Garrett Duke

Well I hope that you will enjoy your break and that you you will have an awesome and safe Merry Christmas!

Ahhh I think I got all my sopping done. Now all I got to do is wrap and write the cards to mail. If only I had five other arms and antoher body or so to help out. LOL. Oh well. Ig uess what gets done, gets done.

Snow...*gasp*...you said the four letter word! EEHK! *Covers ears* can't say snow or see snow...no snow! LOL. I agree with you. It can have snow for Christmas and then disappear. I am so ready for spring once Christmas is over. How bad is that?

I think I have gone and lost it now through my NASCAR withdraw! I am not getting into football...not as much as NASCAR or baseball nor would I probably ever will, but I watched three fourths of a game last week and am somewhat looking forward to one this Sunday. How bad is that?

Well my dad was going to call the cable company, but ironically, the cable company called him asking if he would be itnerested in their phone. He asked about it and I guess the channel that has CBS on it has raised it's prices so in order to keep it they'd have to raise everyone's bill and they didn't think no one would want that. So they dropped CBS starting the first. And I guess for FOX that is for another area a couple of hours away and not us. (hopefully that is right!) So I guess it makes sense...

And if they do keep FOX here, then, I guess I can live with that. After thinking about it, CBS has the new episodes on their website that you can watch so I could always watch it taht way...though it would have to be my parents' computer since mine are too slow. So if it is only CBS I can live with that. They take away FOX, then I am in big trouble because that will mean no Darrell Waltrip, Hammond...or the races until they go to TNT! (Talk about a nightmare!)

Good luck with your paper. I hope that things will slow down for you. All I have to do is write my cards and wrap my presents...urrr. I was thinking of doing that tonight. Hopefully. Anyway, I hope you will have a good,relaxing, and safe break from school and a great Christmas.

Just th ought of something I was going to tell you. I didn't read the article but the title on NASCAR.com...Steve Addington (Kyle Busch's old crew cheif before they fired him...) will be Kurt Busch's crew cheif next year. Found it interesting...glad he found a job.

OK I apologize for my venting...had to vent to someone who may understand my worries about NASCAR. Ain't bad enough I have to wait two months for Daytona, but now I may not be able to watch it...errr. Hope all is going well with you and that you will have a great week!

I am soooo very worried/upset at my parents' cable company. while watching Numb3rs Friday night there was a line on the bottom of the screen that said that their cable company is going to terminate that channel starting Jan. 1st! Who would think of terminating the channel Numb3rs is on?! Then to top it off...I was complaining to someone at work about it to find out that, that channel isn't the only channel they are planning on terminating...they are planning on terminating FOX as well! ERRRR. Now that makes me mad. There goes Daytona...there goes Darrell Waltrip...there Goes Jeff Hammond...there goes my racing from Feb. through the end of May! *Takes a deep breath* I guess I could watch Numb3rs on my TV at my apartment through my digitial converter, but last time I tried that, it kept freezing up on me...as well as I could on FOX. But it is so much more convenient and nice to do it at my parents' where I know it will come in! :(

I bet that was a scary drive! I hate driving in snow and ice. Glad you made it Ok. We got a lot of snow and cold weather. Luckily we haven't had much snow since then, it snowed a little this afternoon, but not to amount to much. Enjoyed the day off, but now the snow can melt...or it can wait until Christmas and then melt afterwards.

Good idea...I doubt Santa would mind too much asking for Spring to come. Sure he's as big of a NASCAR fan as us. HEE HEE;) Now who could be his favorite driver? LOL

I think I have heard of th Stewie awards, but never paid much attention to them until I saw what Gordon won and took it that Gordon said something big or something. I was way wrong. I think you said what my dad said when I told him who won the award and why. It was Tony being Tony. I was wondering if he would actually take the chair and it would be interesting to see what Gordon did say about it, but I bet you are right, he would keep quiet about it. I guess I just don't understand why Tony made such a big deal about it or what his deal was. He has changed in the past couple of years...more laid back or something. not so easily upset as he once was, but like you said, somethings are hard to change. I shouldn't let it bother me, it doesn't, just find it odd...especially that he found it award worthy. Sorry I know you said you like Stewart, and I like him a lot better than what I use to. I don't mean anything against him or you.

Eleven more days to be exact for Christmas...and I am not ready . I still need to get something for both of my parents, have a lot of things that need to be wrapped, and still have to send cards out...fill them out even. ERRRR...it is coming too fast!

I am glad to hear that you are almost done...that is such a great feeling. Even more glad that you took time off to be home...though I will miss your messages! I have the 23rd off until the 29th...then will have New Year's Day off...they day care is closed those days. YAY...and I feel the same way. Very excited about it! Though know that it will go wayyyy too fast!

I can for a little while

Know how that goes...being exhausted by the time evenning comes around.

No Duke stories? LOL. I bet you were good at it, but I imagine with three kids as young as you have they keep you busy.

Thanks. Hope it all goes well with you as well. Just out of curiosity, who is with John in your picture?
