Tonight is much better then last night!!

Ok so we had very strong winds and some rain. We had bad down pours and some thunder and lightning. The only damage we have is the two pieces of siding that fell off earlier last night. It is now cold again. Darn weather.

This week at work has been very busy! I'm not even sure why. Well ya I am the people who are suposed to help me are always too busy yet they are never doing anything. I asked them to help me out and they say that they don't have time. Whatever!!!!

Other then that not much else is new with me.

This week NASCAR was testing in Las Vegas Monday and Tuesday. Then on Thursday and Friday they are testing in California. Only 11 more days till the Bud Shootout! I'm so excited to see how Junior does with his new team!

Well I'm going to go back to watching my Ghost Hunters!

Take care!!!

I hate mother nature......

Ok so this is January and we have TORNADOS coming our way. Our power keeps flickering. I'm trying to get this in before we loose it all together. We have already lost some siding off of our house. I just got out of the shower (still in my towel) picking up pieces of our siding. I hate storms. This is not going to be a good night. Looks like I will miss Idol tonight as well. Someone will have to give me a recap. Well I'm jumping off here. Let's hope that nothing else happens and that the power stays on. Talk to ya tomorrow!

Take Care!!!

This is me, like me or not!

So right now I should be at my Aunt's 50th surprise birthday party. Thanks to my father though I can't be there. Here is some insight on me.

Years ago my parents got divorced. My mother walked out and we haven't talked since. It has been almost seven years now since we were mother/daughter. My father always told me that he would always be there for me. He would never abandoned me like my ex-mother did. She has hurt me so much. She has a lot of apologizing to do. Well my husband and father are not speaking now. Not sure what the whole story is there. My father sent me this nasty email last Thursday. He said that my husband is no longer welcome around the family. He also said that my husband is no longer a part of the family. He is making my life hell. He claims that my husband has been talking about him and what not. Pete has never said anything about him in a long time. Pete tried to make things right at Christmas for me cause he knew that is what I wanted. My father ignored him. My theory is if my husband isn't welcome then neither am I. Yes it is killing me!! I have cried ever since. I'm a family person. I have just been thinking of all that I will miss. My grandma said that she didn't know about this email. She kept telling me that we were both invited but my father is making a decision for the family anyway. I know that he would feel the same way if I said that his wife wasn't welcome around me either. I always get put in the middle. I tried to still keep ties by leaving my husband at home while I went to do things with him but after his email that was my last straw. I shouldn't have to have a life without my husband. I married him and that's that. We have been married for almost eight years now.

I'm thankful to all my friends who have been my shoulder to cry on over all of this. I just hope that I'm doing the right thing. Right now my heart is broken knowing that I can't be there for my aunt. Not even sure I will be able to see them while they are here. Thanks for letting me get my feelings out!

Take care!!

Hello out there!!!

Ok so for some reason I'm in a good mood right now. Maybe it's cause I'm off tomorrow I don't know! I do have a dentist appointment first thing tomorrow morning but other then that I really don't have anything special planned. I need to clean up the spare bedroom cause right now it is a mess!

Tomorrow we are supposed to get a dusting of snow of course during morning rush hour. That is right about the same time that I have to go to the dentist. Yippee! I'm ready for some warmer weather. Right now I'm sitting in the living room freezing. I can't even use a blanket cause there is so much static electricity. That's what I hate about winter.

In a few minutes American Idol is on again. This is the time where you just sit back and laugh most of the time! I think it has been good so far. I heard a few that I think have potential to be good and some that I think the judges are just feeling pity for. I love the ones that really do suck and they are so surprised that they didn't make it lol!

I want to also say how sad I was to hear about Heath Ledger. That was so sad. He was a good actor. RIP Heath.

Well I'm going to finish watching my Ghost Hunters then switch to American Idol and then back to Ghost Hunters. I love that show. The international ones are good but I miss the regular Ghost Hunters.

I hope that this week is going good for all of you!

Take care!!

I just have to say.......

That I love my friends!!! I was down and almost out last night. I called Andi (who is my saving grace) and told her all about it. Basically cried on her shoulder (over the phone). That is when she and our friend Trudy told me that they were going out for a girls night. They were going to see the movie 27 Dresses. I at first didn't feel like going out but they wouldn't take no for an answer (thanks Andi and Trudy). I decided to go and had fun. Andi and Bobby are the best friends ever. You know what you did and for everything I am more then greatful! I am in a little better spirits now thanks to my awsome friends!

