Right now I am in a really good mood. My boy just won the NASCAR race today. I didn't get to see it though. I managed to catch about 15 minutes of the race when I was on lunch, which was when Smoke was switching out of the car with Ricky Rudd. Aaron called me as I was walking out the door from work to tell me that Matty had won. At first I didn't believe him, but then I was like super happy driving home from work. Now I am just waiting for Victory Lane to come on Speed so that I can watch it. I guess that I need to wear my Matty shirt to work every race day.

Other than that, my day was ok. I forgot my cell phone at home when I went to work this morning. I got it when I came home for lunch. Other than that, work was ok. I had to work with F all day, who normally is a pain to work with, but today she was in a real good mood and we managed to get everything done without having to run around like headless chickens. I even managed to clock out like 12 minutes early (to make up for the 23 minutes I stayed last night).

I remembered to pick up light bulbs on my way home. I also picked up some breakfast taquito things that they sell in the deli. They were only $1 each, so I figured that would be faster and easier than trying to make my own breakfast burritos. I can say that they were pretty decent.

Hopefully tomorrow morning, I will be able to get into to the vision center at work. It opens at 9 and I have to be at work at 10, so Aaron and I are going to try and get up there right around 9. Aaron said it took him less than an hour to get his vision test done and glass picked out. It took them like an hour and a half to get the glasses made, but as long as can get them to that point before I go to work, I can go up there during break or lunch to pick my glasses up. I just hope that a new pair of glasses isn't going to cost me a small fortune.

Well, I am going to go take a shower before VL comes on. I should be online later tonight.

That is true. I am off next Sunday, but knowing my luck Matty will have a totally sucky ass race because I am watching it.

Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy!!

I was screaming at the TV for Matty to move his ass up past Harvick and MacMerry.

He must have listened! *lol*

Maybe he knew that I was having a shitty week and decided to win the race for me :D

If Matty couldn't do it, I wanted MacMerry to hold off Crappy.

Man, it was a sucky race for most of it. I mean Junior didn't like how his car was handling all that well but at least he stayed on the lead lap the whole day. Matty did awesome for all of it and got the lead back when it counted. =)

True that. I am so sick of Crappy.

I'm so happy that Matty won. Doesn't Junior always seem to hate how his car is handling lately?

I don't even think he said he liked his car when he won the 500. XD

But yeah, he didn't like it at all today and they worked on it but they never got it where he would say it was better all around. They would fix one thing and something else would start to happen. They would fix that and then the other issue was back a little. It got better but never anything he could take to a top 5.

At least he's consistent and moved up a spot in the standings. Now JJ needs to have at least one bad race for Matty to take the lead over again.

He probably didn't ;)

At the rate that he is going, he is going to have a good chance at making the chase this year.

I was hoping that this week would have been the week, but he's only 74 behind right now.

I think it's gonna unfold right before and at the beginning of the chase. Right now most people are just working on getting locked into the Chase. Yes, Junior should make the Chase. He's doing what he needs to do getting top 10s and such. ;)

And of course we know you don't need to be first or second in the standings when the chase starts to win. Keebler showed us that!! You have to peak at the right time.

I know, that is what I am afraid of with matty too. Like last year, matty peaked mid season, so when the chase came around, he was starting to enter that downslide.

I'm glad Matty won, but I wish Jamie could have won also. He had a really good shot.

I know. I am so happy that Matty won, but if Jamie would have won, I would been happy too, to see someone else win.

It's good to hear you're happy again - I started watching Nascar on the net this weekend because in Europe we don't see it at all, we have nothing like it. It looks really something. You got me started on this you know!
