Life is not Easy!

I feel like a stranger. I've been here so little lately, but it doesn't mean my thoughts have been far away. It's just that ... life can get hard! lol (just in case it hasn't for you, yet!)

 

Yes, I keep putting one foot in front of the other, and I'm usually still smiling, but I've been wrestling with some unusually high blood pressure ... situational, as I call it! And while I am certain all will be well, it's the day to day grind that tests my demeanor and stamina. Like the mountains in my header pic, sometimes the obstacles ahead look insurmountable, but ... there is a reason we are on this pathway. In celebration of LIFE, I have compiled some quotes. Enjoy!

 

  • Life is just a chance to grow a soul. ~ Powell Davies
  • And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years. ~ Abe Lincoln
  • Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile. ~ Albert Einstein
  • Life is rather like a tin of sardines - we're all of us looking for the key. ~ Alan Bennett
  • To live is so startling it leaves little time for anything else.  ~ Emily Dickenson
  • A useless life is an early death.  ~ Goethe
  • Life resembles a novel more often than novels resemble life. ~ George Sand
  • Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself. ~ John Dewey
  • Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.  ~ Marie Curie
  • It's faith in something and enthusiasm for something that makes a life worth living. ~ Oliver Wendell Holmes
  • Life is not a sprint, but an endurance race with every one that finishes a winner.  ummm ME Smiley

Nothing Much

After going to bed around 130 am last night. It was up at 645 , and returning to work at 8 am.

 

Where is just a typical day there. Nothing out of the ordinary tasks and chores happening while there today. Although the 90 degree heat makes work so much worse. I'm tired of summer temps.

 

I returned home at 430 , where dinner was two cheeseburgers. Then it was to my room , where I got changed, and turned on the TV. I found on the family channel , the harry potter movies. First the prisoner, and now the goblet of fire.

 

Also tonight is the NASCAR sprint cup series race. So I'll have the live leader board going on my PC, so I can somewhat watch the movies. There's also Olympic coverage on TV too. So to say the least, it's a busy TV night. Tune into what you feel like watching, or having as background noise.  Enjoy!

 

What's on my mind? Once again, I'm in pendant dilemma world. I took the white jade one off , and tried a gold band ring. Like he wear's in the movie, lord of the rings, but I don't like it. So that was quickly changed. Now I am wearing my stainless steel / 14 K gold wheel / barrel pendant. It's rather unique. Check it out in person if you care to.

 

Anything else worth mentioning? Nope not really at this time. I have the unfortunately pleasure of having to be back at work in the morning. So, its up to me how late I stay up, but I don't really care as I can sleep in Monday, as I work that afternoon. Then I'm off Tuesday. Yay! Have I mentioned how much I hate 6 day work weeks?!

 

So, do you care to put your two cents in?

Budweiser Day

Got up at 730 this morning, and got ready to go out to the Erie county fair / America's fair.  We got there at just after 9 am.

 

Dodging the mud puddles and rain , we made our way to the "budweiser garden" and got our wristbands. This guaranteed us that we would get one autograph per person. After getting the wristbands, we went to the Agra center, and got out of the rain. Then it was around the fair till around 11.  When it was over to wait in line for Kasey Kane to arrive and begin the signing session.

 

We waited in line about an hour, before finally getting his autograph , and being close enough to take pictures of him. I am now the proud owner of a 1:24 scale COT diecast 2008 budweiser sprint cup car, autographed on the hood by Kasey Kane.  YAY!

 

After the signing session, it was time to eat. I got a couple London broils with cheese. Then it was more looking around the fair. There's this couple there, with a booth / tent , and they have a bin set up, with a bunch of rocks / gems in it.  You look though it and if you find  a gem you like,  the guy puts a piece of sterling wire though a hole that is the piece, and makes a bail. Its very cool. You should check it out if you go.  They are located in a the craft village.  They also have a website:  www.thewirejewelrystore.com

 

We also saw the new event there called the banana derby. Umm, words can't desribe it. Its super weird. Monkey's ride dogs !?  Yay, sadly I'm serious.

 

This was my third trip to the fair so far this year, and I'm sure to go back a few more times, as this is the second day of my vacation. Yippy!

 

I arrived back home just after 530 pm.

 

The rest of the night, now that I am home. Thank god I didn't get stuck in the mud. lol  I think its time to relax, watch the Olympics on TV, the wwe , and then more Olympics. lol  I'll also probably be online for a while.

 

Anyway, needless to say, I've had a great day so far.

Nascar this week

Well, as usual Daytona made for an exciting week. From the Hendrick/Martin annoucement to #1 impound to the race itself. Qualifying was interesting as well. Names like Menard, Said ,Nemechek, etc staring at or near the front.

 I have Busch in my pool so I was glad to see him win again. I could have used the 20 car to finsh up front as well, but when JJ took over you know it was not gonna happen. Though to his credit he actual did pretty good ,too bad about wrecking near the end of the race.

 Waltrip and Blaney were doing well late in the race,as usual though both shit the bed.

Earnhardt did very. The 10 bonus points worked out well for him.

 Congrats to #18 for the 6th win of this season. Thats why there is an #18 in my back window.

 

 Late
