Happy New Year!!

JAX bound in the morning! I absolutely cannot WAIT to see all of my best friends! And who would have guessed that I would have seen Mississippi friends in B'ham this week?! I guess they're all flying out of here to go to the Gator Bowl! Happy New Year, hope you all have a great one!

Production at its Finest

Hi ho, hi ho, it's back to work I go.

 I hope that you all had a wonderful Christmas, if only the holidays could last a little longer! 

And what about that white Christmas? If only the snow had actually stuck!!

It was great none-the-less.  By the inches of snow on everyone's cars in Birmingham, they got way more than MS did! As a matter of fact, there is still snow on the ground here. It would snow inches in AL while I'm in MS! It seems as if that's been a common occurrence this winter, it snowed here while I was in Dallas also!

Where has the year gone? 

I absolutely cannot believe that its almost over! My January is almost completely booked! I'll be spending one weekend in Jacksonville, and another in NYC.  And the best news? My lease runs up in 35 days!! I mean, not that I'm counting or anything! I'm just as excited as a child at Christmas.  As a matter of fact, I'm so excited that I think I could make a paper chain..you know, the ones you made as a kid counting down to Christmas? or summer? That. excited.

So, I'm making the most of the last week in December and looking forward to all that 2011 has to bring!

As for this week:

  Production, production, production.

I got into town late last night so today I went to work, cleaned house, ran errands, and have some work to do tonight.

Tuesday-Taking Christmas tree down.  I've heard that it's bad luck to leave a tree up after New Year's, so as bad as I don't want to take it down-I'm going to (told you I was a tiny bit superstitious!).

Wednesday-Meeting family in Tuscaloosa for dinner

Thursday-Getting ready for Jacksonville

Friday-Working and then going to the Dawg Pound Party

Saturday-Gator Bowl!!

Friends, this is what I like to call "organized chaos" at best!

Here's to hoping that you all have a wonderful week!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!!

Bah. Humbug.

Am I the only person that feels as if this week has just drug on? I don't know just how much more I can take!

I love Christmas, I really do. I love the lights, the decorations, the music, cold weather, Christmas movies..everything about it. I was the girl who put her tree up in October..remember?

But for the first time in a long time, I'm really ready for it to be over.

We've been swamped at work lately, and it seems as if every Grinch in the state of AL has been to visit over the past few weeks...this week being the worst of course, and it takes everything in me not to want to be rude right back.  

Now I'm not just talking a little Grinch like..I'm talking A LOT Grinch like. As in, I get home and never want to go back Grinch-like.  

Today, I had a particular customer that was so rude and caused such a scene that not only was corporate security called but 8 police officers arrived on the scene also.

Over a phone. An I phone to be exact. I mean, really?  He had one, but couldn't find his second. So he decided to throw a FIT in the middle of the office. Classy I tell you, pure class.

Here's to hoping I make it one more day at work!

I work a half a day on Friday and off to Mississippi for the holidays! Home sweet home!

Just talked to my best friend on the phone tonight, absolutely cannot WAIT to be back and see her!! And as for my sweet grandmother, we're hoping she'll be home for Christmas! Maybe even a white Christmas at that?

There is a slight chance of snow flurries Saturday for those of you who haven't heard :)

Here's to hoping your week has been better than mine!

I'm afraid it's official..

our furry friend is back; although I wouldn't exactly call him a friend,

more like a rat.

We're really hoping that he's outside this time! He's been enjoying our trash around here lately...let's just hope he doesn't decide to venture back into our house!

Busy weekend.  

Friday night I got into Meridian late.

Some friends that I graduated with have a Christmas party at their river house each year in the Demopolis area so I went to it Saturday night and came back to Meridian early this morning.

My dad's annual store Christmas party was tonight at our house, and surprise surprise...

guess who was the host?

Yep, you guessed it..the one and only!  Who knew I could pull off hosting a Christmas party 2 1/2 hrs. away from my house?

Let's just say it was a tiny bit unexpected.

My mom got a call around 1 this afternoon that my grandmother wasn't doing well and they ended up admitting her into the hospital.  Long story short her "I'll be right back" turned into an all day affair..she never made it back! So here my dad and I were, left alone to host the party.

Let's not lie, my dad was kind of a nervous wreck. Poor thing, he thinks that washing the windows and blowing the leaves in the yard is very good preparation.  Indeed it is, but that doesn't really help w/the cleaning of the actual inside of the house! Typical man (no offense to any of you out there!).

