Haven't Blogged much lately, not a whole lot going on here. I'm trying to get the motorhome in shape before we go to Homestead for the races next month. It's been a while since it's been used and it's all dusty and dirty.

Push was fun and maybe not over yet. Congrats to everyone who got through on the phone. Unfortunately I wasn't one of them. I made it harder than it had to be and didn't get the right number the first time. By the time I figured out the right one it was too late. Let's hope that if they continue with this, it's good and not just a total waste of time.

On to Nascar news, Tony's still first in points and has a bigger margin than he did last week..Go Tony!!!!


Well it's almost time for 24. It's about the only thing left on TV now that Farscape is gone.

I sure hope someone hears from the DC area guys today. I don't get into chat, cuz I'm at work when you all are on, so I check for updates and there hasn't been any. I sure hope that the 2 guys they picked up are the ones doing the shooting.

My tickets for the Homestead race showed up yesterday, Yay. Maybe this year the newest bad boy of Nascar will win the championship. He is in first place in points right now with only 4 races to go. I'd love to see him win but my heart would really like Mark Martin to win it. He's probably going to retire in the next few years and he doesn't have a championship yet.

Later.

Another fun day of trying to get Blogger to post. I've been down with the flu since friday evening and just now am starting to feel like living is an option. I haven't been this sick in a long time. They gave out flu shots at work on Thursday. I'm glad I didn't get one, I'd have to blame being sick on that. It seems like everyone a work has been through this already and at least now I have too.

I put a new link on here for a treasure hunt that's supposed to start soon but they don't say when. Just that the button will change when the time has come.

Now about the teenage sex story. I'm keeping this fairly clean, you never know for sure which family members may be reading. Let's just say I cut it a little too close one day when my mom decided to come home early from work. We were on the couch in the family room and just barely had time to stand up before she walked in the door. She wasn't very happy.
That's not the only one but it's the easiest to clean up and post here.

I know most of you aren't Nascar fans, but I am. I'm getting really excited, it's getting closer to Homestead, and that's the last race this year. Now we've been every year since the first and it's always a good time. I think we're going to spend some time in the Keys this year, so if anyone wants anything let me know. Key West is cool but I like Marathon better. It's more laid back and a lot less touristy. Living in Fl, it's nice to go somewhere that the tourists don't. There aren't to many places left like that anymore. Even Ft. Myers Beach gets the college kids now.
I just can't wait.

I put the weather girl on here to let you all know just how warm it is here. Believe me, there are days when I wish it was colder.

Thanks again ring fairy.

Help! I'm not sure why the ring isn't working. Help. I've tried a few things and I just can't fix it!
(the ring fairy came by and fixed it — again — as soon as blogger allows the template to update)

I sure hope Blogger fixes their problems. I'm tired of signing in and out to be able to change anything. Maybe it's time to change to something else.

I finally got the ring code added (after signing in and out about 50 times and I've updated most of you. Sorry Dusty, I didn't realize you weren't there. So now you're at the top of the list.

The post office has given me a day off in the middle of the week, so maybe today I'll find a new host for this and let you all know. More later.

Sunday was a good day for racing. One of my favorite drivers(I like most of them) is now first in the point championship and another won the race. The worst thing about it was that EA(yuck) was the sponsor. Now, they can't make me go to their site anymore but I have to hear about them all through one of my favorite pastimes? At least the NFL doesn't have that kind of sponsorship going on yet.

Been catching up on my blog reading, I'm glad everyone is well and it's nice to have MG back. He always was a good read.
That's it for now.

I went to my first turkey shoot today. What a great way to have a benefit for someone! We raised a lot of money for Spring and her daughter and everyone had a good time doing it. Now me, I don't shoot guns of any kind, that's just me. I don't mind if others do and I don't preach to them the dangers of having a gun around. They already know this and they treat their guns with the respect that they deserve. I don't always agree with the redneck way of life but I always enjoy it. For the most part they are the most honest, caring people you will ever meet. These people, who work very hard for their money, managed to raise in just 2 days over $5,000 for my daughter-in-law and her daughter. It just amazes me.

So here's a cheer for all you rednecks out there, no matter what anyone ever says, don't change your ways!

Seems to be a problem with Blogspot this week. It will let me post and publish but it says that it's unable to load the template file. Well, after signing in and out it still says the same thing but I can't fix it. Maybe it's time for a template change anyway.

Blogging isn't necessarily a good form of therapy but it isn't a bad one either. The only thing that's going to help is time.I guess just knowing that he died doing something that gave him happiness is a help too. It was a good day, we were all having fun and almost everyone got the chance to see him.

I miss you Wally.

Well, I hear that blogging is supposed to be an online sorta therapy. Let's just see how well this actually works. I buried my son-in-law yesterday. He was only 28 years old.We were at the party for my boyfriend and they all went out on their 4-wheelers. I can't really say what happened because I still can't believe it. Let's just say he was in the wrong place at the right time.He left behind a beautiful wife,my stepdaughter, a beautiful 4 year old daughter, and hundreds of family members and friends.
The funeral was wonderful, we loaded him up in the back of a pickup truck and walked him to his final resting place. The music was Country and the day was a beautiful Florida day, a few clouds in the sky and a breeze blowing the USA and Rebel flags.
Everyone's off of the 4-wheelers for a while but that didn't mean we couldn't take the trucks out to a mudhole and give him a good sendoff.
Ok this isn't working so well, I'm going to try and find something else online to make me forget for a bit.
