The great appliance debate

These babies were delivered to our new house today. I decided to switch from Front Loaders (which are selling with our house) back to top loaders. I felt that the top loading model had more capacity than the front loading model I previously owned. I felt that the new front loading models were just TOO big and took up half my laundry area. When the delivery guy brought the set he informed me that the New Front loaders have MUCH more capacity then the top loaders. Well, I am not one to argue with someone whose been in the business for so long BUT all I know is.........I could sit in the washer........

So far I am very happy with my purchase. But then again I have only washed two loads.

Old signs

Just for your information.......buy the Big Bugles Bag on the right. Why you ask? Because the Bugle Bag on the right has the Current Car and Driver Jeff Burton on the bag. The bags on the left have Former Car, driver and Number Clint Bowyer who I personally know for a fact does NOT drive the 33 car............but rather is the capable pilot of the #15 Five Hour Energy car for Michael Waltrip Racing. Makes you wonder how many of those Clint Bags are sitting in a warehouse somewhere........

Being a NASCAR fan = Valuable information while purchasing groceries...who knew!

Days alone......

I was soooooo upset that I spent ANOTHER day alone while Ron was working on our pivot....Until I found this, which I thought was an "ad" turned out to be the nicest little saying. I left this sit on my desk because I was so darn mad that Ron was showing me another ad or story about the farm program........

Here it is:

You are the Cheese to my Macaroni. You are the Horizon to my Sky. You are the Bacon to my Eggs. You are the laces to my sneakers. You are the Jelly to my Peanut Butter. You are the smile to my Face. You are the Gravy to my Mashed Potatoes. You are the Bubbles to my Bath. You are the Milk to my Cookie. You are the Ink to my pen. You are the Ketchup to my French Fries. You are the Water to my Ocean. You are the Icing on my Cup cake........

I so wish I would have read this earlier. I was so distracted by thinking it was another "ad" or story about something that didn't float my boat I missed this sweet little gesture by Ron......

I am sooooooo sorry....next time I promise to read what you put in front of me no matter what it is.......

Ron and Kristin

Root Beer and Victory Lane.........

I was so stinking excited when my NASCAR Driver Clint Bowyer won on Sunday. His first season at Michael Waltrip Racing and a win! I forgot to do my usual OMG my driver won photos. So I watched the replay of the race on speed today while doing some stuff in my house.

Clint and the Pace Car.............right before the last caution.........

And the WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER is.....CLINT BOWYER

The Burnout Champ....has the opportunity to do it for real. 

I gave up drinking Pop almost three years ago, but my monthly treat? A Big ole can or fountain of Bargs Rootbeer. I never really drank all that much rootbeer before but Rootbeer once a month is better than Diet Coke every day. It reminds me of riding with my Dad in the Truck taking cattle to Verdigree loaded with cattle and stopping in Tilden for a Rootbeet float. I have NO idea what Rootbeer they used but I can almost taste those floats in the truck with Dad.....and sometimes we had them with Hamburgers at home.........

Bargu's........my special treat........

Give me a trophy.....

and I will do anything to celebrate a Clint Bowyer win! Especially, when it was his first win with his new team! I am an idiot. I had my friend take this picture of me. This is actually a trophy that my friend Dave gave me when he won at the Boone County Raceway. I LOVE this trophy and I am little worried about my sanity at this point :)

It was a great day. I love when my driver wins but this was extra special! It proved ALOT to all those debby doubters....way to Go Clint!