Have you ever hosted a Christmas party?

I just thought that I had!  I would always host a Christmas party/ornament swap with my friends each year..a little Christmas cheer, a few cute platters, and a little food later...voila! Christmas party success...but not so easy this time!

I quickly learned that my mom has entirely too much Christmas china..I will admit that I was a tiny bit overwhelmed. And I can't remember the last time I had to set an actual dining table! A big thanks to our sweet neighbor, Melissa, who catered the party. I couldn't imagine if I had actually had to cook...there's no way that we could have pulled that one off! Long story short, after loads of dishes and lots of cleaning later..the party was a success! Here's to hoping my sweet 87 year old grandmother recovers before the Christmas holidays!

Christmas cards were mailed out on Tuesday, if you sent me your address and haven't received yours let me know and I'll re-send them! I was really afraid that the fancy font I used was going to be hard for the postman to interpret! Here's to hoping you all received them!

I hope that you all had a wonderful weekend!

With love,

I feel as if the majority of my life is currently being spent in traffic.

And traffic just seems to be a real live version of Mario Kart.

It just took me one hour to get home,

Bah Humbug.

As much as I really do love the holidays,

I'm ready for life to calm down..just a little.

In other news,

I just got a steal on Christmas gifts, thanks to The Lodge.

And the best part? 

I don't have to pick them up!! I have a good sister to do that :)

Little does she know...she's just picking up her own present.

Easy enough.

Thank goodness it's almost the weekend!

Put it on the Blog, Yo!

I don't even know where to begin!

I wish that I could put into words just how busy things have been around here lately.

I'll catch you all up to date..let's back up one week:

The end of last week I was a little under the weather...okay so I more or less just felt like death.

Had an Income Tax Return project due last Monday.

Flew to Dallas Wednesday night. 

Had a ridiculously fun week.

Flew back in late last night,

and rode the struggle bus to work this morning.

Just got out of an Income Tax final.

About to address Christmas cards,

while studying for an Intermediate Accounting final tomorrow night.

Being a rockstar at work lately,

exceeded quarterly quota one month early...woo hoo!

Life has been hectic to say the least!

Back to Dallas..

I flew in last Wednesday to see a few friends and had an absolute blast.  Needless to say, I did not want to come home. Had a ridiculously good time; met lots of new fun friends and had so much fun spending time w/ old friends.  Wednesday night we went out in Dallas, Thursday consisted of happy hour, sushi and wine night.  Friday, my friends and I went to a brewery for lunch, shopped, went to dinner and then out in Uptown. And Saturday we saw Pat Green in Ft. Worth with Whitney, Erica, Stephen, and Sara!! What a fun city it was! That was my first time to go to the Stockyards and I would love to go back! If you've never been, it's definitely worth the trip..especially at Christmas!

And of course it was great seeing you Whitney!! I'm going to try and make it back in February :) You never know..I might even be back before then!!

As for Sunday, I met up with a special friend for the afternoon and he took me to the airport. I'm pretty sure that I could dedicate a whole post of its own to this friend. I would like to say that we have a very special relationship and a special relationship I hope it will always be.  I cherish every moment that I get to spend with this friend; so glad we got together! 

So home again, home again..jiggity jig. 

I met some really nice people on the flight home last night, and one of them just happened to be interviewing with my company today! What a small world!

But the best part...it was SNOWING when I arrived back in B'ham last night! It stopped about midway through the day today with highs being in the 20's!! What an amazing ending to an absolutely amazing weekend!! Hated to see it end.

On another note,

still needing addresses..Riles that would be you :) 

Please send my way!! 

 Big Al

 The Stockyards

 Whitney and Erica

Until next time,

Home Again, Home Again..

Just in from Dallas and it's SNOWING in Birmingham!! If you couldn't tell, I'm just a little excited about it!! Absolutely AMAZING weekend and I absolutely HATED to come back! Pretty sure I could have shed a few tears upon arriving back to B'ham-oh wait, I did..that much fun! Many, many updates to come!

Eekkss...

7 tickets to Peach Bowl..check 

5 tickets to Gaytor Bowl...check

5 tickets to Music City Bowl...check

And anxiously awaiting 7:15.

If the Chick-fil-a Bowl doesn't pick Mississippi State, I will never eat there on Sunday again.