Andi, Trudy and I have decided that we are going to try to make it a once a month thing to go to the movies. We actually got a deal last night. They messed up the movie.....the first five minutes were without sound. So as we were all walking out they gave us vouchers to come back to see any movie for free. That is what is treating us next month!!!

Well I'm going to run! Talk at you later!!! Thanks again not only to the friends mentioned but all my friends in general! I love you all!!

Take Care!!!!

Update.....

Just got a call from Pete. His grandma has a head cold. Weird! She had to have a spinal tap and ct scan and all that came back fine. Her eyes are swollen due to the cold but Pete said that the swelling had gone down a lot since she was there. They were going to go to dinner now!

Take care!

I need some prayers again.....

I got a call earlier this afternoon from my husband, they were taking his grandma back to the ER. She has brain surgery last November. She was having a bad headache and she could see. That is not a good thing. My husband hasn't called me since. I hope that means that she is alright. I have a feeling that after work I will be going to the hospital. I'll keep you updated!

Take Care!

A year ago today,,,,,,

The Nascar world lost a legend, Benny Parsons. Ol BP was loved through out the garage and had a long racing career that ended with him being in the broadcast booth. So this post is for BP.

RIP Benny Parsons!

Update to my last post.....

Patrick was on American Idol! He was on the "I Love Rock and Roll" montage. He was the one that was wearing the black "Dear Lord" shirt. He sang the "must have been 17" part. He was also the first one to come out saying "it's a no". Just thought that I would update everyone!

Happy Tuesday......

So today I have been super busy at work! Actually yesterday and today. The other center that is supposed to help me won't so I have to do it all. Although today I made our Currier and Docucare guy feel bad so they were helping me out. I had to rubber band two jobs and paper clip a job. Oh ya and a customer that caught me ranting about her job. She was cool about it though. I still have a job running that I'm rubber banding.

I did get told today though (after a lot of bugging) that I get next Thursday off. Ya! Although I took it off for a dentist appt. Then I want to get some cleaning done at home. I have to get my spare room cleaned and my computer room organized.

So this week is week two of NASCAR Daytona testing. Junior and his new #88 Amp/National Guard team are proving that they are good! Yesterday he was second fastest in both morning and afternoon sessions and so far today he was first fastest in single car runs. This afternoon they are drafting. Another thing that is surprising me is that the Toyota's are pretty fast as well. Last year they were not so good. Hopefully they will be better. The Gibbs teams switching to Toyota I think will help them a lot!

I was listing to my country morning show this morning and they had Taylor Swift on. She and the one DJ made a bet during CMA week. The DJ told her that she would win the Horizon award. She kept saying she wouldn't. So they bet $10 that she would. Well she did. She sent him a Christmas card with $10 in it. They were talking about her birthday and the Bubblegum Pink truck that her record company gave her. She is donating that to the Victory Junction Gang camp. I think that is so special.

Tonight is American Idol's premiere. The other radio station I listen to is sending their idiot boy to the Idol tryouts. He may be on there. His name is Patrick. He is a big (fat) dork that has a voice that makes me cringe. He also wears a fanny pack all the time. As dorky as he is I'm sure he'll be on there. We'll see!

Well it's about time to leave work so I will quit writing now!

Take Care!!

Sorry I need to vent....

Ok what part of DO NOT SPEND MONEY do men not understand?? I tell my husband that we have no money to spend on the car insurance or groceries but yet he gets something of line for $24.95. I can't spend even $5.00 on myself cause we don't have it. He is bugging me about getting our house refinanced (cause his whole family thinks that is the miracle solution, even though our credit sucks so bad). He just needs to STOP spending it. With my hours I can't get a second job but he's home all afternoon and could work one but yet does he, no. He thinks that a refinance will be what gets us out of trouble. Ya insurance is due tomorrow and he gets paid Thursday. Oh ya and I got a notice that our gas bill is behind and about to get turned off too. I tried selling the Avon but sales have been slow lately. I wish I could find something that I could do from home and make money. I wish I knew what I did to deserve this. I wouldn't do it again that's for sure!! Sorry again but I had to vent!

