Good Weekend

This weekend has been a good weekend. I didn't have to work on friday because they were closed so that was a bonus!

Saturday was a good day! The Nationwide race was on! DJ ended up 33rd which is very good for his first attempt on a super speedway! So that was awesome!
Yesterday was the Daytona 500! We went to a Party at the Robson's! I went up earlier to help make Jello shooters! I think we made 300ish probaly more. I drank a lot! It was a good party! We had lots of fun! Ryan Newman won, it was nice to see a different winner every once in a while.

Other then watching racing i didnt get up to much... Today is Family day... just like any other day.. we are all sitting at home doing the usual! But it is a good day to have a holiday. the day after the Daytona 500!

WoooHoo!!

Today was Nationwide Qualifying... after 3 hours of qualifying DJ finally went out.. with the go or go homers... he was 2nd last to go out of 53 cars... He starts 18th! Awesome for him!
So my sadness for Patrick has been over lapped by Happiness for DJ!

Patrick Carpentier

So, Today were the Gatorade Duels at Daytona. Which set the field for the Daytona 500 on Sunday. As i see it they have made it pretty damn confusing to set the field.. but that is NASCAR for you. So the first duel went well, Dale JR won... but I was waiting for the 2nd Duel... which Patrick was in.. He was doing AWESOME and up to like 7th since he is a go or go homer he had to be 1 of 2 of the go or go homers to make it into the race, and for 75% of the race he was the first go or go homer.. ya confusingness.... then he started getting lose and tapped the wall a couple of times until he eventually blew a tire... :( Man i was so upset I was yelling and screaming and punching the table.. but that didn't help him get in... I have no voice left right now from it... If it would of just been normal qualfying he woulda been in
For those of you who don't know why I was so upset that Patrick didn't make it is becuase: In 2006 he drove our race car in CASCAR.. and since then I have followed his career and stayed in close contact with his "people" as we call them, we email each other back in forth with updates about each others teams and what not... so i have a personal connection to Patrick. It was so much easier watching racing when everyone was on equal level.. me not knowing any of them... haha... so that is why I was so upset that he didn't make it...

So other then that.. ya not much is happening.. Watching Truck qualifying right now. Tomrrow we will be watching Nationwide qualifying cheering on another Canadian DJ Kenningtion.. And we will be watching the Nationwide race saturday.. and of course Sunday we will be watching the Daytona 500 . I am not sure who I will be cheering for.. Probaly Kasey....

Cold!

Today its very cold outside. I was just outside with DeLana and we almost froze. Not as bad as last night though.. it felt like i got frost bite it had to have been about-35 with the wind chill...

So today we aren't up to much. My mom is attempting to design crew shirts for her and I. I just give her my input since I can't draw worth a crap. So it is a pretty boring day, although its nice that the sun is shining!

We are thinking of opening up a business, but not sure what kind of business. Any Ideas?

Hmm...

Well today while my mom and I were out DeLana thought it would be a good idea to eat the couch... Good thing our furniture is old.. but still, we were not very impressed. I guess we may have to get the crate back from my neighbour and put her back in there while we go out again.

So I have been on a job search big time this week... I've been applying left, right, and center it seems- Printing out application's, applying online, sending e-mails, taking applications in.. you name it...I applied online at McDonalnds,, not being serious or anything.. and they called me back... not sure if i wanna do it.. but i have an interview on Friday... as of now Money is money and something will do for now until race season starts up again.... I also got a call from IHRA today which i applied at about a month ago, I am suppose to fill out a form of weekends I am free of when I can work and send it back to her... So I am patiently waiting for the final NCATS schedule so I can fill that form out.. so maybe i can do both NCATS and IHRA.. that'd be awesome:) I also took my application into Tim Hortons today and The Beer Store, but since I can't really work evenings or weekends, the beer store said nooo wayy thats when we need you... That is the extent of my job search so far, who knows what else I will hear this week....

Tomrrow (if the weather is half decent) I am going to go out and do some shopping with Larissa, then I am going to get my eyebrows done in the later afternoon..

We canceled our tickets to Lima for the AMA flat track race, even tho we dont know the NCATS schedule yet... we figured if the race doesn't fall on the saturday we will just buy a general admission ticket... we won't cancel our room until we for sure know the NCATS schedule...:( But the Lady was good about it, she is going to hold our usual tickets for 2009:)

Anywho, thats all I can think of for now...

Boring

Well it's Saturday night and im sitting at home (no susprise) but I am bored tonight.
Since I lead a boring life, i've figured maybe i would start blogging some more... Might give me something to do...
So maybe tonight I will list a couple of things that I am looking forward to in the next couple of months
- Next Saturday my neighbour is having a lil get together.. we will eat lots and drink lots:)
- The Daytona 500- Marie is having a party.. we will drink lots. I am going to help Tammy make Jello Shooters, and I am going to make a baileys cake.
- I may be working a couple days for my dad as he WON a trip to the Daytona 500.
- The NASCAR Canadian Tire Schedule coming out, so that I find out if I can go to the AMA Race in Lima Ohio.. and so that I can start planning our big party.
- Possibly going to the PBR (Professional Bull Riders) Canada in London, if it doesn't fall on the same weekend as a race.

Thats all I can think of for now..
Be sure to check back regularly as i PLAN to post more often now:)