Do you remember this time about a year ago? For all of you long-time blog followers, do you remember the background to the Humana job that I didn't take last year in Birmingham?

Well guess what..

Approximately one year, three months later,

I'm still dealing with this ridiculous company.

I do not work for them, nor have I ever worked for them.

But apparently they think that I do work for them.  They send me all employee e-mail, mailings, etc. etc. and I've called numerous (and I do mean numerous) times to get them to take my name off of this list.  It hasn't worked yet; I've even resorted to calling the AL Department of Insurance b/c the company still has me appointed to sell their product within the state of AL.

Long story short..

I get a phone call tonight that the company sent me a $170 commission check (for things I didn't sell) b/c they're going to a new payroll system.  

Not so bad considering I've never worked for them a day in my life, and after all the trouble that they've caused I think it's well deserved on my part haha. 

Now if only my ethics didn't think differently..
What to do, what to do?

Christmas Cards

Guess who just saved $105 dollars today??

You guessed it!! Thanks to Shutterfly for my 50 free Christmas cards!! They turned out super cute, I absolutely cannot wait to see them!! 

I've become quite the savvy internet shopper here lately.

I absolutely hate getting e-mails about sales but recently I've signed up for one or two and let me tell you...some of these deals are steals! It's totally worth that extra junk mail that you have to delete!!

Send me your address if you would like to be added to the list!

Updates and Such

I''m pretty sure that I could win an award for procrastination.

I've been putting off an Income Tax Return project for oh about 3 weeks now, and what am I sitting at home doing you ask?

Trying to put together Christmas cards..priorities people!

I love Christmas cards, I love getting them and receiving them, but only the photo Christmas cards that is.

Considering my little family consists of Sophie and I, well..I don't really care to send out just a photo of myself (I mean, how awkward?)! You see, my favorite card has 3 photo slots and that can't be changed.  So, I'm trying to decide..lots of photos w/friends and Soph w/a different card layout, or my favorite layout w/ 3 photos of Sophie?

I swore I would never be the crazy Christmas card lady that sends photos of her dog...never say never :)

Onto another subject...

I wish that I could count the number of calls and statuses that I have seen concerning the weather in Mississippi.  Have I ever mentioned just how terrified I am of bad weather?!  It's in the 40's here and we're supposedly expecting tornadoes?! How wild is this!!  I mean, I guess I did go swimming Thanksgiving day!

Apparently, it's pretty rough, power is out and all.  

Here's to hoping we make it through the night!

Egg Bowl

Cowbells ring, are you listening??
Down the field, the Dawgs are sprinting!!
A beautiful site, the Teddy Bears crying tonight!!
Walking with the trophy in our hands!!

What a great day to be a Bulldawg!!

31-23.

Ordered bowl game tickets..check!!

Atlanta here we come!!

Happy Turkey Day!

Happy Turkey Day to all....

And to all a good night!!

If I were Upon the Sea..

A cruise ship captain I would be..

or at least that's what I've felt like here lately!

My car had to be serviced so while it is in Meridian, I'm driving another vehicle for the time being...and boy oh boy, I'm ready to get mine back!! I've felt as if I'm directing a cruise ship this other one is so big and so...different! I mean at least I have one to drive, right?! 

I'm beginning to feel as if rush hour traffic here is just a real life version of Mario Kart..

The Arkansas Vons arrived in Meridian for Turkey Day and I think I can smell my Rockin' Aunt Jill's dressing one hundred miles away!! Oh what I would give to be in Mississippi with my extended family, my sweet Sophie, and my car!! Eighteen hours and counting..

Houston, we have a problem..

Solution to this....

is this!

Yes, I just got back from the store,

Yes this is my second box of dryer sheets to purchase this winter,

 And yes, it's only November!! 

Please tell me that you have just as much static in your hair as I do mine!!

Every Dawg has its Day

So we didn't win, but we're still ranked..and that's all that matters!

Ordering bowl game tickets..check!

Unfortunately, no Cotton Bowl...but I guess New Years in Atlanta isn't looking too bad!

What a busy week it was..

Last week I stopped by Dawson to see old friends, it was so good to see everyone!! What a blessing they have been/and still continue to be in my life!! I had dinner with my co-workers one night, and dinner w/Laura another. It was so good getting to catch up! Trying to enjoy the last little bit of the year..where has it gone?!

