You're a What?!?

Holy crap - is that a NASCAR picture on my blog? Why yes, I believe it is. Not only is there a NASCAR picture (Dale Junior for those who are Nascar illiterate) doning my blog, there is also an 88 (Dale Junior's car number) shirt hangning in my closet. I also have vacation time approved to attend the Richmond NASCAR Race in May and September. And here's the kicker - today, the Drug Lords drafted a fantasy NASCAR team. Holy hell! Tonight, my plans include watching the Budweiser Shoot Out. Apparently somewhere between September 2007 and February 2008 I have become quite the little Nascar fan. Gee, I wonder what could've spawned this change? :) I'm discussing racing teams with the technicians at work like I've always been part of this world. Words like "Hendrick Sports" and "DEI" are floating around. I'm also dropping names of drivers who before last fall I didn't even know existed. The sexy driver on Cathy's locker now has a name - not just rippling pecs and abs. HA! She told me I was headed down the wrong road when I said, "Hey, isn't that Kasey Kahne?" instead of, "Whooooa, look at those abs, and his happy line!!!!" She gave up on me at that point.

However, I must admit, if you would've asked me last year if I would purchase Nascar merchandise, let alone attend a race, I'd tell you firmly "Hell no!" I guess some people do change. In my case, it just took a couple times cuddled up on the couch watching the excitement in someone else's eyes. I'm hooked...and I must say, it does look like 08 is going to be 88's year. :)

Oh my God!!! You're dating a redneck. (Not that there is anything wrong with that)

And you like Dale Jr. I'm so sorry. Unfortunately he will only win if Gordon and Johnson are told to let him win. He just does not have the desire that his Pappy had.

Enjoy your Neckcar, and tell Corey (or as he is known in his nascar world, C-Buck) Rick said hello.

HA! To quote Corey - "Oh my God, you've got a little redneck in you!" :) You should've been in the pharmacy on Tuesday when we were discussing the results of the Daytona 500. I felt like I should've had a chew in my lip and a hat perched waaaaay up top my head. *snicker* :) I told C-Buck you said hello...he asked how you were doing...and asked me to rub it in that he gets to sexually harass me on a daily basis. ;) HA!

P.S. Did I mention that my redneck boyfriend is also a registered Republican? However, fear not, though I may have become a Nascar fan, I will NOT become a Republican or a Republican Fan. And trust me, he's seen the fire in my eyes when we talk politics. He knows I'm a liberal Obama lover. :)

He's converted you into his world, now it is tim for you to show him the light.

It's ok to be a Republican, as long as you have an open mind and listen to Randi Rhoades and Thom Hartmann everyday. They are the Crystal Meth of liberal talk radio.
