The Countdown is On!!

Only 8.5 hours to go!! I can't wait. This is the only show that I am addicted to. The question of the season is...Will Grey and McDreamy get married or should I say, stay together?? (I hope so!!)

This Past Weekend

On Saturday night, we went to the truck races out at the speedway. We tailgates before with hot dogs and hamburgers. That's the way to do it so you miss all the traffic coming in. The races were fun. I had never been to a race prior to this. It was a really close finish so it was worth waiting until the end. After the race they had a firework show but we were in such a rush to beat the traffic out that I didn't get to watch it.

Early, early, early Sunday morning (5:00am to be exact) we went to the Balloon-a-Palooza. We got there early so that we could watch the hot air balloons blow up and take off. I tell you getting a hot air balloon blown up is quite the chore or at least it looked like it. Every balloon was different and there was at least 20 balloons. They also had a whole bunch of booths set up with different kinds of food. There was carnival rides, carnival games, and the traditional corn dog, funnel cakes, and cotton candy.

3 Down and 1 To Go

Just a "twilight" update...


So I just finished this one. This one was a little harder for me to get through this one. I skipped a few parts through out but it wasn't bad by all means. The end though was worth the read and definitely leaves you hanging for the 4th one. I am excited to get started with this one. I am a little worried because it is a bit longer and like I said I don't read much but I am excited. We shall see...

Say Goodbye to Brace Face!

Tarin has been waiting for this day for 2 years. This morning the braces came off! She looks so much older to me. In honor of this day, I dedicated a special video to her. See the video below.

Mervyns

I have came to the conclusion that I absolutely, 1oo%, hate Mervyns. I guess just the one by my house really because I'm not sure how the other locations are but it is like little Havana in there. They have Mexican music playing on the radio. All of the announcements that come over the intercom are in Spanish. More than half of the employees barely speak English. All the customers don't speak English, except for the 5 white customers through out the entire store. They had a sign up the other day that said "Come celebrate Mexican Independence Day at Mervyns." The special that was going on that day was in Spanish so I am not sure what it said. Walking around the store was a homeless woman with a piece of paper in her hand. She was walking up to people holding the paper out for them to read. I didn't give it enough time to read what it said. And on top of all this the store is a complete disaster. It's not that I am prejudice because I date a Mexican but I just don't think it is right that we live in America and speak English but yet we are accommodating to those who don't speak English. I hope I am as lucky as Jamie and Mervyns will read my blog. Not that I am ever going back but just so they know my opinion. Sorry if I offended anyone.

Cricut Addiction

I am officially addicted to the Cricut. I spent all day Monday playing around with it. I cut letters after letters and shapes after shapes. This is what came out of my addiction:
