Race Day

Ever since the final lap of the Homestead Miami race in November, I've been anticipating the return of NASCAR. Although the off season is fairly short, to a die hard fan like me, it seems a lot longer than it is.

When Jeffy said to me, "Wanna go watch me drift the Mustang on Sunday?", it suddenly became a reality, that I wouldn't be watching the Daytona 500 live with the rest of America. Imagine my annoyance at hearing Kyle's engine blew AND Jimmie won. Ugh!

So, from the passenger seat of a '68 GT/CS Mustang, I give you my Sunday....

Happy Hump Day, y'all!

In progress

Jeffy recently bought a condo, so the move-in/custom touches have begun. And to be honest, I'm having a ball!! I'm no Martha Stewart, I promise, but together, we are finding common ground.

We spent two complete days making sure all the appliances fit correctly (after having to make a few changes to the wall behind each item), and painting cabinets.

Before...

After...



Countertops will eventually be changed, we're currently looking for something cool to do to the backsplash, and all the sink fixtures in the kitchen and both bathrooms, have GOT to go. Next weekend, that's what we're replacing.

He left to go install another machine in NorCal this morning, so I've got the place to myself for a few days. Excited about that.

Happy Friday

Happy Friday Everyone. 

I'm sure nobody is as excited as me to see Friday. Nobody. Not for any particular reason. Just because I'm looking forward to NOT being forced to wake up and proceed to get ready for work.

Last night on the way home, the idiot light on my dashboard alerted me that I needed to get gas. Wasn't in the mood to stop, so figured I could limp myself home and deal with it in the morning. Funny how things work out for one reason or another.

Pulled up to the gas station this morning, and before I could get completely out of my car, a guy came walking over and asked, "Are you Valerie?" Before he could finish the sentence, I knew EXACTLY who he was. I was suddenly taken back 17 years to a time I had pushed out of my mind and almost forgotten. To a time when I was a very different type of girl, right out of high school.

We stood there as I got gas, talking about where our lives had taken us. Was nice to hear he had become successful and was currently happy in today's world. I know there was a point in time where my parents questioned that very thing. Glad to hear they were wrong.

See. Parents don't always knows what's right.

Snow Day

I'm sure these guys were thinking, "Let. Us. In. Mom."

We've lived in this new house six months now, and this is our first snow. Kinda cool, to someone like me that never sees snow. :-)





It's been a rough few days, but although I've done nothing but stare at my four walls for two days straight, I did venture out to see the snow.

Baby steps.

Depression sinks in...

...When the one person you'd hoped would never hurt you, does.

...When the one person who promised so much, doesn't deliver.

...When the one person you let in, beats you down.

...When the one person you want to be yourself around, makes you feel bad for doing it.

...When the one person you love, doesn't love you back.

Do YOU watch Conan?

Both RM#1 and RM#2 were on Conan tonight. Did you see them? Did you see them?

I've never watched one episode. Tonight, while watching, I was laughing so hard, I had tears. I don't know if its because I knew all the trainers standing on stage, or because it was just funny in general, but it was definitely a good laugh.

Haa

Let me introduce...

Hi Y'all. How's the New Year treating you thus far? Any interesting stories I've missed out on?
For nine days, RM#1 and RM#2 were out of state on vacation in December/January, and I was responsible for The Animal House. Five dogs (two of them puppies), two cats (one a kitten), a raven, a hawk, two parakeets, two doves, and a partridge in a pair tree.
It was hard work, I won't lie. There are things you have to follow in order to ensure the safety of the animals, and if you don't, something could go wrong. And I don't want the death of a puppy on my conscience. Very much like taking care of children, only slightly different.
I was glad to see them return. And they even brought me a present. A GREAT present, at that.
Let me introduce you to......

Gretta and Hans.
