I am so excited to hear the famed words, "Gentlemen, START YOUR ENGINES!" I am lucky enough to attend the NASCAR race at Texas Motor Speedway this Sunday. Not that I am a huge NASCAR fan, but I think it will be a wonderful time full of adrenaline. I've heard that once you see those cars race off turn 4 for the first time....you will never believe that they can go actually that fast. One of those you have to see it to believe it moments.

I hope I am feeling better by Sunday. I've been feeling bad for several days and stayed home from work on Thursday. I sucked it up and went to the doctor. Got some meds and a shot. But the shot didn't help like I hoped it would. Maybe it was filled with a saline solution instead of medicine?!?

Last weekend was great. I watched Twilight, which wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Man, they did a good job casting Edward Cullen! Then, I awoke to snow flurries on Saturday morning. After a long meeting at work, I was off to Denton to a scrapbook crop hosted by my new friend, Mindy (see her blog at Flamingo Boulevard). I feel like I've known her forever....she's a riot. She taught me this new stamping technique that I am so excited to learn about. Saturday night I fell asleep on the couch listening to my iPod and slept around 2 dogs and 1 cat. I woke up at 8:45, took out the animals, crawled into the bed (so I could finally stretch out my legs) and slept until 11:30. It was so nice. Then, it was back to the real world....laundry, Walmart, lessons plans, etc.

I hope this weekend, especially Sunday, turns out just as nice. And that Jimmie Johnson does not win the race.

I'll post about Clare's birthday soon.....she had an absolute blast.
