Funny

Signs can be seen here. They made me giggle.

Today's Geography Lesson....

Here is a map of I20 running through Cisco, Eastland and Ranger.
Wow...imagine being outsmarted by a blonde if you ever thought that I20 didn't run through those three towns!!

Doogie, Say it Ain't So...

I heard today that little Doogie Howser proclaimed his gayness a couple of weeks ago.
No, no way..I reply.
Then after a very short research...I find this article.
Does he know that I begun my crush on him a long, long time ago when he was the doc? So unfair. Yep, we can go ahead and cross him off the list.

Of Course...

My sweet little mother (who is very short) just had to make the artificial intelligence blonde joke! Nice, Mom....nice.
Wait...Christmas is just around the corner....
Funny, Mom....funny. Love the new house.

Miss New Hairdo

I've been debating for awhile to try a new hairdo. So I had a couple of inches snipped off and went brown.
It took two colors to get there and didn't completely take in some spots. So now I'm brown with red and blonde shimmers here and there, which makes for a very interesting color. I'm semi-happy. My little gal did an amazing job. But now I miss being blonde.
It's already lightened up a bunch over the weekend. By the beginning of the year..it'll probably be all faded away.
If you're upset....get used to it. All of us big movie stars do it. We love to change our look often. (Now if I could just work on the movie star part, I could afford to change looks more often!)

Don't forget to make time to vote!!

Lots of fun

It was fun and I had an awesome time. Next time, I'll remember to get a t-shirt.

When I got home, I didn't even care that I had no electricity until 5am due to a lightening stike, a small fire and a down electricity line across the street from my homestead-like living quarters.

And the winner is.......

Last pics of the night and, boy howdy, did I hollar at my camera. My poor little batteries had given in at this point. And so did my back on the 10 mile hike back to the camper.

Nice line after one of the last cautions

Not bad

Only one ambulance got used. Good job drivers. This one walked for his mandatory ride to the Infield Hospital.

Oh, I get it....

And suddenly the need for this many
ambulances makes sense.

Professional

I could not consider myself a true photographer if I didn't get pictures of the big wreck.
And for you non-race car fans out there........... Judging by the number of people at the Texas Motor Speedway (typically referred to as TMS for us fans) this possibly is only directed to three people........

The Nascar racers are supposed to drive on the track.....not on the grass.

Race Car Fan

The race got really intense toward the end. I want to say there were around 11 cautions, but I could be wrong.
That many cautions would leave a person slightly on the edge of their seat....if one were to sit.....which during the last 30 or so laps...we didn't. (We meaning...just about everyone in the joint.)

(Pic was of a guy down the row from me. His facial expressions were very interesting to watch. He got much happier once his guy won. I think he finally smiled.)

Who does a gal cheer for?

I sat next to a Gordan fan and I am best friends with a Dale Jr fan (real fans call him DJ-by the way). What a predictiment I was in...so, I remained neutral and went for the #6 car. I remembered him from the time I attended last. He was the viagra car, it was funny...he wrecked and his hood got stuck....ya well, nevermind. He's now AAA. And his name is Mark Martin.

He lost. But I took this pic to share since it reminded me of Sunday's Gordan and DJ going back and forth with passing each other. The text messages between the two above mentioned fans were almost as entertaining as the race.

I'll work on who I'm gonna root for next time. I might have to do a little research. (after my homework of course!)

I give...

I'll admit that I went, but did not enjoy it! Here are three more pics.

The joint was very messy and I was very far up in the stands ( a whole 18 rows.) Ok mother, this is all you need to know.....now call me, and I shall talk your ear off. Any other pictures posted here on Nascar are NOT real!!

Nascar Sunday

There might be a slight chance that I might have skipped church to go on a last minute invite (that was possibly forewarned on Friday) to .........drum roll please.....NASCAR!!
Exciting times! Here pictured..ahem.....if I went and skipped church----(which...shhh...I can't admit because my dear mother reads my little blog once a year).-------would be a friend of mine whom I would have gone with....if I went...

PS. Hey D, nice sunglasses, by the way! I need to go with ya next time you shop! You must have a fabulous assistant!!

Pic

I'm always fascinated by cool photography. Here's a good one.

Still working

on the Mrs. Dog the Bounty Hunter's ummm....upper chest.
My guess right this second would be there are real and just a little on the chubby side.
Here is pic from five years ago....
I'll keep digging though.

I did learn that her real name is not Beth Chapman but is actually Alice Barmore. Interesting, very interesting......

By the way....

Saturday was the very last football game. Two weeks ago we had all cheerleaders for the last game of the season and they nailed the halftime dance. I got goosebumps when the crowd cheered for them. I was screaming with the girls when they ran off the field. Awesome job. I couldn't have been prouder.
And this last weekend, we played at a big stadium out of town with astro-turf. I'll learn the correct spelling before I start coaching beyond pee-wee.....definitely before I advance to the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders!
At any rate...4th quater, we're down one touchdown and our crowd and cheerleaders were going crazy. It was awesome. I think that's the first time we had fun losing. It came so close and the boys faught so hard. It was exciting and sooooo close!
Go Eagles!
Back to homework now.....
I will now hunt for that silly Government book and wipe the dust off of it.
Thanksgiving with the family is coming up. I must cram to show grades off when I get there.

Update....

for the following post...I just found the one I was looking for. This one is interesting.
