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?

Life is busy and hectic, I'll agree with that. As for Christmas I am halfway ready...now if I can be all the way ready.

Haven't talked to you in forever so I thought I'd drop you a line to say hi. So...Hi! LOL. Hope all is well.

Hey do you write? What kind?

Well I didn't mean to write you a novel this week but it looks like I am. Hopefully not too boring of a novel. LOL.

I was thinking earlier today...Monday is the fourteenth, that means we will have exactly two months left to wait for Daytona. Two long months...how will I ever survive that long? LOL

Thankfully I have you to talk to!

I guess I don't know much about the Stewie awards nor did I pay that much attention to them, but read who won what. I came expecting big was said, apparently not by what I gathered. I don't know...I just don't understand how something like that would get an award...

Listening to the press pass, it surprised me with Stewart's attitude. He won the race but he seemed frustrated with the media. I guess it is no big deal to me or shouldn't be since it has been over two months ago, but just surprised me going back to it and listening to it...I didn't listen to it back then, but did now to hear what was said that was good enough for an award. Well now I know. LOL

Well never mind with my question about the Stewie awards...I finally found the answer after looking through a few sites that I had googled. And boy if that was the most quote of the season, then it must have been pretty boring season as of what the drivers said.

The fans on nascar.com were right...it was Stewart being sarcastic. It was a press pass interview with Stewart after he won Kansas in October with Gordon coming in second. One of the media people asking questions began by stating that Jeff Gordon had been in the room and Stewart acted all surprised and or awed by the fact Gordon was there and even more so when they said he sat in the same chair he had been sitting in. Made a big deal over the chair asking if he could have the chair and maybe Gordon could sign it for him. (that was what the award was for)

Well two more weeks til Christmas...you ready? I still have to shop for my parents and have no clue whatsoever to get them. It'd be nice if they would at least tell me what t hey want instead of telling me not to get them anything. LOL. (As if I'll listen ). I can't believe it is this time of year already.

Hope you will have a nice weekend.

OK I am so puzzled by something...mayb eyou can help me out. I don't know. I read through who all won an award on the Stewie awards hosted by Stewart earlier this month. Gordon won an award for what he said after the Kansas race...Stewart said he was in awe? I can't remember the Kansas race to begin off with not alone with what Gordon said that was so memorable about it.

I took it that Gordon said something. But the article I read on it was on NASCAR.com and the people or fans that commented on it made it sound like Stewart said something sarcastically about Gordon? I am so confused. I have tried looking it up online and so far haven't come up with anything. Just thought I'd ask you to see if you could think what it may be. It would have been nice if they said what Gordon or Stewart said that got the award.

Anyway...I found Hammond picking out on everyone's dresses funny. I don't think any one else could have gotten by with it as well and as comically as he did. I miss him and Waltrip. LOL. I agree with you. I am soooo ready for Daytona.

Very understandable...time does fly and I bet those are time consuming. But I bet very worthwhile - they sound to be good Christmas gifts! Glad to hear all is well there. It is freezing cold here...Monday night (I think) through Wedensday it snowed and and all that off and on. In fact the day care I work at closed for it Wednesday so I got a free day off fro m it. I am so ready for spring and Winter isn't even officially here yet.

Thank-you for the help Roger.
