Another night of racin is upon me.....

Missing Driver race last week was about the death of me. Just didn't have enough from the first week :) I am going racing with the team tonight and I couldn't be more thrilled. Missing racing for a vacation is somewhat exceptable, but I thought I was going to die, watching the clock, watching the boards, phoning Driver's poor son (that will teach that kid to ask for a cell phone) :) So tonight.....it is in person. Live in person racing for me. YEAH! I couldn't be happier....well if was just a little warmer.

Beth's Scrapjazz blog topic.....

Thanks to my fellow scrapbooker Beth at Scrapjazz...I finally have something to post about :) Seriously, she always goes through the effort of thinking of topics and this is the first time I have been able to actually participate. My first job.....well it seems like it was forever ago, but I remember it clearly. It might be hard for me to explain what my first job was, because it was an ag related job, but i'll try.
OK...I rode beans.....Now, for the explanation. You have a field of Beans...not grean beans..but field beans. What I did was ride on the machine that was attached to the front of a tractor. On this machine were Seats with spray wands, each person had a row that they rode down, as we rode through the filed using the spray wands to spray weeds in the our row. It was a great way to get some sun...and I did it for my Dad before I starting riding for other people. It was usually pretty hot. When I rode I always wore long pants and long sleeves, because we used a pretty potent chemical to kill the weeds. I can still remember my first "non Dad" check. It was a pretty big deal in my life to have a check that was my very own to depost. I felt so grown up!
Riding beans just takes me back to the days of doing it for my Dad. I enjoyed being outside, being with my Dad and feeling like I was really accomplishing something. I loved working for my neighbor too, but loved helping Dad...cause he always had Candy bars :)

Thank you Scott!!

I am on cloud Nine right now. OK about a week or more ago my main computer died. I was paralized with fear because the last time....I lost ALL my precious photos.......it about killed me.
I was so worried, that once again I would be in a funk for a week mourning my photos, but our trusty IT guy Scott, saved my precious photos for me.
What lesson did Kristin learn...again....BACK IT UP DUMMY! So in honor of my salvation, I decided to post a picture that I would have lost if Scott wouldn't be a computer genius and saved it all.....here it is. This is me at the Kansas Nextel Cup Race. As you can clearly see, I was in charge of transporting everything. Our tickets, our program, our scanner, our headphones, even our beverage of choice. If it wasn't for Scott I would have lost the only proof I have that I indeed do carry absolutely everything when we travel :)
