It's Bristol Baby!!

This weekend was the Spring NASCAR race in my town of Bristol. It seemed kind of sad this time, because there was hardly anyone here for it! We drove through traffic yesterday morning, and the campgrounds were fairly (really) empty. March is too early for a race in east TN! It always rains, sometimes snows, and today was another example of bad weather. They just finished the race about 20 minutes ago. It was supposed to begin at 1:00, and it's now 10. It rained off and on all day, and they kept having to dry the track. It's also chilly outside. I'm glad I watched from the comfort of my mom's house. I enjoy the August race, but this one needs to be held later, like in April or May.

Another thing they could do to boost attendance is lower the ticket prices. Actually, a lot of people get them in giveaways because since they "fixed" the track, no one wrecks and tempers are under control so the race isn't as exciting. I miss the old Bristol.... Hopefully, this fall my boyfriend and I will go hang out. The August race is one huge party!

This guy is your winner.... the back-flipping Carl Edwards! I can handle that, but I wish Jr or Jimmie Johnson had won!

Sunday Morning, full of grace

Hello! It's Sunday! It's also rainy, and it's Bristol race weekend. So is it really any surprise that it is raining? Not to me, it isn't. I wish they'd schedule the race for a couple weeks later in the year. It is so sad down there, because there's hardly anyone camping! The campgrounds are empty and I feel like there is hardly anyone here. Ticket prices could also go down a whole heck of a lot! Jeren went to the race yesterday, but I went to....

I love going over there! It only takes a little over an hour, and there is always something fun to do. We went to a random flea market, where I made a cat friend. We went to the Goodwill outlet, which is always exciting because you find the weirdest stuff there. You pay by the pound, so it's kinda cool. We went to Mr. K's books, which I love. I only got two books though. I got a Star Wars shirt from Hamrick's for $4!! It was originally from Old Navy too. 

We ate lunch at....

We stopped and seen my aunt on the way home. It was definitely a fun day! 

Molly

Molly

This little brat up here is Molly. She is my best buddy, but she has been getting in trouble left and right here lately! She keeps running off when it's potty time, and she gets into the litter and trash all the time. It's driving me crazy! I don't know how to keep her from messing in the cat box! She's sweet as she can be, but when her breath smells like poo, I don't want her kisses. Any tips on this area? Anyone a cat litter box police expert? 

Today is my day off and I wanted to take the dogs on a walk, but it's snowy and so cold! I woke up way too early at 4 a.m. I called Jeren and got started cleaning. I spent about an hour cleaning my bathroom, my kitchen, and doing some laundry.

 Now I am blogging and watching Once Upon a Time. I am just starting this series on Netflix, but I love it! Any fellow OUAT lovers out there? 

Amazon Prime

Does anyone use Amazon Prime and the Instant Video streaming service they provide? I am finding it hard to find anything to watch on Netflix, and I was thinking of getting an Amazon Prime membership. I have a Kindle Fire so another benefit to the Prime for me would be the Lending Library. I just would like to know some tales of experience before I decide. I could do the free trial but I don't want to use it just yet. I want to hear about other people's experiences first.

I am watching the Vampire Diaries tonight. I'm in the beginning of season two I think. I might still be in one, I don't know. I watch it on and off again. I wish I could stick to it and make progress, but working full time kind of kills the time I have to watch TV! Not that I am complaining, but I do miss all the free time I had.
When it comes to work, I've stopped talking with most people who work there. I just keep to myself, I'm not completely rude, I still speak but on break, I just pull out my Kindle and keep to myself. I don't want to be sucked into a bunch of drama that's always going on, and I'm not going to be on the "favorites list" or the "in crowd". I don't want to be in the "in crowd" there anyway, because those people are not the type of people I really want to have as my friends. The best thing that came from working there is my man (that's where we met).

My dogs and I are about to head to bed. It was a beautiful day here in Tennessee, and I took advantage of it. Watching two kids and three dogs wears a person out though! It was nice to see the sun shine and be able to spend time outside.

What did you do this weekend? Don't forget to let me know your Amazon experience!

Blogging From the Recliner Tonight

I usually write my posts in my bed, because I don't have a desk. Tonight, I'm sitting in my recliner that Jeren always sits in. I came home to clean instead of going to see him and I miss him. I am going to read some more of my book in a few minutes. I'm currently reading Emma by Jane Austen. This is my first time reading it, and I'm slowly making my way through it. I generally enjoy books that I can speed through, but I am making progress in this one. It's hard to keep up because it bounces back and forth in quotes, and doesn't always say who's exactly speaking. It's all right so far though. It is different from what I usually read.

I cleaned around the house some tonight. I try to do something every day, but I usually take one night to do it really well. I hurt my finger somehow when I was cleaning the bathtub and it is sore now. I am glad I finally got the laundry put up... except I remember now that I forgot another load that is in the dryer.

Well, I'm off to put up that load. Maybe.

Have a good night!

Hot Date Tuesday Night

Last night, Jeren and I went on the HOTTEST date we've ever been on! We went to the MedExpress and got my ear cleaned out again! It's only been a little over three months since I had it done, but it got impacted again. It drove me CRAZY at work yesterday, not being able to hear but on one side. Jeren is sooo nice that he went with me, and sat with me. It didn't take very long but I would have been bored without him. He just played on the phone and made me laugh. The doctor was really nice, I liked her a lot. The girl who cleaned my ears out was really nice too, and she was gentle about it.  It didn't hurt or anything but I got a little dizzy for a minute. It was awesome at that moment when I could hear again! It's just a miracle in itself, especially since I went so long the last time without being able to hear out of my right side. I got a prescription ear drop to use to try to keep this from happening again.

After that, we went to our usual Applebee's and ate, came home, and slept. Big night, right?
But that's ok, because I love being able to just spend time together. We have the day off, but I have to get up and take the dogs to the groomer here soon. Shelby, Thomas, and Molly are all lined up and lying right beside me. Thomas is such a Momma's boy!

This great picture was taken last night

Yes, Thomas is sitting on Shelby's head! They sat like that for two or three minutes before I even noticed. It would have probably continued if I hadn't scared Shelby with the flash. Oops.

Time to read some blogs and check out facebook! Have a good day!

Monday Again...

Today is Monday again, but it's almost over. I love only working two days in a row then having a day off, because it's just awesome. The first day back always goes quick, and then you're evening and next day are completely free on the second and it's great. I love that feeling. It is bitterly cold outside again, and the roads are wet so I came home instead of going to Jeren's tonight. We are actually off together on Wednesday, so we are going to get to spend some serious time together.

I read the book Gone Girl yesterday. I had started it and had to make myself finish it- but it was worth it! I actually hated the ending when I was done, but thinking back on it I think it was perfect. I'm not sure if I would read it again, but I will see the movie when it comes out. I think Bradley Cooper is playing Nick, so that will definitely make me want to watch it ;) Never mind, it is Ben Affleck!! He's all right, but I prefer Brad.

What are you reading right now? I hope you have a good evening, it's time to read some more! I started a classic today, Emma by Jane Austen. I've never read it but I have always wanted to. I am trying to read all these free books I downloaded on my Kindle!
