LadyBug Siteing

On Friday, April 25th I got into my car from a long hard day at work and what do my wondering eyes see - a beautiful ladybug on the inside of my passenger window. It stayed there walked around on the window the entire time while I drove to pick up Molly. When I opened the door, I tried to catch it but she got away.

Since we believe LadyBugs bring good luck and have significant meaning, I wanted to remember this date. Who knows maybe Maggie Moo was born on this day. We will find out sometime next year. I just wanted to write it down so we can remember it.

NASCAR

Well, the Gilmartin family went on a very boyish adventure this weekend to Dallas so Daddy could go to a NASCAR race at Texas Motor Speedway. Needless to say, Molly and I won't be looking forward to another NASCAR adventure anytime soon.

Our seats were on the 3rd row from the track and I have never and I mean never heard something so loud in my entire life. Molly and I both had ear plugs and head phones and it was still bloody loud. The other problem with NASCAR is you cannot talk to the person or people you are with. You can not hear a damn thing so you sit in your seat while cars travel mindlessly at 180 miles per hour around the track. For the life of me, I do not see how anyone can get into this sport. What did make Molly and I happy was that Daddy enjoyed himself. Molly was such a trooper. She tried very hard not to complain but finally after 3 hours, she could not hold it in any longer. Therefore, we left about an hour before the race was over and drove back to Tulsa. We had a great time together as a family and spent some time with Toni and Philly and really enjoyed that evening as well.

Here's to another NASCAR race being very far in our future.
