My old building. / My Camera Phone

Today has been one of those days, let me tell ya what. I woke up at 5:30 a.m. so that my mom and I could ride together to try and save gas money. Yeah, that didn’t work out too well. When I put her out, get out for a few, and then go to leave to head to school and work, my truck wouldn’t crank.

Finally, we got it cranked and I went to work where I had to answer telephone calls all day from mothers who are trying to get their daughters into a sorority. You never hear from fathers, it’s always mothers and daughters.

So I head to class and come back to the office and that to the right was in front of me.

They have finally began tearing down my building.

My building…. (more…)

You can say that I’m a little inspired to list a few things after watching Miley Cyrus’ new video for her new song, “7 Things”. You can view the video at the end of this post if you haven’t seen it yet but…. this goes out to one person who I know reads my blog….

1. What is your favorite thing to do alone? I think it’s singing or just browsing online at stuff like the kitteh pictures. I also like to write when I’m alone. I can’t concentrate to write when someone is around me.

2. What is your favorite thing to do with your best friend? Well, I don’t really have a best friend right now but it was going shopping and laugh at stupid shit or see if we could find something relating to NASCAR or Backstreet Boys. I usually always did that with my best friends for some reason.

3. What is your favorite band? Of all time? Probably Backstreet Boys, although lately I’ve been listening to a lot of rock stuff so I would say Poison and Motley Crue too. I love Bon Jovi also.

4. What is your favorite song? Of all time? “Always on my Mind” by Elvis Presley. I don’t like the Willie Nelson version, even though he wrote the song. My other favorite songs are “And Still” by Reba McEntire, “Shameless” by Garth Brooks, “Love You Back” by Rhett Akins, and “Heaven” by Warrant. (more…)

I admit, lately I’ve been sort of blah. The past two and a half months have been busy, slammed packed and just downright annoying at times. I’ve dealt with finishing up an internship, having surgery, packing up three offices that have been in a building for 60+ years and moving them to a new one, starting a new job, and taking math - my worst subject.

So… I’m going to give myself a makeover tomorrow!

While I don’t have the money to go off and buy a new wardrobe, I do have clothes that I’ve barely warn. I’ll buy clothes and half-ass wear them because I get stuck on wearing, for example, Tony Stewart’s 2007 Race to the Chase t-shirt that is practically fading, or a pink VSU t-shirt.

While I’ve gotten my teeth all sparkly, new and shiny and my hair cut in a cute retro way, I’m dying it tomorrow. I’m doing something different with it that I haven’t done in a while. I’m moving away from the brunette and into the redhead stage… a’la Ashlee Simpson. No, I’m not pregnant and not planning on marrying some emo kid from Chicago, but I do have natural red highlights in my hair and I’m going that shade of red that I’ve never been before.

I might post pics privately of my makeover… maybe, just maybe.

Margaret (rivensky), one of the hillarious owners of LOLDrivers, and a Pretty Boy Jamie McMurray lover, sent this to me for my birthday. Thanks to everybody for all the wishes and a few goodies I got from people (I love you, Tara! Even if I am a bitch sometimes lol).

My birthday has been a normal day so far. I slept until 11:30 a.m. Woke up to about 15 emails with birthday wishes (even from Mr. Dierks Bentley - you know he loves him some Karah). I think I’m getting a bladder infection which hasn’t bugged me in a year and a half, so I’m due I supposed. Just hope it doesn’t lead to my gallbladder. It seems like everybody I know is getting them out lately, so many young people, it’s weird.

One thing that I finally did today is open up Track Bunny Magazine! It’s just an online magazine for female race fans and I’m looking for people to write, whether it’s news, or columns. (more…)

This is probably going to end up being the worst second birthday ever… besides in 2001 when one of my favorite musicians went to rehab. This birthday… my favorite driver is leaving his team. Not just any team, but a team that I have grown to love, admire, and dammit, I can get there without a map!

Plus, I got my birthday cake like four days too early… oh well, who cares, right?

I’m taking the day off tomorrow and will do what I love to do… sit and be lazy, watch racing, write articles, and work on the newspaper website probably. That’s how I’m going to spend my last day as a 27-year-old track bunny.

I’m still not sure how I feel about the Tony situation… More on that tomorrow.

I do know what will make me feel better… if a certain someone were to win Saturday night… THAT would be the best birthday present ever this year… or the only one, but that’s beside the point.

I need you baby lookin’ just like that… I don’t care what people say, but I love Jessica Simpson’s new venture into country music. I have always been a fan of hers and I’ve had “Come on Over” on repeat for the last two weeks now.

Well, unlike most people I know, I did nothing this weekend. I didn’t celebrate sqwat. I didn’t have a barbaque. I didn’t go swimming. I didn’t do anything. I’m not really a person that likes to celebrate things like that. I guess that’s why when my birthday rolls around on Saturday, it will be just another ordinary day.  I don’t really think celebrating things like the 4th of July is a big deal. That stuff happened how many years ago? We’re free. Woohoo. *twirls finger* But guess what? I was born 28 years ago and I’m here now. Celebrate me. Celebrate others birthdays. They’re still here. Like I said, it’ll be just another ordinary day. The friends I do have are away at home for the summer or moved because they got jobs and the ones I’ve ran away, well it’s just another day for them too. (more…)

I’m sitting here at work and it’s almost 1 p.m. I’m tired and can’t stop yawning which makes no sense considering I went to bed hella early last night. I have class at 2:20 p.m. and then I think I’m heading home for the remainder of the day. I need to get some online work done. (more…)
