Hot Laps by Marlboro ... check out all the details and the pictures under my Hot Laps link.

All I can say was I am super glad I had the chance to check it out. I always like to try new things and this was no different !

Today was the day... my husbands family had their yearly family reunion. I missed last year because I had to work and I really didn't want to go anyway. Things of this nature make me nervous just because its his family and I don't want to say or do anything to embarse him.

So we get ready to go... pack baithing suits, extra clothes for all the kids, make a covered dish and we are on our way.... out to the middle of no where. For those that know me you all think I live out in the middle of no where.. you should see this place! ! It takes us about an hour to get there up a hill and down a hill and up a hill and down a hill..we are riding through some very beautiful country side. Its so quiet all you hear out there is the occaisional bir or woodpecker pecking on a tree, and just a bit of a breeze.Oh and don't let me forget the extremely loud music that blairs from the car radio. Beautiful full green trees in the woods with the occaisional overlook of a clearing of fields from time to time....

Last night I went wtih my Cousin, Alicia, for just a little bit. I need to get out of the house and apparently she was headed out her self. She proceded to tell me about it being her friend Eric's 21st Birthday. So sure why not go for a bit it should be entertaining.

We get there around 10pm and Eric isn't there just yet. I'd been a while since I'd seen him but I was looking forward to picking on him only because I knew he'd want to get really drunk. Now one thing about Eric is that he is a real skinny guy maybe 6' tall. Longer shaggy hair.. not to his butt long but sure not above his ears either. Eric also wears glasses and can't see or can hardly see out of his left eye. Its mostly closed kinda like he is winking. So he hasn't changed since I'd seen him last and its been at least a year.

The bars here are no longer smokey because its now illegal to smoke in a building, be it a restraunt, a bar or what have you. I gess you can smoke in designated rooms where they poker machines are but thats...

As of late I have taken on a new outlook on things, and I do mean everything ! I have decided that no matter what I will smile and not let life get me down even when it seems to be at its worst. Maybe if I am able to keep and maintian my horriably positiave attitued then it will rub off on to others that I know.. and if it doesnt then so be it. I can' t control them or the way they feel but I can control the way I feel and my attitude.

So as silly as it sounds.. just think happy thoughts as soon as something upsets me, or gets me down. And I think to my self .. its ok no big deal.. then I recall something funny that has occured in my life and smile.

I don't know if it has to do with my job at the toy store or where the energy is coming from but I really seem to be getting some of my "personality" back. I feel that over the past years that I have lost touch with who I really am and what I want out of life....
