So yesterday was Anne's bachelorette party. I drove down a bit early and went to see Ashlie for a little while, which was nice. Got to talk to Ashlie and her parents since her mom and dad were over, her dad was working on putting curtains up in one spot in the house for winter time. It was good to see Ashlie again and we are going to try and ( Read more... )

Yesterday turned out to be a really weird but fun day. Kara and I didn't go out to the casino like we had planned because she couldn't go so I ended up making a trip out to Merriville by myself since I knew I'd be sitting around the house all day today, watching the Dover 400 ( Read more... )

I came home from a long, boring day at work tonight and found that I had not one but two slightly unexpected pieces of mail waiting for me. Both ironically enough had a similar connection, NASCAR. The first was an unsolicited DVD involving NASCAR Thrills. Not sure what is in it yet, haven't watched it but I am sure it will be interesting. The ( Read more... )

So a few things have happened since my last update. First of all, I am finally getting to see one of the former American Idols that I have been wanting to see for awhile. I will be seeing Clay Aiken on Dec. 2nd in Merriville, which is going to be awesome. :) My mom found out about the show through a pre-sale e-mail and got my ticket for me ( Read more... )

So I got up bright and early Saturday morning and made the drive down to Indy for Anne's Bridal shower. I made it to her place at about quarter of 1 Indy time and took my stuff inside. Everyone hung out there before converging on the house where the bridal shower was being held just a couple houses down. The shower was fun and included some ( Read more... )

Things are slowly coming together and falling into place more and more as time passes, which is soo good. We finally got a new person at work last night, which was very good and I got out of there only a little more than an half an hour after my scheduled out time. This is a big switch for a Thursday for me, which is kinda cool ( Read more... )

I know this is going to sound weird because everyone always talks about donating blood around the anniversary of September 11th, but there is a couple of foundations that are doing something really good this year on September 11th. This year, the NASCAR Foundation, along the Jimmie Johnson Foundation, and the Hendrick Marrow Program are joining ( Read more... )

On Saturday, after sleeping late and getting moving late, I went to the outlet mall with Missy and checked out the Puma store that just recently opened there. They happened to have a sale going on and some decent shoes available. After doing some browsing, I ended up getting myself a pair of a cute pair sneakers that I really like and were a ( Read more... )

Ok so I'm at work yesterday and a storm rolls in. At first, it is a normal storm with a massive downpour and then the wind and hail kick in. The rain blows sideways and a few minutes after 6, the power goes out, submerging everyone in the building into total darkness for about a minute until the back-up generator kicks in, powering part of all of ( Read more... )

So on Saturday night, I decided that I was making the trip upto Michigan International Speedway on Sunday for the Cup race. I was to meet Steve and others at 4am to make the trek up to the race track. I packed up what I needed to pack for the trip and then went to bed, trying to sleep but was very much unsuccessful ( Read more... )