Income Tax test tomorrow, Thanksgiving Wednesday night, Income Tax Project, a trip to Dallas, and final exams..don't know how much more I can fit in :)

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend..now if only to make it through Wednesday!!

Happy Early Turkey Day friends!

Christmas Cards

As many of you have probably already heard, Shutterfly is giving away 50 free Christmas cards to bloggers this year! If you haven't looked at them yet, they're absolutely adorable-take a look at these! This one, of course, being my favorite!! There are so many to choose from, and they are all so cute!! You should definitely go check them out!
I absolutely love getting and sending Christmas cards...even if it is just Sophie and I :)

I've already started getting my address list together, send me yours if you would like to be added!
I just cannot believe that it's time to start talking Christmas cards again...where has the year gone?!
Absolutely cannot wait to see the finished product!
In previous years past I have been known to give holiday calendars as Christmas presents; I sometimes think that they're a little more personal than just an everyday gift.  Check Shutterfly's calendars out here!

My Life in Pictures

Part 2

So you hear about my immediate family all the time, but I've got some pretty cool extended family also.

Meet the Mayers:

My grandfather, Harry Sr., came over to the United States at the age of 15 by

boat from Germany during the Hitler years. He and his brother, Max, were the only two from his immediate family that made it over. From what I understand, only few were allowed on the boat and my great-grandmother sent them over to escape the concentration camps.

They reunited here in the States, my grandfather living in Mississippi and my Uncle

Max residing in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. My grandfather came into the U.S. not knowing a word of English and the Loeb family in Meridian at the time were his sponsors who so kindly took him into their home. The remainder of the Mayer family that stayed in Germany were all sent to Auschwitz, and never made it out. My grandfather eventually got married and started a clothing business where my dad continues the tradition today. Unfortunately, I never had the pleasure of meeting either of my grandparents considering they passed away years before I was born. My dad is a Junior, and I would have been a III (seeing as if I had been a boy). The extended Mayer family still resides in Philadelphia where we try and visit every few years.

Meet the Von Edwins:

I was very blessed to have grown up being so close to my mom's parents. My mom has two brothers, one in which resides in Arkansas, and the other in Florida. I have always been very close to my mom's side of the family and absolutely love seeing and spending time with them

.Here are the Arkansas Vons:

And here is one of three Florida Von cousins:

I wish that I could put into words JUST how fun these cousins are!! Absolutely cannot wait until Turkey Day :)

Blog Challenge: Day 4 and 5

So I'm cheating, because I'm ready to get this painful survey over with.

And I'm sure you are too.

So here goes,

Day 4: The Parents.

Day 5: Siblings.

I'll admit, these aren't the best photos that we've ever taken but it's all that I've got on my computer so they'll have to suffice.

I really do love my family.

I wouldn't exactly say that we're a "normal" family,

the older I get the more I realize that we've just got something special that not many other families have..

and that's the fact that we're extremely close.

As in, sometimes too close.

But hey, that's not always a bad thing, right?!

I will admit, my parents call me every day and if a day goes by in which we don't talk, that's normally a really big deal. And if you don't answer the phone the first time they call, they'll just call 5 more times to make sure that you got their original call.

But in all reality, I love them. They're crazy and they're fun, and I'm blessed to have the parents (and sister) that I do.

Now as for my sister, she is 20 going on 40 and her favorite pastime (although I'm the oldest) would be bossing me around.

We are absolutely complete opposites.

-I have short blonde hair, she has long dark brown hair

-I have big blue eyes, she has big brown eyes

-She's taller than me

-I'm wider than her

-I love chick flicks, she likes horror films

-I'm the socialite, she's the study bug

You get the picture..

Anything that I'm interested in, she's not. And we have our fair share of disagreements.

But all in all, I really do love her (even though some days are harder than others haha!). Not to mention that I really love to go shopping in her closet! She's so blunt and absolutely hilarious..and some days, I don't know what I would do without her!

Blog Challenge Day 2 (And 3)

Day 2: Meaning behind your blog name.

I wish that my current blog name was just a little bit more creative, but unfortunately it's just not. I've considered changing it to "Michelle from Mississippi," but just haven't gotten around to it lately. Since moving to Birmingham almost a year ago, my name quickly went from Michelle to "Mississippi." And that would be my reasoning in changing titles.

Even though I do just live a very short 2 1/2 hrs. away, it's amazing how different some things really are.

I mean, you've just got to see for yourself!

