What a weekend!

The title says it all...whew...what a weekend! The weekend started off with a fun run though of the draft for my fantasy football league. I went into this not knowing what exactly to do, but I think that I ended up with a pretty good team, DEFINATELY a couple of better choices than a couple of people on our league made *snickering*. Anywho...Saturday morning we left for Brooklyn...as in Michigan...to go and watch the NASCAR Busch race, it was so hot and humid there, ugh! While we were watching the qualifying rounds for the cup race it started to rain...there were only about 5 cars left to qualify, if it didn't stop raining and let them finishe qualifying then the starting order of the race would go by points and poor Joe Nemechek would have lost the position that he just earned (he hit the wall later on all by himself later in the race). To make things short, they finished qualifying and Joe kept his pole position. Ryan Newman qualified 5th :) With all the rain they got saturday morning at the track, they didn't get to qualify for the Busch race and lined up according points which put Ryan to the back of the field, 39th. He (Ryan) made his way all the way up to the front of the pack and ended up winning the race!!! WOO HOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! I just wish he could have done as well on Sunday at he cup race. That race was just rediculous, the finish came down to who had enough gas to finish the race, yes, I know, it's a gamble that Ryan made before and won, but, who on earth would think that Jeremy Mayfield would win????????NOT ME!!! If anyone, I thought Stewart had a good chance to pull off another win. Oh well, there's always next year.

From sitting out in the sun for 2 days in a row I think it's safe for you to assume that yes, I did get another sunburn...that makes what? 4 burns this summer alone...more than I've had in the last few years altogether! My lips got burnt so bad that they're blistering as we speak, it's not a very pleasant feeling either. SO, it turns out that I have blisters on my toes from walking so much to blisters on my lips from too much sun. Oh, and for all you people that say, "You should have worn sunblock" I DID!! I even reapplied half way through the race, especially on my face because I could feel the sun burning me. I think next year I'm just gonna wear a sombraro :)

There's so many people leaving soon and it makes me terribly sad :( I've had such an enjoyable summer getting to know Sarah better that I don't want her to leave to go back to college. I don't think she's even gonna think twice about going back to Maize and Blue country though ;) BethAnne will be leaving to go to...well...she's going to that "other" place in Michigan, (love ya BethAnne), Hannah already left to go for training for her mission trip to Argentina, another friend of mine leaves tomorrow for Iraq, my thoughts and prayers definately go with you!!! With all of you.

I start school in one week. I'm happy to be going, it'll take my mind off of things, even if it is only for 2 days a week.

Did I mention that my lips hurt? I think I need to go to the store and get some stuff for them.

I think I'm gonna get going now, I can't think of anything else to talk about that wouldn't be depressing or sad.

Y'all take care, be safe and call someone special,
Love Ya :)
