GMT

So today was hot! 32*C outside…but in the plant I bet it was more like 45*C. I brought freezies in for the guys in the morning and put them into the freezer right away, but they weren’t even frozen by the time I left. So I guess they will have to eat them tomorrow, which is ok cause it’s supposed to be another scorcher. I had a really good day today at work, which believe me was a surprise for myself as well. The clamps on the turret press broke and would not open and for the first time in a long time I got to take something apart and figure out what was wrong, I fixed it and put it back together. I did have a bit of help here and there but for the most part it was mine to figure out. This of course is what made me have such a good day…tinkering around in the shop, using my brain and tools. It has really been too long…for working with the tools that is!!

I had such a good day that I decided to play in the garden a bit when I got home from work. Which we all know I hate doing, but at some time has to get done. I think the weeds decided that they were going to take over the whole garden. I was pulling away by a flowered tree when I could hear some buzzing and a pinch, then another pinch. I have no idea what got me but I ran into the house to check it out. I mean I am allergic to everything else in the world why not bees or wasps?? I seem to be ok so I guess all is well!!

I have finally decided that since we got rid of the tree and that was a very important part of Julia’s house, that the house is our and I know now what I want done in the garden. Well actually the lack of garden. I like the ferns and how they grow to give privacy so I think they should go all the way around the back yard. All I have to do is make sure that the weeds are pulled and the ferns do the rest. A natural fence if you will!!

Another shocker today was Jr’s decision to move from DEI to Hendricks for the 2008 season. Not that anything that I have to say is important or of any interest to Jr but hello?! Are you smoking crack?! Not only did your father roll over in his grave at the though that you were forced to walk away from the family business but I think if he wasn’t already dead that he would surely die of a heart attack to know that you are going to be racing for Hendricks. I understand that you are doing what you feel is right in order to make money to one day have your own team…but Hendricks?? I mean I had to Google the image of a crack pipe looked like just to make today’s blog picture because of this whole thing! Well I guess now three of the teammates will be good racers, it’s too bad that little whiner Gordon keeps winning cause I think that team would be better off without him…although I certainly think that getting rid of Kyle was a good choice too!!

Oh by the way we did colour my hair last night, well streaked it, well actually chunked it. It doesn’t look that bad…but I still need some time to get used to it. Kenny says it looks good. I just need time to get used to it. Some time for the “new” colour to grow on me. It always takes a few days. I will post a picture just as soon as I am going somewhere other than work, cause that way my hair will at least be looking half decently styled.

A little of everything...

Wed, 13 Jun 2007 01:52:59 GMT

I have added a sandbox. It doesn’t have any sand in it though. But it will show you the weather where I live. Which might not be of any interest to you, but if so than I am happy I put it there. I am so proud of myself. Well I am not going to lie, I mean I did have a bit of help! It appears that I do not have any gadgets in my gadget file in the customize are. Am I alone on this one? Does anyone else have this problem? So I have to find Canadian people spaces to steal gadgets from for now. I don't know how it all works, but what I have figured out seems to be working just fine. I however do know that I needed to add a few things to jazz the place up!!

I also added some more pictures that I found of the buck n doe on a few of my friends/familes Facebook sites. I myself refuse to make a Facebook of my own, but Kenny has one and I was looking at all the pictures that other people had of us. I promise that as soon as I get a chance (which will hopefully be tomorrow) I will get around to labeling the pictures so you know who the people are, but right now I must get rinsing as we are dying my hair. Well streaking it to be exact, if I feel a little funky I might even go chunky!! Yes we finally got out and got groceries and a few other things that we needed for the house. One of those things was a little change of my hair. Hey I deserved it!!

Let's not forget to watch SPEED tomorrow so that we can all find out who is Jr going to choose to be his new race team in 2008. I do believe that they will be airing it at 11am. Will Jr decided to go with Hendrick's?? I hope not cause I think his father would roll over in his grave, but then again I am pretty sure he did when Jr's step mother told him that she would sell him the family business that she should have given to him!!