Take care!

A little update....

Well today was an ok day. My husband decided that today was the day to go get our new cell phones. Mine was due for a new one for free then his was discounted. So instead of paying bills and going grocery shopping we got new cell phones. Doesn't make sense to me but who knows. I do like mine though. I got a cool Razr phone. It is pink. Way cool! He got the same but his is silver. I thought that he should have gotten a pink one too but he said no. I don't know why LOL :-).

Then Pete's cousin Ray came over. He was here most of the afternoon. We went and got some Little Ceaser's Pizza and watched the Packer's game! It was a blowout and the Packer's won. Although it was a comical game to watch since it was snowing like crazy. At times you couldn't even see the lines on the field. It's nice to see Pete and Ray getting closer. They were never really close until recently when Ray's dad past away. Normally his girlfriend Heidi and her two kids come but they had something else to do so it was just Ray. The three of us seem to have a common thread. He and his mom don't talk either. She moved his dad to a nursing home so that her boyfriend could move in *shakes head*.

Well now I'm going to end this! I'm getting tired. I'll be heading to bed soon!

Hello all.........

It's me with an update. Not much to report though. I did find out yesterday that the Sr. Pastor that worked with my husband and I when we were married past away Tuesday. He was only 56 years old. Not sure what happend exactly but he was in the hospital. I have to work when the everyone is going to the veiwing today so that is a bummer.



As far as NASCAR goes.....First Daytona test session is in the books. Junior was there the first day to observe. He gets to test next week. In my opinion he looks eager to get behind the wheel and see what he can do in Hendrick equipment. I can't wait to see that next week! All of his teammates were there this week. That is his only down fall.


As for anything else that is about it!

Take care!

WOOHOO!

Yep it is a great day! LSU won last night! I finally got tv back. No more Buckeye crap till next season. They really need to learn how to win a bowl game! That made LSU the only 2 time BCS winners. Sorry to those Buckeye fans that are my buddies. I still love ya:-)

Ok call me crazy....Not really people!!

Ok so last night I actually had troubles falling asleep! I had great news! Last night Tara and Penni both let me know that they have their plane tickets to come here to go to Michigan with Andi and I in August! Ok so it was real when I ordered the NASCAR race tickets for them but now it seems really real since I know that they have the plane tickets. I actually know when to pick them up and everything! I know that they are just as excited as I am. Man I so can't wait till August!!!

Other then that I've already told ya what I did this weekend so now I'll get back to work!!! I know that Andi is going to kill me for this but I'm sorry I want the news back so GO LSU!!! See I know that if LSU wins then they will have this Buckeye crap off the news. As it is now I watch the news and here more about what is going on in Louisiana instead of what happened here in Columbus!

Take care!

It's me again....

Not much new here! I have been leading a boring life! I went out shopping today for a little bit with Andi. I was able to get a new pair of pants for work/church. I really need new new work cloths badly. Unfortantly money isn't there to get them. Although I really do like these pants! I wish they were cheaper I would definatly get more then. Andi was so sweet to me too she bought me a Dale Jr. "Ride To Remember" calendar and a Dale Jr. heart shaped candy filled tin. The tin has pictures of him and Killer (his oldest boxer puppy). The calendar has highlights from his eight year career in the #8 Budweiser car. Well that is all for now!

Take Care!

Boy is it COLD!!!!

Man it is cold here! It's 20 here now but this morning with the windchill it felt like 2. That is really cold! It's supposed to get back up into the 50's next week! Darn weather. Hope that everyone is having a great Thursday!!

Take Care!

The first of the year......

Ok so I have felt like I have been working all day. I was told that if I took the Christmas decorations down that Pete would help me. So I did that except I didn't get much help. Onaly about five minutes of help. Typical I guess huh!

Last night we went to my friend Tricia's house and spent New Years Eve with her, Matt (her hubby) and their one month old son (my nephew) Hunter. Hunter slept the New Year in. He had a rough year lol! We ate dinner, watched a movie and played Apple to Apples. It was a fun evening! I think that we all had fun!

Well I have to go take care of the dishwasher and stir my chicken and dumplings that are in the crock pot! Hope that everyone had a fun and safe New Year's Eve!
