I am in such a camera funk. I have NO idea what is wrong with me...but the last two weeks I have missed some priceless memories because I just do not feel like taking photos. Sometimes I wish my DH would help me. Grab the bull by the horns and be a part of this experience. I just hope it is not too late. Good Lord woman, it is time for you to suck up and start a shooting. That is my pledge in the next five days to take no less than 30 pictures. I'll keep you all posted.

Race girls and their racey feet.....

Never in my life have I had the opportunity to have a manicure or a pedicure.....until this weekend and I had both. I love them both as well. The Pedicure made my tired feet look and feel like brand new, and the manicure made my hands fee like a million bucks! The cool thing about my pedicure was that I had the opportunity to have my favorite dirt track drivers number painted on them. Isn't it cool. So for the next few weeks Dave...I'll be sporting your number on my toes :)

Just some I am stuff:

I am....missing my DH which is making me lonesome.
I want...to not work on Sunday
I have...my Fleetwoood Mac CD on
I wish...it would have waited until Sat and Sunday to rain so Dave could have raced!
I hate...that hardly anyone in my immediate family calls me.
I miss....MY DAD!

My Cat rules the roost!

In my conversations with people, I talk alot about pets. I hear lots of different comments about peoples pets. Well now it is time to talk about our cat Button. I swear she is the most spoiled cat in the in entire universe. Every exit to our home, has a bell on the door handle. The reason for the bell is, when she wants to go outside she rings the bell. It works! I always let her out. She get free run of the house, but her favorite place to sleep (at night) is right next to my pillow. It doesn't take but about 15 minutes after we head to bed and we have a little visitor with us. You can TRY shutting the door, but she jumps and jumps and jumps at the door till you just can't take it any longer. Here is a perfect example. I wanted to flip the cushions on my Porch furniture so I went out and found her sleeping on them, and attempted to move her.....

Better than I expected.....

I mentioned that I was going to Brooks and Dunn on Sunday night and I was in NO way shape or form disappointed. They were totally awesome. I had a great time, considering my DH practically had to drag me out of the house....I would have missed something amazing. Their final tribute was out of this word. Singing "Only in America" with three fully uniformed Marines on Stage with them.....Red, white and blue confetti falling everywhere....it was simply............................FANTASTIC. I am so glad Ron convinced me to go!

Missed Oscar....not happy

I know my online friend Oscar tried to call me on Friday and I was sweating my arse off in 104 degrees horrid weather tagging an auction. Tonight it is a glorious 59 degrees! It is sweatshirt weather THANK GOD! Cause I thought I was going to die yesterday. We are actually sleeping with our windows open...YEAH! Back to Oscar.....I was so excited when I heard Oscar called. I can not wait to talk to her. Will have to do it on Monday.

Tomorrow, is another auction day, following the auction, Ron and I are planning on going to Brooks and Dunn at Comstock......GOD I love this state! Where else can you have aparty in a pasture and have the time of your life.....ummmmmmmmmmmm Nebraska! Check out the lineup at www.windmillenterprises.net

On another note.....I would like to congratulate my Driver and my friend Dave on a great race that last two nights! You know.......you always build up steam after you get all this crap out of the way. Flush it down the JOHNNY :)

Here is wishing my cup driver Clint Bowyer lots of good Karma in the race tomorrow. I soooooo wish I could watch you. Have to save up for another weekend! The Stocks are your biggest fans :)

Sydney and Andrea...just a couple of sweet hearts. I did this page about my nieces and I LOVE IT! It has to be one of my favorites.

I could eat a horse today....

I swear I could eat eat eat and eat more today. I think plain and simple. I got TOO hot on Sunday and I haven't yet recovered from being overheated during our auction. Today was NOT a good day for the ole caloric reduction program. I think I need to just clean out my entire refrigerator and start over. Carbs are my definate favorite. That and a terrible craving for Chinese food. I am glad I don't live like right behind a Chinese restaraunt or I would be in so much trouble :) This way I have a nice long drive ahead of me to find some. Well, here's to a better day tomorrow.

I really like this picture of my nieces and I just wanted to do something different and a little unique by my standards.

Sometimes I just really really have a brainstorm and this was it. I did the layout one night after the races at the US 30 Speedway. It is very important to me to scrap these photos from our Anson photo shoot. This is so simple, and I swear this layout is a flashback to my Yearbook days....looks just like one of my layouts from High School!

Hope protected my driver.....

Things went so well for my driver last night. Great fourth place run Dave Anson! Thank you hope for protecting my driver. I think I might be able to breathe again. I feel blessed to have a driver and a best friend.

Hope....protect my driver....

Well....it is race weekend again. Here are my Top three things I am excited about this race weekend.....

1. I am very excited that Ricky Rudd will be running the NASCAR race for Tony Stewart on Sunday. It is so great to see Ricky back on TV again, doing interviews and racing. I am just sad that Tony had to get hurt for Ricky to get some racing in. I sure wish I could watch the race, but no such luck! ((hugs)) to Ricky!

2. I am very excited that Clint Bowyer might just get a good run and gain some of his rockie points back. He so needs them and he deserves them. Here is lots of good luck Clint...stay out of trouble! ((hugs)) to Clint!

3. I am very excited because our dirt driver Dave will be driving the ole 18 (Sort of) car at Boone County tonight. I have a sweet spot for Dave's car. Hopefully, the 98 will be repaired and running as soon as possible. ((hugs)) to Dave!

But with all this excitement I have lots of worry as well. Dave has had some accidents the last two runs at Boone County and after last weeks big one, I am a bit nervous. This time he will have hope riding with him. Protect my driver hope.....that is your job!! Fly hope fly!

I swear this house is making itself a mess....

I love my house clean, but it just seems like NO matter what I do there is clutter, clutter everywhere and something always sitting out which absolutely drives me nuts! I CAN NOT get caught up...no matter how hard I try. I get one place cleaned then another one gets all messed up! I am happy that I got my entry closet all cleaned...it is like a gift when I open the doors. There are days when I just want to lock the doors and runaway. I need a flippin maid! Or a kid :) I would love to have a nice Saturday, but it is going to be clean toilets, do laundry, wash windows...blah, blah, blah!

I had this idea in my head for a long time but just couldn't get it down. Then when my scrapbooking site posted this design as a layout challenge, I knew that was it! This is one of my very favorite layouts...ever. I hope Dave loves it as much as I do....cause I am done Christmas Shopping for Dave :)
