I have been in another writing slump. I think that last time I posted something; Tony Stewart just announced that he was leaving Joe Gibbs Racing to join the newly formed Stewart-Haas racing.

My thoughts: I will follow that man to China if he raced there. It just doesn’t matter. I definitely now understand the fan loyalty deal with fans and their driver, more specifically Dale Earnhardt Jr. fans. I have caught the driver/fan loyalty bug. Not that I didn’t have it before, but I think I was just too broke to home my skills effectively.

As if I haven’t been out of touch with the NASCAR realm for the past week, I was at the salon getting my nails done and decided on an orange polish, for good luck for you-know-who, (you will come to know I am a very superstitious person.) Then after the fact, I realized there was no race this weekend for the Sprint Cup guys. I’ll be lucky enough to remember when races are on this year.  Too bad I cannot paint reminders on my nails. The thought was there at least and I can save the luck for next week for Stewart to get a win.

Almost two weeks ago, I adopted a second ferret. For those new to my site, I bought a grey/black/white ferret from the pet shop last March and named it Smoke, after my favorite driver of course, but it was fitting for the color of her fur anyway (I’ve convinced myself of this lie already!)

Well this second ferret I adopted from an animal shelter. She is white with red eyes, already a full grown ferret vs. Smoke who is still a baby. Her original name was Tattoo, but I’ve renamed her because I think the whole fun and joy of owning an animal is to name it yourself, just like you name your children. In the nerdy spirit of naming my animals after race car drivers, the white ferret is named Rowdy.

Fans, meet Smoke and Rowdy. Very cute! *squee*

Ok, you can call me a nerd now. The new girl at work probably thinks that after she saw my ferrets in a photo as my desktop and asked what their names were and I had to explain it.

I’m going on vacation next week…I wish it was to a race, but that will have to wait until next year. I am going to catch up on news articles and get back into the real world before I completely lose my mind. I’ve been losing everything else all week…digital camera, iPod, bank card, etc. and just wanted to add a short personal touch to the website before I get back to business.
