Weekend Update, with well.. Me

So this is an odd time for me to blog. It is Prime time. This is my time for TV and thank God for Tivo, I can blog.

I have spent today running Lily to her 4 apts. then to the hospital for the study and then home. I choose to be raped once again by a bike and did spin again and I now am home. Got caught up with my girl TKW and her exciting news, then put the kids to bed.

Since I will relive today all over again tomorrow, but tomorrow will be bringing both girls to the dentist. Oh goody! I wanted to post about this weekend and if I wait until I have a moment of quiet, it may be the next weekend by then.

So we had company this weekend and we had a great time. We dropped the girls off at noon at my moms and headed out to a night race for Nascar. The drive was long and nauseating with my husband at the wheel and it was a hot day. Nothing like seeing pockets coming out of cut off shorts. Mullets. Girl mullets. Skullets. Lots and lots of smoking. Fried bologna sandwiches and lot of alcohol. Lots of it.

We drank, walked around and drank. Walked around. Watched people. Drank. Went to our seats around 5pm and from then on I was stuck in only what I could call my worst nightmare. Sardined packed with people, sitting on the lap of my neighbor. Unable to move around. Only thing in front of me was people. And cars. Going fast. In circles. FOR 316 LAPS. 316! Really?

By lap 60 I was counting how long it takes for them to do a lap, then calculating when the race would end. I prayed. Literally prayed for no cautions that really held things up and messed with my average.

But I will say, as long as you are in good company, anything is fun. I would have been Andrew's worst nightmare if he made me tag along with his buddies, So I do admit I did enjoy myself for the most part

I mostly had fun in the beginning and in the end. If only we could have merged those two together a little closer I would have nothing but fabulous things to say about Nascar.

I left with this, my husband owes me a Broadway show and a good one. One where they don't speak English. Or talk at all. Pure singing. He owes it to me.

I think words are nothing though. I will show my weekend update in pictures. And captions, of course.



Had to buy hats, of course, when you are a compulsive shopper, you even find something to buy at Nascar. I cheered for the hot guy #9 Kasey Kane









Kim: "Why is that car have an upside down 20?"


Everyone but me: "Um... Kim, that is a 7"


Kim: "Really? That really just looks like an upside down 20 to me"


It still looks like an upside down 20 (he finished 2nd btw)








Gotta show me and my boys car, whom ever he is.


And here is one for good measure.... hey lady, the 1st grade called, they want their hairstyle back.



And there you go. Fun times at Nascar.

Sunday was spent lounging pool side. Not IN the pool. Not yet, but it was nice to relax. I'd rather not share those pix though.

I'm off to bed. Well watch my shows I missed while typing all this and then to bed.
