Big Red Fever?

Or a Nebraska shirt fetish? One way or another that is a TON of shirts I have. I have a Nebraska shirt for any type of weather.

Ron left today on a Three day business trip to Atlanta. So in an attempt to avoid the heat outside at any cost, to curtail my extreme bordem, and fill my "no NASCAR Sunday" blues, I decided to sort out my clothes closet. I decided to split my Nebraska shirts in half, half home, half cabin....HOLY CRAP that was NOT a problem at all.....I could have packed a whole other suitcase with them.

My endless collection of every type of Nebraska shirt ever produced....OK it's not THAT bad :) 
Did I mention it was hot at H*** today as well.......as well as almost every day in July? I had my AC turned to 68 and here was the temperature in my house. I was sweating! That's how hot it was outside. I  swear that my roof was so hot my AC couldn't keep up.


and here you have it! The temperature gauge does not lie. UGGHHH. Is it October yet?

Cuddle bug

I just love it when I know that Cheerio is all snuggly and comfortable......I took this picture of him nestled in the pillows on our chair. He was totally happy........

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.......