"To understand the world, you must first understand a place like Mississippi."
William Faulkner

Day 3: Your first love.

Okay, I'm really starting to hate this survey! Can I just skip this question, or maybe even just plead the fifth?

Can I just say my dad or my dog?

Those will just have to suffice!

Very Superstitious..

I really try and make conversation with other classmates (I mean, I do need some friends), but in Income Tax class it just doesn't always go quite as planned.

Exhibit A:

Get to class tonight, try and make conversation with student sitting beside me. Might I add that this is the same girl that so sweetly informed me 5 min. before our last exam that my blue Mississippi State scantrons were not acceptable..only green UAB scantrons are (implying that I automatically fail the exam). Employees at the Barnes and Noble at UAB have better hours than bankers, and they expect full-time employees to buy these so called green scantrons at what point during the day might I ask?! My point exactly. My blue scantrons traveled 2 1/2 hrs..what ever happened to an A for effort?! I will get off of my bookstore soapbox. Back to the story, I tried making conversation again tonight with this oh so sweet neighbor of mine (hence the sarcasm). We have an Income Tax Return project due at the end of the semester so I politely inquire if she has started on it yet. I should have known that Mrs. Overachiever had already done hers. We found out about this project two weeks ago, and we still have one whole month to work on this. Done? Already? And then the worst part, the man beside her had done his already also.

Okay folks, I barely have time to breathe and you've already done your project? So maybe I'm just a tiny bit jealous? I mean, I used to be that student..you know, on top of things and all. But I'll tell you a really good cure..a full-time job. I mean, I haven't even looked at my test score from two weeks ago..let alone started on this project. I've got a lot of work to do apparently.

And about this test..yes I took it two weeks ago, and no I have not viewed my score yet.

And yes, grades came out approximately 24 hrs. after the test. You see, there's something that I often times don't like to admit, much less believe in...but I'm a tiny bit superstitious.

I get it honest.

My dad swears he has a bad day if he doesn't first stop at the convenient store for a cup of coffee and a pack of gum. And if he has a bad day, he will never wear the tie he had on again. As if his coffee, gum, and tie make for a bad day?! Well, I kind of inherited a touch of it.

It has been a bad two weeks. So I won't look at my test grade until I have a good day.

You see, today was better..so maybe tomorrow will be best?!

Maybe I'll check it then.

Until then,

I'll leave you all killing over in anticipation..

A Few Weekend Recaps

For the first time in a long time, I stayed in B'ham this weekend.

And a quiet weekend it was.

An AT&T tower has been out in Ross Bridge all weekend so I've had zero cell service for approximately 72 hours. So if you try and call, be sure to leave a voicemail!

Friday night I met up with a few friends,

and as for Saturday..

I worked Saturday morning, went to the new outlet malls, cleaned, did laundry, went grocery shopping, put up my Christmas tree, made dinner, and...

I hung some blinds.

Now I must admit that I'm no handyman. But at about 2:30 a.m. Thursday morning, someone came banging on our door so to say that it scared me is an understatement. You see, we have blinds to go on our door but they only cover half of the window, so anyone can look in and see everything that my roommate and I are doing. So, after searching high and low for a blind to cover the full length of the window, I finally settled for a set of blinds wider than the window but long enough to cover everything.

And so the drilling begins. Three hours and five unnecessary holes in the door later, the blinds are hung. Now only if they would stay up when the door opens and closes.. at least they serve their purpose, right?!

So tonight I took a little break.

I cooked dinner and am currently snuggled up on the couch watching Christmas movies, drinking hot chocolate, and burning the latest addition to my candle collection..

Now I'm just waiting on the new BCS Rankings to come out, and my weekend will be complete! Whoever thought we would one day be excited to hear what we're ranked?!

Hail State!!

Blog Challenge: Day 1

Day 1: Introduce yourself, include a recent picture, and tell 15 facts about yourself.

This was the most recent picture that I had. Don't judge.

I'll be the first to admit that this isn't my most favorite thing to do. But here goes:

My name is Michelle, and I go by my middle name..it has caused for much confusion over the years and I think that I will respond to just about anything. I graduated from the Mississippi State University and am a very proud supporter of the Bulldogs.

-My favorite color is pink and I like all things Christmas. No worries, I've spent the past few nights putting up Christmas decor. There's nothing like getting into the Christmas spirit a few months early!

