Gems, Smurfs, & Racing

Wonderful Jewels was kind enough to officially name me one of her "Gems," and I couldn't be happier. If you haven't visited her blog, you are in for something special. I'm so grateful to have met her during this adventure in blogging. Hop on over to her site, say "hi," and you'll find a dear friend.



So, I promised to share a picture of Panicky Smurf with y'all. Here he is. And, yes, it's an expression I wear well. In fact, I'm fairly certain this is how I looked during the majority of the Dallas Mavericks run for the Championship.




After last weekend's (well, Monday morning's race, since there was a rain delay) road course race (not a "Dale" track), I'm convinced my AMP shirt is working.  He finished 15th (although I believe he was robbed a position or two--he fought for those points, but to no avail. Kinda boo on you, NASCAR) and moved up a spot in points.  Anyway, this weekend is definitely a "Dale" track, so here's hoping my shirt is in extra fine form.

Reckon that's it for this Friday. I hope y'all have a wonderful weekend!!!

  5. Eva: LOL--well, minus the blue...and the hat...and lack of attire...but, yeah, pretty much on point, especially during games/races that come down to the wire.

    Jay: You must know my mama, then? ;) Oh, I do love NASCAR! :)

    Julianna: LOL--I'll bet his look priceless! Oh! Oh! He could be your unofficial "something blue!" :)

    chocolateangel: LOL--I have no idea. I thought they were little shorts and arm bands or something, but seeing that he's "panicky," they could very well be protective gear. lol

  7. Panicky is what I've been since the beginning of the BC Lion's CFL season started. Tonight they won 36-1 so I'm less panicky. Your little Panicky is cute!

  11. J.Day: :) He really is!

    Carole: LOL--yep, sports brings out the Panicky-mode!

    Hazel: :) Thank you.

    Alessandra: From the revving engines to the fire suits to watching the drivers control these nearly uncontrollable cars...I just love it. :)

    GB: lol-Apart from sometimes wearing the same expression, I would definitely have more in common with Smurfette. Smurfette, Papa Smurf, and Brainy Smurf were always my favorites growing up. :)

    That 20 Something Virgin: :) There's nothing wrong with getting yourself a Happy Meal from time to time--it certainly made the day a little brighter. :)