The buck and doe was great as you can see by all the pictures I added. I even made sure to take some with myself in them. Later tomorrow I will add names of people so you knwo who you are looking at. I honestly don’t think I have ever had such a good time at a buck n doe. I was however very tired at the end of the night but couldn’t seem to get to sleep until about 3am again. This made my shift today very long. I have kept myself awake tonight by watching a very disappointing race (Gordon won due to rain) as I figured that if I went to bed too soon I might not sleep through the night. It’s time for a quick supper and then bed.

Sat, 02 Jun 2007 11:50:19 GMT

...overtime entry. Don't worry I will do some work in a bit!! You didn't think that the streak of me having an actual weekends off to enjoy was going to last forever did you? Now that we got the big press up and working this morning it means that I am now here until 3pm, instead of 1pm. I am also back in tomorrow for 7am for 4 hours. Sunday?! Serious! How did I ever get so lucky to land a salary job *ha ha ha, ya right* and work all weekend when it's beautiful outside without getting paid?!?!

My stomach has not healed but my butt has a bit. I am still feeling pretty sh!tty. lol...bad joke I know!! I really did think that it might be Taco Bell but like I said I have never had a problem with eating that before! Why now?! So I am now blaming it on the heat, cause it's been bad the last few days. Really not so much the heat I guess as the humidity really. It's been bad I know cause each day when I get home and clean out the cat litter (yes I do it daily there are 3 cats) I have to empty the de-humidifier container as well, which means the air is just full of moisture. We have been circulating the air in the house with the fan on but it doesn't help much. Guess we will have to clean the filters and maybe just start the air up for a bit each day!!

We had family supper Thursday night which was a great time. My dad wasn't there (and he is the picky eater) so we got something a little different which was a big surprise. Aunt Lynne made Sloppy Joe's and they were awesome. Mmmmmmmmmmmm!! Kenny loved how she made them so finally I will be able to make it the way that I like to, which is with tomato paste and the Club House seasoning, instead of that Manwich crap. I just think that it has better zip. So thank you L'Aunt Lynne!!

Last night we had Kenny's family over at our place for supper just to change things up. He BBQ'd some steak and Jo brought over 2 salads as well as dessert. We had Kenny's awesome BBQ'd asparagus, you have to try it....so awesome. There was so much food that I think that we all ate too much, I know I did. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm!! I would like to share the asparagus recipe with you but I might have to kill you after. Very top secret!!

I also went out for a few drinks with Amanda (mine) being that it was her birthday, I just made sure that I took some medication a few hours before we left so I didn't end up in the bathroom all night. We went to Boston Pizza for Fish Bowl Friday's, where they serve your drink in a fish bowl. It sounded good to me but the service sucked bad. Maybe the waitress was drinking the fishbowls as she was working, or she was just really dumb?!? Amanda's sister Candace was waiting for us when we got there cause her birthday is like 4 days after Amanda's so we did a group celebration. It was really funny when the two of them realized that they had bought each other the same card as seen in phots. After about a few hours and a lot of messed up orders we decided to go to another place to see if we could get better service, but they were all closed. So we decide to walk back to my place. It was like we were 18 again. I got a few pictures of Amanda drinking the wine that her sister got her on out walk back to my place, she drank it out of the gift bag so it wasn't as noticeable that she was drinking. lol!! You can find a few highlights of our night in my June photo album.

Tonight we go out to her place to actually celebrate with her and Chris. I bet you the service tonight is much better!!

Jr's says "bye bye" to DEI...

Sat, 12 May 2007 03:15:11 GMT

a blog entry made by someone that swore that she would never be caught dead watching people turn left for hours on end. LOL

So if your father was in many peoples eyes one of the best NASCAR racers and died in a crash leaving his business behind to your step mother would you not figure that some day when you were ready that business would be handed down to you and your siblings to control instead of your step mom reaps in the profits of you late father right? Ok so if you don't watch NASCAR this entry might be a little boring. I mean it will certainly help you keep up with the drama of it all but here is how I look at the story line, it could be appreciated by someone who could care less cause the story line it just that of a greedy woman.

Your parents get divorced. Your father is Dale Earnhardt, you are Dale Earnhardt Jr. Your father after a lot of hard work has started his own racing team (DEI which for those of you who are lost is Dale Earnhardt Inc), that you hope to be a part of for the rest of you life. No doubt in my mind that Jr would love to run his late fathers empire one day, as all sons interested in what their fathers do would! Your father is a bit of a rebel/idiot and don't wear a Hans device during his races and he gets into a wreck and is killed. The whole NASCAR world mourns and his and number is retired. Now that business has been left to your step mom. You would think that when you felt ready take over with your siblings, that empire that your step mother (Teresa) has been ruling would hand that business to you and rest of your family who want to run it correct?!?! I mean you are of the same blood of the man that made that company, logic would say that you hand it down right?!?! That is something that they are entitled too correct?!?!

How about she lets you and your siblings know that they could have 51% of the company which would give you the control you would like of it for $55 MILLION DOLLARS!!! Yes you heard me correct Teresa, Dale Earnhardt Jr's step mother would sell them the shares that would give them 51% of THEIR FATHERS company for $55 MILLION DOLLARS!

Does anyone else see the problem here?? It should be given to them that 51%!! Not sold! It's great that she took over the company and kept it running, but man oh man it's time to hand it down to his blood now you selfish little wench. It is their time to keep the company running and carry on their fathers name. Teresa is so stuck on how her and her new husband can live off of her late husbands name that she keeps the company for herself. Not cool at all, in fact this makes my blood pressure soar!

This has actually caused Dale Earnhardt Jr to leave the team that was built by his fathers blood, sweat and tears so to speak, in search of a future. Teresa is lucky that she doesn't drive around the track cause I know all the beer and trash should be thrown at her for sure, I mean I would get kicked out of a track for life just to throw stuff at her without hesitation. She will be hated just as much as Gordon, possibly more...I know hard to believe it's possible. Seriously how bad does it look when your step son walks away from his late fathers business cause you are a greedy little b!tch!!

Not what we had planned...

Sun, 06 May 2007 02:36:42 GMT

So the hydro kept going out at work this morning. When I got there I was greeted with a funny burnt smell in the air and nothing would start. I called an electrician cause every time we turned a machine on the lights around the machine would shut off and more around that would flicker and dim. things I assumed were transformers were making weird noises. Needless to say I got here at 7am and at about 10am I finally got my shift running, which meant that I had an hour of production. Not good. I got nothing done that I wanted to and know that I will be just as far behind when I get her eon Monday as I was when I left last night.

I went out to Amanda's for the spa day that she had planned for us girls. It was great I enjoyed spending the time with the girls more than the spa itself. I mean I enjoyed the spa. I got this facial that has left my skin so smooth and it got me thinking that maybe I should do that more often. I didn’t soak my feet cause the blisters are still pretty sore and no sense in getting a manicure when I will have the polish coming off half way through Monday and oil under my nails. Since I didn’t have to run a press today I just haven’t really worn any shoes with backs to them. It feels nice right now cause I am in bare feet and am letting the air get to them. I hope my feet heal fast!

Kenny wasn't feeling to good tonight and so we decided that we shoud stay in and relax. We were supposed to go out with my brother and Amanda to celebrate Amanda's birthday but I figure it's in Kenny's best interest if he stays home near the bathroom and beer too. Besides I had a great back up plan for us to curl up together and watch the race. Then it got rained out which sucks. I was looking forward to another night race. Guess we will watch it tomorrow! So instead since he was in need of being close to a bathroom we decided to bathe the cats. That was certainly interesting as it was Whiskey's first bath!! I got a few pictures of Chloe and Whiskey all wet, of course the scaredy cat Aprillia is always hard to find in the first place but after her bath she ran away and hid and probably won't come out for a week except for when she knows we are sleeping.

Now the fun begins....

Mon, 30 Apr 2007 00:21:48 GMT

So today is the first full day that Kenny has not smoked, I think today is my 12th. He had his last one after he got home from work yesterday. I am so proud of him for wanting this with me. He is at this point still alive. I can not guarantee that he will be that way by tomorrow.

I was really disappointed about today’s race. I get so excited about ‘Daga. Such a fast race. Such great crashes. So many chances to get some air. I thought that we might get a chance to see if the COT could fly. Very mad that Gordon won the race and took a record from a man that is no longer with us on what would have been his birthday. I am sure that we will never hear the end of his whiney ass’s gloating, or for that matter a few of my friends gloating that are dumb enough to think this guy is the best. I did however really enjoy the great crashes and wonder when Kyle’s world will look right. That guy just couldn’t keep his car in either of the races.

