mixed feelings about end of race

On one hand, Dale Jr did make a great comeback, on the other hand, Carl Edwards has proven to be such a jerk that it was sad. I really like Brad Keselowski, and what Carl did to him at the end was dangerous and so uncalled for. Makes me sad, because Carl was one of the guys that I would cheer for sometimes. Not anymore.

WooHoo!!!!

DALE JR WON THE POLE AT ATLANTA!!!!!!!

Las Vegas

And the robot wins again-:(( sigh, congrats to Jimmie Johnson, you gotta hand it to him and his team, they've got this racing thing figured out. Junior did ok, actually moved up one spot in points. Now on to Atlanta, he always does really well there~hugs

qualifying at Las Vegas

So close to getting the pole for Vegas, but 4th is good too so yay Junior! Can't wait for the race on Sunday, it should be a good one~

In case you couldn't tell I haven't been doing too much stitching lately. Just can't seem to settle down for long periods of time. I'm blaming this on spring fever/cabin fever. Spring can't get here fast enough for me~ :0)

Fontana, California race

That's it, I've decided that Jimmie Johnson is a robot! Congrats to him and Chad for winning(again!)lol. Poor Junior, just can't catch a break. Hope next week is a better race for him-I live in hope!

Daytona 500

Whoohoo! Congrats to Jamie McMurry for winning the Daytona 500, and man oh man, how about that Dale Jr?!! He made that last lap so exciting, best lap of the whole race! My daughter and I were screaming at the tv, it was awesome even if he didn't win. The nascar season is off to a great start this year!

Is it time yet?

I'm ready for some nascar racing, is it time yet? lol

Happy 4th of July

Hope everyone had a safe and happy 4th of July! We stayed home and did fireworks with family, it was alot of fun. All the neighbors around did them for like 3 days/nights in a row, they put on some great shows!

Watched the race last night, it was pretty boring actually until the end. I sort of lost interest when Junior got wrecked. Congrats to Tony Stewart for the win, I'm glad that all the drivers made it out safely-even peanuthead Kyle. Who I hoped learned a lesson. Which I doubt he did, but oh well~

Talledaga/Nascar

Wow! What a race that was! Big congrats to Brad Kaselowski for his first cup win, and awesome Dale jr, got 2nd! Moved up in the points too! I was soo thankful to see Carl Edwards get out of his car, and Ryan Newman too. That was a cool thing Carl did, running across the finish line, lol. and his interview was very classy, I agree with all he said. Nascar created the stituation that caused that wreck and Brad didn't do anything wrong at all. Me and hubby were cheering all out for Carl when he got out and ran across the finish line!



Speaking of cars, the transmission in ours went kablooey~big sigh, we got our second vehicle up and running well enough for now. We're hoping to trade it in this weekend for a truck, we live in the country and we really need one. We don't really want a car payment, but what can we do? We live almost 35-40 miles from hubby's job and moving is out of the question. Ah well, the Lord will provide!



I'm back to working on a RR this week so no new xstitch pics for awhile. I'm working on a freebie from broderie.net, it's a really cute one color pattern of a little girl doing xstitch. I'm doing mine on 28 count evenweave with dmc #332, I'll post a pic when it's finished~

I missed the race this weekend

Lol, I completely missed the race on Saturday, didn't even think of it. Oh well, sounds like I didn't miss much. Congrats to Mark Martin for winning, that's pretty cool. Poor Jr, seems like he had a bad day. :(0

I've been busy stitching on a couple of RR's this past few weeks. I've finished those and will be mailing them out this week sometime. I can't show them to you as we are all waiting to see the finished projects when we get them back. Now I'm stitching on my Dark Cherry for haed's freebie sal. I missed the last 2 sal's on the bb, so I'm making up for lost time. When it gets lighter I'll take a pic for you to see, hugs Christine

nascar/Texas

Yayy! Jeff Gordon finally won at Texas! And Jimmy Johnson did well too, what a comeback from the struggles he had all day. That's why he's a repeat champion. And good job to Dale jr and crew, what a great day he would've had if *&%&* hadn't RUN into him on the restart. Seriously, it's called RACING, not bumper cars. With him being 2 laps down I thought it was just uncalled for.
Jeff looked real good in his cowboy hat, eh?! ;0)

Martinsville/Nascar

Yayy!! I really enjoyed watching the race this time! Congrats to Jimmy Johnson for winning, loved how he moved Denny Hamlin and took over the lead, it was very exciting towards the end. Jimmy got cheers from me that are usually reserved for Dale jr, lol. And it was great seeing Jeff Gordon lead so many laps, he had a great day too. And of course Dale jr did pretty great as well, 9th place finish and moved up to 16th in points! Now on to Texas, loove Texas! ;0)

Bristol/Nascar

Umm, will the real Bristol please stand up? Where was all the beating and banging, temper tantrums? I will not even grace you with my opinion yet again of Kyle Bush-insert eyeroll here. And Dale jr, 14th place is ok, but seriously seemed like you were stuck in quicksand, lol. Never really moved forward at all and thank God for the lucky dog! Anyhoo, moved up to 19th in points so that's good. Moving forward is a good thing. Even if the racing is BORING. smiles and hugs~

nascar/Altlanta

Another fairly good finish for Dale jr-11th not so bad considering the race was a joke. I was once again bored. Bored, bored bored. At this rate I would not consider paying $$ to go see a race at one of the tracks. Dale jr is pretty much the only reason I stick with it on Sundays~

On a different subject, it's springtime here in the Sooner state. All my daffodils are blooming along with the bridal wreath bushes, the firebushes, and the plum & peach trees as well. They are kind of sparse though compared to before the icestorm. And it's been so dry as well. I've reclaimed another part of my yard, I'm hard at it getting branches etc. picked up and piled up. Not much else to do with it at the moment, certainly can't burn it lol. So I'll make compost out of it. That's a good thing, right?!

I've been stitching a little bit. I've slowed down somewhat as I need to get my eyes checked. It's getting hard to focus on the small print and I've been getting headaches. Doesn't help that I've had a cold/allergies all in one for the last week or so. Welcome springtime! lol

Sunday at Vegas

Don't really have much to say about it really. Thank God Jr finished and in 10th place no less, and congrats to Jeff Gordon leaving with the points lead!!

Daytona 500

Well, what can I say? To Matt Kenseth-yayyy Congrats on winning, couldn't have happened to a nicer guy! To Brian Vickers-sucks to be you, have you forgotten Talledega? I haven't, and even though Dale Jr says it was an accident, you had it coming. To Vile Kyle-really sucks to be you, I'm still chuckling as I think of your squished up car-thought about making a screensaver out of it but decided it would seriously mess up my computer. And most importantly-Dale jr, I'm still proud to be your fan and am looking forward to next week!
Other than that, the race was extremely boring. Kinda just blah~lol

the Bud shoot-out

Congratulations to Kevin Harvick on winning the Budwieser shoot-out! It was an exciting race, Jr did well even though he got caught up in a crash towards the end :( I was hoping Jeff Gordon would win after that but didn't happen. The nascar season is back in action, all is well in my little world! lol hugs

I'm cruising now!

I got highspeed internet for Christmas! OMG!! I've been having a blast visiting all the sites people talk about that I just couldn't load with the dialup, it is soo much fun!
And hubby bought me a jr fanclub membership today too! Isn't he sweet? I'm all set for the 2009 racing season now! ;0)
