When I rode past Talladega on Wednesday, the parking lot was filled with RVs and campers. These folks actually camp out all week in the parking lot to see a race?

Brad....actually, these people camp out all week to party and then go see a race on Sunday. The atmosphere at the race is just as big as the race itself. It's just one big party.

Hangin on to our hats here....the wind is ferocious. 60 mph!!!! My coffee is blowing all in my face! Gotta make some more! Be here for a little while reading, then turning in early. My biggest dog is scared of rain and when it gets bad, he barks. Imagine a 160 pd dog barking, might as well be a human in the next room screaming. See everyone in the morning.

Stay safe friend and I hope your dog doesn't keep you up all night!!!

Made, I don't think it will be too bad until in the morning. Jr. did look good today. I just hope we get to see a race!

Oh good, thanks so much for the advice! He does take a pacifier and I was thinking either that or give him a bottle while we are taking off. We bought both the boys tickets because we are going to take their carseats on the plane since we are renting a car in Florida that way we wont need to rent carseats! Your older son was ok ears wise? That is really the only thing Im worried about for both of them. My 3 year old is in love with planes, he knows all of the names as they are flying over by the colors and says he wants to be a pilot so as long as his ears arent bothering him I think he will be in Heaven!

We let him eat some Twizzlers during takeoff, nice and chewy and he thought it was the greatest thing, but it worked and everyone was happy.

Good evening all!

Hope you all had a good Friday. I have made it 4 days w/o drinking regular soda trying this Coke Zero stuff, which is ok but not like the regular. I am slowly trying to lose some weight per request of my DR. Cutting things out slowly just don't think I could handle cold turkey on my favorite foods, already stopped the sugary cereals a few weeks ago, so I am getting there. Have a good weekend fellow MMCers.

It is a lot of work loosing! I have lost 10lbs so far. I count those calories every day, work out at the YMCA at least twice a week and walk when I can. Here is a link to a site that will give some great advice and support on line:

Good Morning MMC !

It's Saturday, my first day in two weeks I can actually stay home and not drive a bus somewhere. So instead I am going to do some baking and cleaning...maybe even rearrange the living room!

Have a great weekend everyone! cheesy

Wow, strong winds! My 5 lb chihuahua is frightened of the rain too. I feel so bad for her when it rains. I use to get up in the middle of the night with her when it rained and try to comfort her because she would pace and trimble but she doesn't want anyone near her. In fact it rained last night and she stayed up pacing the floor.

I heard it's hard to give up soda if your use to drinking it all the time. I can barely drink them myself. I might have one once every 6 months and cannot finish it. I drink lots of water and use to get teased for that when I was a kid. (They were not being mean about it, just teasing as in fun.) They thought I was weird for turning down a soda and wanting water instead.

My weakness has always been chocolate! I try to keep that out of the house or I am in big trouble! A little chocolate is good for antioxidants but I don't know how to just eat a little of it! cheesy

Good luck on giving them up. cheesy

It's funny how sometimes I actually look forward to a day off to do chores and cooking. I usually HATE cleaning the house. I just dread it but it must get done. Then I go weeks without having a day to myself and when I do, I crank up some music and cook, clean and organize and enjoy every minute of it!

Enjoy your day off! cheesy

Thanks to everyone who wished us a Happy Anniversary!

We are about to leave here shortly to celebrate.

I am the same way. I drink mainly water but I drink soda if I go out to eat anywhere. If there is chocolate in the house though it doesn't last real long.cheesy

Good Morning, Wonderful, Wacky Weekend Friends.

Yes, we have once again disposed of another work week and have arrived at 2 days of R&R (except for you unlucky few who must work weekends!).

Two days to relax and just watch the count decline:
Days to the Season: 203
Days to Christmas Day: 245
The day after tomorrow - the 1/3 mark to Christmas Day.
The day after that - the 200-day Season window.
Wowzers!
Then, on to the HALF WAY Milestone to the Season, May 15.
Hey! That's only 21 days ahead. (And that's the same as 3 weeks, Yogi!)

Overcast here in Raleigh at this hour where we stand just under 62 degrees.
The weather forecasters have put more rain in our future and now say it could rain through Monday.
Oh, well. It's not raining now - maybe I can get in a quick walk!

Have a Sensational Saturday, Everybody!

It is going to be a wet and stormy day here. My plan is to do some laundry and I am getting ready to put some chili in the crockpot. If the rain holds off in talladega I will watch the racing coverage but I don't have high hopes for today. I hope everyone has a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