We got the laundry room cleaned up and most of the crap put out for spring clean up. There was a bit more junk in there than I thought. It will be fun to watch out the window and see who comes by to pick stuff out of our garbage. Maybe if I have the camera near by I will take some garbage pickers pictures!!

What a suprise finish....

Mon, 19 Feb 2007 02:41:37 GMT

So the race did not go as I planned but we had quite the crowd gathered in the basement over that Randy and Jo's. Not to mention that I think we also had half of a grocery store there to eat. The food and company was great, even my dad came out to watch the race with us. i actually took my camera but in all the excitment I didn't get any pictures. Sorry!!

Montoya did not do as great as I hoped he was going to do but he came through the race with his car all in one piece, which a lot of the racers can’t say. It was a really good race at the end and I hoped for a win for the semi-retired Martin cause it would have been his first Daytona win in his many years of racing but Harvick snuck in and won the race. It had all of us watching on the edge of our seat cheering for Martin and a very loud "no" came out of all of us as Harvick crossed just in front of Martin. Just as they were finishing there was a really awesome crash that had Boyer crossing the finish line 18^th and on the roof of his car and picking the grass off of himself before he got out of his car. Stewart took a nice tour into the wall which was fine by me, so did Johnson and Jr. both of which were 2 of my 8 guys that I have in my NASCAR pool. I am excited to see where I am in the standings of the pool, guess I will have to wait until tomorrow. It’s just the first race and there is so much more Montoya has to learn. Kid, I really thought that Montoya would have been in front of Gordon for most of the race, I was wrong, but there is always next weekend. Next Sunday is Kenny’s birthday and the first race of the year in sunny California.

It's here...it's here...

Tue, 02 Jan 2007 17:30:13 GMT

a brand new year!! (as well as my first entry!)

*~*Welcome 2007*~*

Well I can honestly say that I ate too much New Years Eve, as you saw on the BBQ, lot's of shrimp and steak! In fact I think I ate half of the Atlantic Ocean, and still I managed to lose 1.5lbs over the holidays. We did have a great time even though there was only 6 of us. I did try to drink, but in the end only had two. I just can't seem to find anything that I like the taste of enough to get drunk off of. Let's just say by the end of the night, which was 1:30 (wow I am old) I was fully capable of driving home, and did so. Matty's girfriend Amy stayed at home for the night and then ended up in the hospital for the night she was so sick, I do hope that she is feeling better soon. Sorry we couldn't visit you I didn't think they would let drunks in the hospital?!?! I even played taxi cab driver for Coop, so he could keep partying. Unlike most of the world I felt great yesterday morning!! To see more of our night check out the new "2007 January" album but don't forget to have a peak at the "2006 more Friends/Family/Us" for the end of last year too.

Yesterday we didn't accomplish much, which was ok cause that is what I wanted us to do. We did however venture out for breakfast at Kenny's parents, well actually lunch I guess we should call it, and then we watched Talladega Nights. I started to feel a little ill so I took a nap in the middle of the movie, think I just needed more sleep cause Kenny did drink the night before and we all know what that means. I slept right next to the tracks as the Kenny train snored up a storm!! When we got home we just curled up and watched more TV until we passed out.

After being at work for only half the day I feel like a week has passed. We are doing inventory and it has made the day so long. Since the guys only have so many fingers and toes we are having a bit of trouble getting good counts! The fact remains that I have to come back in tomorrow and do the same thing. I am so glad this is a short week!!I would love to go home and crawl in bed but I guess we should take down the tree tonight?!

PS Only one more month and a bit until Daytona 500!! *~*whoot whoot*~*

PPS Look below for a new addition to my blog called Song of the day...where I think of a song to go with the blog entry or one that I was listening to when I wrote it...the first one is a day last but we start things off right.

Song of the day: New Years Day - U2

Party time...

Fri, 15 Dec 2006 19:51:07 GMT

Excellent?!?!

Well the primer is on the ceiling, so we got that far last night. Which is why I never made it to write an entry as mentioned in the previous blog. The less I have to do when I have to do work around the house the more likely I am to get things done. LOL Sometimes you just have to give up the things you like to get the crap done that needs to get done!

So tonight starts our "busy busy" weekend. There is a Christmas Party for work that we have to leave for as soon as Kenny is done work. We are going to the horse races. Yes, a little weird but I can say that I have gone right?!? As well our friends of ours tonight are having people over and for sure we are going to stop there. I am predicting that this will be way more fun that the work party. I would prefer to ditch the work party to spend time with my friends but as a production supervisor it would look bad if I didn't go.

Tomorrow I have a bunch of running around to do I have to clean the house up for our first house guest (Phil) and then we are off to Toronto for a Leaf game. So who knows when I will next have time to make an entry.

You have got to love the busy bustle of Christmas.

Juan up in flames, Casey out with a bang!!

Mon, 20 Nov 2006 04:00:17 GMT

If you watched today's last race of the season then you too wondered it you just might be seeing double today!! There were 2 Havoline cars out on the track, both Casey and Juan had the same cars (of course with different numbers) and with slight colour variations to show the differences. That caused me confusion, don't know about you? The colour differences weren't much Casey with more red and Juan with more yellow across the bottom, they were usually near each other so this made it harder.

That was until Juan decided to show me how he could drive (just 15 laps before the end of the race), right into the wall, causing his car to go up in flames. He made it out very fast and safely, but talk about making your debut a big spectacle. I guess he figured that if he wasn't going to get on camera cause he was winning he would makes sure that he got there somehow?!?! Then to make things better Casey 5 laps before the end of the race blew his engine up not.LOL We went from having 2 cars on the track to none in a matter of 10 laps.

Kenseth did not win like I was hoping for as most of you know, he did place sixth in the race, giving him a second place finish overall. He raced a great race but Johnson was just too far ahead in points, and I mean the Johnson and his team did work hard this season so I can't say that he doesn't deserve it...besides as long as it wasn't Gordon I don't mind at all. Hamlin did quite well I thought for a Rookie, third place in the race and fourth over all.

It's going to be long time before February, wonder what we will do with our Sundays??

Mears last drive in the Havoline car...

Sat, 18 Nov 2006 17:24:53 GMT

For those of you that know me well you will be surprised that this entry would have ever came off my fingertips, and really I think I am too, cause it makes me laugh to read it myself to think that I actually pay attention now. I guess some things do change. It reminds me of when I told my dad that he was gross for putting putting maple syrup on vanilla ice cream.... it really does taste good! Yes as you might have heard here and there in my blogs that I have joined the world of the redneck idiots that only turn left (except for a few races) that I used to make fun of severly!! Like run around the coffee table turning left only until I was ready to drop dead severe. LOL Sorry if you are one of those redneck idiots and have been for a long time!

Sunday will be this seasons last NASCAR race, as well as the last time that Casey Mears will drive my #42 Havoline car before he switched to his new team. It just seems like last month that I swore that I would never watch NASCAR, just a week ago that I looked through the book and picked the boy with the pretty blue eyes to cheer for, and just yesterday since the season has started. I have enjoyed all the Saturday night or Sunday afternoons that we spend with Kenny's parents, especially the yelling at Gordon with Jo and lets not forget the great crashes that we have seen this year. *~*whoot whoot*~*

Now normally I am not too girlie about things...but when none of the cars appealed to me visually...he just had such a cute smile and the most beautiful eyes, so I chose Casey Mears as my driver. I am very sad to see him leave our team (LOL like I own the team) but he has been offered a new car driving a Chev (big yuck!) for the Hendricks team (really big yuck!). I figure it won't be long before he might get the attitude from his new team mate Gordon and I just can not deal with that. So as much as it pains me I plan on keeping the car cause it's a nice looking car (it's not a Chev) and kicking "cutie blue eyes" to the curb. Mind you in kicking him to the curb I do mean that I hope that he has a great career in racing as I am sure he will. He will hold a special place in my heart *~*tear tear*~* cause he will always be my first NASCAR driver!! LOL

Juan Pablo Montoya will be the driver of the car next year?!? He is not very good looking, actually he is not good looking at all. LOL I would never set anyone up with him if he was a friend of mine really cause he seems so full of himself. He might be a nice guy I don't know but ok maybe I am going too far? Back to the entry...so he is coming from F1 series of racing (or just for laughs "formula un" *said with a very thick French accent* sorry I guess you had to see " 'Dega Nights ", if you did then you get this joke!) and I am sure that he will be a great driver?!? Ok I am not too sure...but maybe when it comes to the road courses cause there is not doubt in my mind that he can turn right! He will show me what he has at this weekends last race of the season in Homestead, driving the #30 car?! So I guess I will finally get to see what I have to look forward to next year...or not look forward to?!

