TAG!! You're it!

So Kimberly photo tagged me.  http://reedingrainbow.blogspot.com/  I'm not really sure if I'm going to do this correctly or not...but I'll give it a shot.


The above photo is of non other than 2006 MotoGP WORLD CHAMPION Nicky Hayden.

It was taken two days before the MotoGP race held at Indianapolis Motor Speedway in September of last year.  We had just arrived at the track after driving all morning from Nashville.  Some of the riders were doing a little 'Meet 'n Greet' and Nicky was one of the last ones to get up on stage.  Look closely and you'll notice a crutch.  Nicky had hurt his foot competing in the Super Moto races at X-Games a few weeks prior and still couldn't put much weight on the broken foot.  Despite the injury, young Nicky Hayden did race at Indy that weekend and actually finished on the podium.  Due to the remnants from a hurricane that was sweeping across Indiana the race was held in some of the most treacherous conditions the riders had ever raced in.  It was truly a sight to behold.

Am I in a circus, or what?

It's 9:00pm and I'm reflecting on the day. I'm super tired, but I can't go to bed yet on account of Milla's last feeding for the day (scheduled around 10:00pm or so). I can't help but laugh now that I look back on the events of the day, but I was ready to grab the keys and my purse around 4:00pm. Forget any luggage, I'd just charge everything I need or want when I hit my destination-- wherever that was going to be (probably the first of the Florida Keys for some Key Lime Pie). Did I mention I was going to go alone? Maybe I'd take Milla. . . Let me set the scene for you. . .It's 4:00pm, I've been watching the neighbor's two kids since 11:00am. Yes that's a total of 5 kids-- did I mention I have a one month old? Being the thoughtful wife that I am I decided to make chocolate banana bread so Ty could enjoy a nice warm treat. It's Milla's feeding time and Ty has decided to go down for a nap, so I'm trying to keep all the

Age and Experience

They say the two go hand in hand...age and experience, that is. And I suppose they, whoever 'they' are, are right for the most part. Only for me, it seems I'm getting older with out the experience part. I still feel as unfit for whatever task is at had as I did 10 years ago. Anyway, back on Monday, I turned the ripe old age of 33. I've found the mid thirties to be weird age. I'm young enough to not feel old and old enough to not feel young. And I act 18 most of the time! Angela baked my favorite chocolate cake for me. I don't know what it is called, and it takes a butt-load of time to make. But the end result is a rich, moist, delicious chocolate cake with a surprise creamy filling in the middle. Its like eating a Ding-Dong only without the preservatives and it tastes better and you get more than two measley bites from a piece (is it just me or are Ding Dongs and Twinkies getting smaller?). We drove over to Stark-vegas for dinner with Chelsey (Jared
