I went to the NASCAR race in Richmond, VA this past weekend and I thought I would post about it today.  I am not really a huge NASCAR fan.  My husband however, is.  I used to complain when he would watch it on T.V.  I am not a fan of any sports on T.V. – I would much rather be at the sporting event having a cocktail and eating hot dogs and peanuts!

Anyways, my husband made me pick a driver.  He said that once you pick a driver, it’s easier to like the sport.  So I did.  I picked Tony Stewart because I loved his attitude and how he did something every week that made you say “what the hell was he thinking?”  I don’t spend every weekend watching it, I just kind of poke my head in and yell “how’s Tony doing?”  My husband roots for Bobby Labonte, which is also fun because I get to joke him every week when Bobby wrecks, which he always does!

I have gone to several races now and I have to say, that they are pretty fun – loud, but fun.  My favorite part of the event is definitely the people watching.  I am not your typical NASCAR type, but man do they come out to party in the parking lots before the race.  Nadine and I had a really great time sitting in our lawn chairs, sipping cocktails and watching them this weekend, while trying to snap photos without them knowing.  Above are a couple pics from the race.  My husband and Nadine, a shot of the parking lot before the race and some of my fine, fine mullet men!!!

I love the Halloween season!!!

Aloha Friday is brought to you by the letter A and by Snarky!

ALOHA FRIDAY WILL BE BROUGHT TO YOU ON TUESDAY THIS WEEK.

Choose a unique item from your wallet and explain why you carry it around.
A bright pink laminated piece of paper with my husbands social security number on it!  I always need and never have it.  So I printed it on a hot pink piece of paper and laminated that sucker, so that I will always have it handy and not need to call him whenever I need it.

What are you wearing today that is most reflective of who you are?
Flip Flops!  I wear them EVERY DAY.  Around the house, to work, to the store, everywhere.  I even own Flip Flop socks so that I can wear them in the winter!  Here you go MommaK, I know you’ll be asking… http://www.flipflopsocks.net/

Play the Boo-Yay game. Tell us about a “boo” and a “yay” from the past week.
Boo - Ashton had a horrible ear infection (again) and turned into Hannibal Lector and bit three kids at school in ten minutes.
Yay - The tourists are all gone and the hot weather broke bringing a nice cool, oceany breeze to Virginia Beach.  It’s time for the locals to enjoy the beach!

The sign you see upon entering my neighborhood.
Old Beach