Could I possibly follow Mears into a Chev??

Stay tuned to my semi boring life to find out more....

Another lazy race day...

Mon, 13 Nov 2006 17:32:56 GMT

So once again my Sunday was a lazy day cause we finally got up about noon and pretty much did nothing. Well I got the dishes done and some groceries so we can eat this week. Kenny fixed the roof, turns out it was a small leak like he thought it would be. Now we just have to wait for it to dry on the inside so I can paint the hallway, finally!

We spent the afternoon watching the race with Randy and Jo. It made me so hungry for Reese cause that is the car that lead most of the race....mmmmm....I bought some and then forgot them at home....but Jo did by me Cheesie poufs....mmmmm...I am spoiled!! It was a kind of a long boring race, but Gordon is out!! *~*whoot whoot*~* and that is all that matters. There is no chance of him winning now. Oh boo hoo! Did you see him get into Edwards? S'up with that?!? He will just have to go home and cry to his new wife that probably just married him for him money! Just because I had not seen Casey Mears at all during the race, I think he spun out just so I could see him right near the end just to get on TV for me to see. Looking forward to the new driver by the way!! Next week is the last race....who will win the cup?!?

Matty cause he is the only one smart enought not to drive a Chev?

Hamlin (the rookie) cause that would just be really cool to win your first year out? Part of me really wants to se him win.

Harvick (the Reese man) cause mmmmmmmmm they are just so yummy? Hey did you notice on his car yesterday that they make Reese cookies? mmmmm...gonna have to find me some of them!!

Jr. cause he rules? (had to put that on here, Jo pops by once in a while and he is her man, remember she bought Cheesie Poufs for me!!) He still drives a Chev. Yuck! Jimmy cause everyone says he is due for a win?

As much as I like chocolate my bets are on Matty...not too sure why but I think so! Might just be cause I don't like Chevs....Hee hee hee!

It was terminal...

Sun, 15 Oct 2006 03:33:00 GMT

yes Jeff Gordon's engine blew!!

Saturday night when the interrupted a commercial to show Gordon on the screen I was mad...(it was actually a commercial of this guy trying to smell the cup...but I never get to see all of it)...anyway it was until I heard LeTarte (nice name queer)...ask Gordon "is it terminal?"...when the answer was a crying baby of a "yes"...the basement filled with cheers of joy...

*~*whoot whoot*~*

send in the marching band...quick someone get the Kleenex ready for him...(my brother, and Blake, and Chris as well) That makes 3 DNF's, count them: one, *~*let off the fireworks*~* two, *~*let off the fireworks*~* three *~*let off the fireworks*~*!! Can we make that four this weekend??

I finally relaxed...

Fri, 01 Sep 2006 16:21:08 GMT

Today I sat outside while smoking and just watched bugs, I was looking for the butterfly that normally keeps me company. I think she had a different agenda today. Normally she visits while I smoke, today she circled me and than she left, in a different direction than before, and she flew so far in that direction I could see her no more. I do need to get my eyes tested so that could have been a few feet, but anyways I assume she is heading for Mexico!!

I really don't like most bugs especially when they are on or near me, but watching from a fair distance was ok. I guess it was my version of "taking the time to smell the roses!". Some of the grasshoppers are so ugly looking and yet some of them are so pretty, I guess that is the same with all creatures. Then there is the praying mantis that are all over the place, it is so unreal they are on the bins, the picnic tables, in the shop, on the fence. I am not afraid of them for some strange reason, maybe cause dad use to catch them and put then in the fish tank, and I knew that they wouldn't hurt you as I held them a few times as a child. When they jump on you though and you aren't expecting it you sure do scream like a girl. Or maybe that is just me??

