Talking about about the awards, are you going to watch the award show on SPEED tomorrow night? It is eight to eleven central time...or eleven thirty I can't remember. I am excited. Brooks 'n' Dunn will be the openning act -I really like Brooks 'n' Dunn and am excited about it.

Though now I am very confused on what to do...I am horrible at decision making. I am now forced on chosing to watch the awards show and record Numb3rs that is on at nine central time or record the awards and watch Numb3rs. ERRR How unfair that they would do this to me! It would just seem wrong not to watch Numb3rs at nine since that is what I do every Friday night, but at the same time...Don't know if Gordon will win or is even nominated for an award, but it would be great to see it since I have yet to see a NASCAR award show. But a new episode of Numb3rs is on...LOL

I did read on NASCAR.com that Jr has been selected or voted and awared as being the most popular driver...again. Seven times in a row. I think it is about time that Gordon wins it. HA HA. Guess he was only there for the award though today...he got there before the award was given and left right after. Said he learned from a previous time how important it is to show up after he got backlashed for accepting the award via video or something like that.

Though I am kinda confused about the awards and what it was about because the awards ceremony is tomorrow night? You have any idea what that was about?

But I kinda agree with DW when he says that he wouldn't risk making the jump over...of all the idy drivers or whatever you call them, the only one with success is Montoya. Hornish Jr is doing OK though.

I was on NASCAR.com a half hour or an hour ago and I missed that article. I am glad that it turned out OK for Carl at the end but it would have been nice if they had asked first. Though you were brave to go on there...there is still A LOT of articles on Johnson. I haven't read them, but the article and the small summary..I don't have the patience to read on and on on-line sometimes.

I may have seen the picture of Patrick in JR Motorsports jumpsuit and know that rumors are going around about her driving for him...though of the small summary on NASCAR.com that I read, that nothing is set in stone or something like that - thatJr don't know yet. I guess for some reason I am not too excited about her coming aboard NASCAR, but she may surprise me. I am trying to keep an open mind about the whole thing.

BRRRR...it snowed like five minutes this morning when I was getting the kids ready to go outside. Dang stuff stopped before we got out. I hate snow, but they would have liked it. Then it snowed again tonight, but only to put a layer of snow on the ground. BRRRR...I think I will pack and move somewhere where there is no snow and ice and where NASCAR is all year round. LOL. If I remember right...I could be wrong...but I think I remember someone saying that back when Richard Petty raced, it almost did go year round. But like I said, I can't remember for sure right now.

That is a cute age...my neice is two and a half years old so she is a little older than him. It will be fun to watch them this Christmas. To see them open the presents and so forth. And it does make you feel so great when they want you as you were saying.

Hope you have a great night...and day tomorrow. I don't blame you for not wanting to be at your computer after work if that is what you do at work. It would hurt your eyes and probably your head as well. I am glad that you take time out to hop onto hnet and message me!

I have to get ready for bed too...morning comes way too early. You sound exactly like me when thinking that I wish I could sleep in tomorrow. It would be nice. Sadly my alarm will be waking me up nice and early. LOL

Snow....brrrr! HOw dare you speak such four letter words to me! LOL. I dread snow. I hate snow. I can deal with it for Christmas, but after that it should just evaporate! LOL. Winter is so long and hard. LOL. It is cold and snowy, no baseball, and no NASCAR - strike three...I'm out. LOL Give me spring and Summer any day. THOugh I do agree with you, I do love Thanksgiving through Christmas - it is a great time of year even without baseball and NASCAR

I've been to NASCAR.com...afterall it is my number one stop when I come online . but can't really say you are missing anything. I haven't read anything since that article I think...well I scanned an article yesterday about other highlights of the season but that is it.

I was so lost as well...don't know what I am going to do with myself the remainder of the off season. I'm sorry that Mark didn't win for you. I am not offended that you wish for another champion than Johnson...everyone has the right to their own opinion and I understand how you feel like that. It would make it more interesting to have more than one guy winning it...Like Gordon, perhaps. LOL...or Martin .

Your theory makes sense about the retaliation thing...it does make it interesting and exciting. Though also worrisome of what may come out of it. It is interesting to see if anything will be done about it in the off season.

I had a good Thanksgiving and enjoyed the break off of work. Though it made it hard to go back. LOL. You are braver than I...I didn't even go close to a store. LOL. Wow...maybe he bought one of those TVs for you? LOL That would be nice to have the money to do that.

Hey you're on! LOL. Your nephew sounds cute...how old is he again? They are cute at this age...too bad they can't stay this way forever. LOL. Oh well each stage seems to be cute and fun. I bet your nephew will be looking forward to Santa coming.

Thanks for the reply, Daney. All is alright here. Not much to complain about other than no races to watch. How sad is that...never was a fan of NASCAR - in fact thought any kind of racing was a senseless sport until I got back into the Dukes. Now look at me. LOL Oh well if that is all I have to complain about, all is good. Just saw you on last night and thought I'd say hi, it's been awhile.

Hi Daney...saw you were on and thought I'd send you a big HELLO. LOL. Hope you had a great Thanksgiving and all is going well with you.

I am glad that your Thanksgiving got better as the day went on, but too bad the whole day wasn't a good one. I had a good one, but am now disappointed that it is all over and I have to go back to work tomorrow. Don't get me wrong. I have a good job and for the most part do get a long with the people I work with. I just wish for another day or two or t hree or four of staying home and catching up on some sleep. Maybe get a word or two wrote in my story that has been stuck for six months now...or h ow ever many months I've been stuck for. LOL. Anyways hope all is well with you.

Well I am on for a few minutes...but am only on while waiting for the bathroom. I do...do...do want to talk to you! Don't you say such an horrendous thing like that! I can't wait to hear your story though...shame on you for getting kicked out of the theater! LOL...sorry. I shouldn't say anything without knowing why, but ol' Rosco made me say it!

Ah dang it, I missed you! I hope you had a great Thanksgiving.

I thought it was cute. I had to share it with someone that would understand. Even if it is just Gordon. LOL. Not a week past the season and I am already missing it...championship week is next week with the awards on Speed Channel I think Friday sometime. Normally I don't get to watch it, maybe this year I will be able to. Hopefully Gordon and Edwards and Martin at least win something for their efforts and all that.

Hope you had a great Thanksgiving with lots of turkey!

Well guess who again? LOL. Sorry to be writing this huge, long, and boring novel to you. Please tell me if this is too much or too boring for you. YOu are probably wishing you didn't open this can of worms with me by inviting me to talk NASCAR. Sorry

I just had to tell you...I am watching my 2 and a 1/2 year old niece from last night until Sunday. She woke up this morning saying she wanted to watch Tinker Bell. She made it out to the living room before I had and before I reached where she was, she called out "I want to watch Gordon." It made me smile to hear her say that, but was confused as to what she was talking about. When I got there she had my "CARS" DVD out and it has a picture of Lightning McQueen on it. Putting it in or when the movie started, she said I say Go Gordon Go. At first I thought she said No Gordon, but I think she was trying to say Go Gordon Go of which I try to get her to say when she is t here when the race is going on.

I should shut up before I make you upset at me with all this. I hope not. I apologize if I have offended you. NASCAR and their rulings just don't make much sense to me I guess. The whole rivalry does make it enteresting...until someone gets hurt.

Once again, I hope you have a great Thanksgiving tomorrow...hope you get to eat lots of turkey!
