What a Week So Far!

Okay, here goes my weekly recap so far and only because I’m really needing a break from paper writing!  So, logically (of course!), I’m taking a break from writing to write.  Don’t ask, because it makes perfect sense to me and besides, I truly need to empty the mush from my brain before it… well, we won’t go quite that far.

This has definitely been a wild week!  And to think, it is only Wednesday!  So that means that I still have three more days before it is over and I’m wondering exactly what is going to happen by then.

Let’s give a little bit of background first shall we?  How about we start with last Friday, as this is a very important day?

My New Racing Home

Walking down Pit Road at Lowe's Motor Speedway.

Well, I must say that I think I found my new racing home and it is Charlotte!  Even though Jimmie Johnson won, I still loved the whole experience with a few exceptions:  Pit Road passes/Driver Introductions (I will save my money because it really wasn’t worth it and I’ll explain later).

When my CH arrived home from work Saturday morning, we set out to leave.  I had to drive us because obviously, my CH had worked all night and was tired.  It is okay, because I really love to drive.  In fact, I’m more comfortable driving than having CH drive us, because between you and me, his driving scares me.

When we arrived at the track,

Well It is Official: I am No Longer Wanted

I have mentioned before that I’m a closet NASCAR fan.  I’ve also mentioned before that I’m a huge Tony Stewart fan.  But did you know that for the last 9 years I haven’t sat down and watched a race with anyone?

It’s true.

And do you want to know why?  It has something to do with what happened during Sunday’s race…

My Funny for the Night

Okay, as much as I talk about my favorite Race Car Driver (Tony Stewart, for those who don’t know.  And I try to find a way to add his name into every single post, don’t I?) on here, I was chatting with a friend on Facebook this evening.  And believe it or not, it wasn’t about Tony Stewart.  Hahaha  It was actually about next semester at school.  But anyhow…

We chatted on the IM for about an hour or two and then her husband came home.  She said, “D___ said, ‘Tell Martha Stewart, hey.’”

My first thought was, “Oh my God, he’s been reading my blog!”

She said, “I don’t know why he calls you that.  He’s been calling you that since he met you that night.”

I don’t mind.  I just wish my Tony was Tony Stewart!  That’s what I told her.

In case you didn’t know, I’m married to Tony. i.e. my Chubby Hubby!

Road Trippin’

My son, Kyle, and I at Michael Waltrip Racing for Press Conference

Sometimes in life you just have to say at the last minute, “I think we need to take a road trip today.” 

That was what I said at 1am this morning to my husband after reading Michael Waltrip’s twitter that said, “You can get in for free and join the festivities.”  So what to do, what to do.

Yep.  You go to North Carolina and join the fun….