-I'm pretty sure that snow will never cease to amaze me, considering that I grew up in the south. I'm like a little kid at Christmas on the (rare) occasion that we ever do see any!

-I'm always on the go, I love to travel and wish that my job included more of it.

-I have the most amazing friends and family in the world. But I must admit...

my family tree is full of nuts! I love my family, they're crazy and we always have the best time together. We could easily have our own reality television show and I'm convinced that one week at the Mayer house is just like another week at the circus. My dad, of course, being the ring leader.

-I have the most precious Pomeranian puppy Sophie. She is most definitely the love of my life, she has an outfit for every holiday. She's very prissy and super spoiled..I kind of love it. She definitely runs this house.

-I never knew just how much I loved Mississippi State until I graduated. I absolutely loved college and everything about it. I miss it more and more with each passing day, and would do just about anything to go back.

-I hate that my friends and I don't live in the same city anymore. My friends are my life..as if you couldn't tell! I miss them all so much!

-I've always wanted to be a retail territory(wholesale) rep or a pharmaceutical sales rep. I hate working with the general public on a daily basis. I've met more stupid (literally) people within the state of Alabama than I ever care to meet in my life. I didn't know there was a difference between general public and "the" public..until now. But there is a difference, big difference.

-I tend to fly by the seat of my pants in all that I do, and I'm really spontaneous but I secretly love everything about a schedule. And I'm very anal when my schedule doesn't go as planned. Very.

-I have very little patience. I think I appear to have a lot (or so I'm told). But truth be told I don't have much.

-I'm learning what's most important in life. Friends and family come before all else.

-The longer I work, the more I'm convinced that I would make an excellent housewife...know of anyone taking applications?!

-If you made it to the end of this post, you deserve a medal!

Life just keeps laughing..

Life: 1.

Michelle: None.

Mondays are relentless.

A hell of a whole lot has been going on lately.

And so I cave..

Have you ever heard the saying,

"An apple a day.."

Well, I'd do just about anything to keep the dentist away.

I've never had any dental work done before but I hear that it's pretty awful..

until now that is.

In August, I found out that I'm not only going to have to have one dental procedure done but rather a series of two or three oral surgeries in which would be drawn out over the period of about a year.

So for the past two months of my life I've spent every holiday/day off at my (what seems to be newest home)..the dentist office. I have gone from having just one dentist to a series of four dentist w/in a two month time period and I'll be spending my half day off tomorrow meeting with yet again...dentist number 4.

I'm supposed to be having a bone graft on my jaw next Wednesday, and I call at lunch today only to find out that dentist number 2 put the surgery on hold until further notice...in which I was unaware of.

After planning around a dentist and an oral surgeon's schedules, my employers schedule, my class schedule, my personal schedule and already taking days off next week, to say I was a little upset to hear that is an understatement.

I already hate going to the dentist and I'm afraid that this love I have for him is only going to get worst before getting better. I'm just ready to get it all over with, and I surely hope that a year from now I'll forget that this ever happened. I know that I need be thankful that it's nothing more than what it is, but I'm absolutely sick of my life revolving around my dentists. You see, the worst part of it all is I'll have to miss a week from work and I won't be able to eat "real food" for two weeks after (and this is only for procedure #1)...I just can't think of a worst punishment! With each appointment, the process just continues to get lengthier and more drawn out, and we're trying to divide having to take these days off between two calendar years (2010/2011). I know that I'm going to have a much prettier smile when it's all said and done, and I know the sooner it starts the sooner its over...but to having it "hanging over your head" per say is just not much fun.

So to say that I'm a little overwhelmed is quite an understatement. I have a test tomorrow, a tax return project due in December, two comprehensive final exams, work, and of course a bowl game mixed in with the holidays..as if that's not enough in and of itself. Each weekend in both November and January are already filled. And they think I've got time to re-schedule?

Until next time..

You Might be a Redneck if..

Your blog consists of posts like this:

Yep, it's that time of the year again.

Talladega, that is.

One of the few times out of each year in which every redneck within a 1,000 mile radius gathers in one city located in the middle of nowhere Alabama to watch cars race around in a circle to see who can finish first.

Living in the state of Alabama on race weekend:

Priceless.

Thank you Nascar fans for the pure entertainment that you provide to Alabama residents two times out of each year. Seeing you around town in your mullets and jorts with your campers in tow truly made my weekend that much better.