I remember wondering why one of the praying mantis never had a head after there were two left in a tank together for a while. (for those of you that don't know the female bites the head off the male after they mate). It was so relaxing looking at all these things that I almost forgot that I was at work, in fact I think I might have been out there for a half an hour. No one seemed to notice or they noticed and didn't care! Maybe I should take a break out there more often, in fact maybe I should finish my lunch out there?!?!

Something will be...

Thu, 20 Jul 2006 20:40:01 GMT

missed for the next while. Not maybe by some of you, but for sure by me. I have finally called and they will be picking up my camera tomorrow. I will be cameraless?!?!

Guess what...

Sat, 15 Jul 2006 13:03:49 GMT

I am going to see The Who!!

September 30th

at the JLC (London, Ontario)

....whoo hoo...

Look what I can do...

Fri, 14 Apr 2006 19:07:05 GMT

that is when I am bored....

I draw....

on myself.

This way is a lot cleaner than the permanant marker that I used to draw on myself with!!

Been a few days...

Wed, 12 Apr 2006 13:45:32 GMT

Sorry about the lull in the blogging, just never seemed to have th time to update lately!!

I have been a little busy and then a little sick. All I have from the past few days are some pictures to add from the ball game that Kenny and I went to Sunday. I will admit that I watched Olivia more than the game but I still had a great time. We took a limo there and man was it way more comfortable than sitting in a car, and even a bit cooler!!

I am sorry if I have offended anyone with the picture. I really don't pay attention to baseball, I just was drawing and didn't know what to put on the big blue finger.

I have lost 2 pounds according to the scale at work, which is suposed to be calibrated, and probably was about 10 years ago... :o) .....but I am sure if I just drink a bit more water I will gain it back in no time. LOL

Ooops that was a right...

Sun, 02 Apr 2006 22:34:46 GMT

Well we drove around today to look at a few of the houses that we liked on the MLS, ony to find out that the two houses that we really liked in Ingersoll were already sold. That is ok though cause we really aren't in a hurry and we found a few other places not listed on the MLS that were for sale and they don't look too bad. We just figure that sometime in the next year that we should find something, so I am sure that there will be a lot of them that we like that get sold before we find the perfect one!

We spent the rest of the afternoon watching cars crash. Not too sure that all of them got the big NASCAR memo, you know the one that says "turn left cause that is the only direction you can go on the track?!?". That is ok though cause to me that was the excitment in watching the race, it funny how they end up taking each other out sometimes!!

Now I am going to go help Kenny make our gourmet Sunday dinner of chicken and Kraft Dinner!! It seems almost appropriate after watching NASCAR doesn't it!! LOL

Bowling for...not too sure?

Sun, 26 Mar 2006 05:57:57 GMT

I guess just for the hell of it really. We had nothing else to do tonight so we decided to go bowling. I can't seem to add all the pictures cause I have passed my limit for the month. LOL That really seems a little stpuid as far as I am concerned. I mean so what I take a lot of pictures?!? Doesn't mean I should be punished, there is only so much a space will hold anyways so what does it matter if I fill it now or months from now. How much fun will blogs be without drawings?

Anyways off to bed we are going to watch lawn mower racing until we pass out. Seriously what will they be racing next...toilets?!?!

The best show...

Mon, 20 Mar 2006 01:12:23 GMT

...in the world happened last night, and I was there!! Dallas was absolutely amazing, he sounded like an angel. I have never seen someone get so into his music, it was beautiful to see him feeling what he sung. In fact a few times his voice brought tears to my eyes, ssshhh don't tell anyone I had a girlie moment. There were several moments during the show that made me feel just like the first time I heard his voice, every hair on the back of my neck standing straight up. I felt kind of silly but I couldn't help it, there is something about his voice!!

Machete Avenue opened for Dallas and was quite a treat to hear as well. I got a lot of cool pictures of both and you can see them in the photo album "THE show". I was really disappointed that I didn't get a picture of Dallas's shoes to add to my album of shoes, as I know how much he likes shoes as well!! Maybe someone out there could send me a b/w pic of Dallas's shoes for my collection?!?!

The best part about last night was that I got to share this with Kenny and there is no one else that I would have been as happy with going to see that show. I know that he had a great time too...and agrees that Dallas sounds much better live!!

Thanx CY and Blake for getting us in!
