If You Can’t Win, Be Spectacular.......

Well that is so much what life is about...and Clint Bowyer did it in outstanding fashion...on his roof, on fire...and this quote might just might become the quote of the racing year.........I absolutely love it......and you are indeed spectacular my friend!

Check mate, check blank, check it out, but.....

I have a CHECKLIST today. A big fat stinking checklist. If I get all of this done I think I am going to throw myself a big ole party!

-Upload Red Hat pictures from Auctions and Print them (CHECK)
-Finish Entry for Contest at Scrapforums (CHECK)
-Finish taking down my outside Christmas (ys Holiday) decorations (CHECK)
-Pack away the outside decor boxes in my Storage shed
-Clean out Eddie
-Wrap a Baby gift (CHECK)
-Call handyman about removing old deep freeze and hot water heater from my front yard before it snows...AGAIN
-Hair appointment
-Groceries for the Weekend
-Order B-Day gift for my brother (CHECK)

We shall see how all this goes!

....And one for MR. Rudd

OK Ricky Rudd I wish you had some idea how much this household loves you! We were cheering screaming, yelling and THEN you get spun out by........................................................DALE JR! WHAT! If you would have spun that little shit ass out you would have gotten....

1. Booed at every race
2. Budweiser cans tossed at you
3. Lost all your TV attention
4. Totally NO sales of shirts and other stuff....
5. Held forever as the guy who spun Dale Jr out...

BUT HE spins you out....and..................................................................................................................................

Same ole, same ole.....BUT that is why we LOVE YOU RICKY RUDD!

My Almost heartattack tonight....

I must say that this ranks as one of my most memorable and favorite Dayonta 500's ever. Mostly because for some strange reason getting to this day took a day and FOREVER! Then on the last lap....my driver Clint Bowyer almost gave me cardiac arrest when he flipped on his top.........that was scary as hell MR. Kansas Clint Bowyer and PLEASE for the LOVE OF GOD DO NOT EVER DO THAT TO AN OLD WOMAN AGAIN!!!

I enjoyed doing this layout about our Godson Eric. When I saw him clutching those toys I just knew that was worthy of a photo.

Uncle & Godson Advice......

These pictures mean the world to me........this is Ron and our Godson Eric. There was such a "Conversation" going on here.....Eric had so much to "say" and Uncle Ron listened and then Uncle Ron had something to say to....it was the cutest verbal exchange I have ever seen.....

The love Muffins ;)

Loyal HUSKER fan....

Look at me........I told Ron "Even though I am away from home....I am still a loyal Nebraska girl" I got my cute little pink Nebraska hat on (which I love). It made me feel at homE....even when I am on vacation.....I land in Omaha and little tiny itty bitty tears roll out of my eyes....cause I am glad to be home....cause after all.......THERE IS NO PLACE LIKE NEBRASKA!

LOVIN this picture of Ron...

I love love love this picture of Ron. He looks so festive in his hat. He looks totally relaxed and happy. THANK GOD for this wonderful trip!


in Cancun.

AHHHHHH to have this moment back....

Look how beautiful the sky is....look how beautiful the sea is.........LOVE this photo!!

THANKS to my friend Diana.....

for painting my toes for my tropical paradise escape......look how cute they are....

The lobby was great too.....

This was the Lobby of our "complex" as we lovingly called it :) This was the Colonial Lobby of the Grand Palladium. It was so gorgeous.........I video taped alot of this....but this one of my last attempts to burn this beautiful place into my memory :)

Our welcoming entrance....

FINALLY !! I got this picture to upload!


Sometimes my husband totally surprises me when he has his hands on the camera I just never know what is going to show up. So far, it has always been something well worth the effort. This photo was no exception. This was the entrance to the Grand Palladium Hotel and Resort at which we stayed while visting the Maya Riveria in Mexico. What a lovely lovely place to call home for a few days!!



TOOOOO BADD I CAN'T UPLOAD THE GREAT PICTURE......grrrrr to Blogger!!!! I'll keep trying :)
