Talladega

Last night Goof was in several long calls about end of month closing. After all that, he tells me that he was offered Talladega tickets. He declined them. What? He thought I would not be interested in the race. All the drunk rednecks. Of course I reminded him, it's like the tickets we used to get for the Raiders. Luxury box, baby. The tickets would be amidst drunk southerners. There is a difference between rednecks and southerners. He was given tickets to Infineon speedway a few years ago and we didn't go. Well, I had wanted to go, but he only had two and was going to take Stinky, but Stinky wasn't interested. Well, gee, father and son time is important, so I didn't make a fuss.

I'm waiting later and later to walk. Fall is here and I'm cold! Yea, yea, it's not that cold yet, but I don't like it. The dogs don't mind. I've been trying to prepare. I made a flannel jammie for Lulu, which didn't work out too well because the flannel doesn't have enough stretch. I have to rework the pattern for that. Yesterday I tried again with a different type of fabric. This one is a knit material with a raised stitch pattern. I learned that the medium pattern size does fit Mingy, and not Lulu. The material does not flatter Mingy. The next jammie will be out of this sweatshirt material I had picked up. It's fuzzy on one side, and I bet with time, the other side will be too. I hope it's got enough stretch. It should keep the doggies warm.

In 3 weeks, the IG national will be here. I'm excited about it. I am planning on going everyday if I can. Sorry, family, mom is excited and wants to see the show. Luckily it's close enough to home. I didn't enter in anything. Obviously I can't. Lulu's fixed, and I don't know anything about showing so Mingy just gets to watch. I don't know enough about coursing, also I would have to preregister the dogs. Who knows if they would even enjoy it, or want to race. I can just see it. Lulu and Mingy at one end in the box. Lulu bounding out of the box towards me in her characteristic bunny hop. Mingy confused running full out at me, and tumbling into a hole. Heart attack waiting to happen.

Halloween is coming. The holidays will be here. I am trying to decide if I want to decorate the exterior of the house. Goof thinks it will be good. I just wonder why. We don't care about the neighbors. It's not like they are gonna come over. We don't get a lot of trick or treaters either. It's just for us. I want to stuff the spider and stick that on the lawn. Hmm, fill that with newspaper and leaves. I also need to find the window covers. Something we saw last year and I want to get this year if I can find it, is a flicker light. Put that in front of the window and that will be pretty neat.

My goal this holiday season is to find each holiday's decorations and box them up separately. Goof kinda threw them in the boxes and now we are in a jumble downstairs. I need a new label maker. My $10 label maker just died. Well so it goes. Gotta get a huge label to cover the old ones off the totes.
