When does the train leave from the station?  Someone please tell me so that I can get on the damn thing.  I just want to escape…well not really escape I just want to leave and never come back.  Today is NOT…I repeat NOT a good day and it’s still early.  I am hoping things will get better for me.

I will do what I ususally do when I am at the breaking point…listen to lots and lots of music.  This seems to calm the frayed nerves and lately they have been quite frayed and raw.  I feel as if I am in this giantic ocean on a little tiny raft, the sharks are circling and there is no land in sight.  But like I always do I somehow paddling through the abyss with my trusty ipod. 

I would like to say a belated congrautlations to a wonderufl friend of mine who I consider more of a brother (I am an only child).  He took that big plunge over Labor Day weekend and said “I do” to a wonderful person.  I can’t even begin to tell you what he has meant to my life and it killed me not to be there, but he knews why I couldn’t be there to share his moment in the sun.   I have always felt who ever snagged him would be getting one fo the most incredible person I know.  So I wish M&M much you thorughout their new life together.  Both Postman and I love you both.  So in honor of Mr. M. I give you our song….

Barlight (Charlie Robinson)

Well when I was young my momma read me
Nursery rhymes beside my bed.
And though they sounded mighty fine,
They made no sense to me.
But now that I am all grown up,
It seems my life has changed as such.
So I went out and made me up
A nursery Rhyme for me.

It goes bar light, bar bright.
First bar that I see tonight.
I wish I may I wish I might,
Find someone to hold me tight.
Hey diddle diddle, a man with a fiddle,
And the girls sing along with the tunes.
Just one more dance til you turn out the lights,
And you can shut down this saloon.

Well I never understood how a big old gal,
Could raise no kids in a shoe.
And any old Jack goes jumping a candle,
Needs to find something better to do.
And rub a dub dub, three men in a tub,
Sure sounds kind of funny to me.
So I made up a honky tonk nursery rhyme,
and it’s the only one I’ll sing.

It goes bar light, bar bright.
First bar that I see tonight.
I wish I may I wish I might,
Find someone to hold me tight.
Hey diddle diddle, a man with a fiddle,
And the girls sing along with the tunes.
Just one more dance til you turn out the lights,
And you can shut down this saloon.

I have been trying to get around the horn as they say to visit everyone’s site, but if I haven’t been in awhile don’t fret…I will there. Work has been SUPER CRAZY! My desk has stacks and stacks of folders on it waiting for processing. I work as an advisor at a major university in Texas and we are in the middle of certifying student athletes and we have the majority of them. It’s a very time consuming job requiring my full attention. But I am at a stopping point so I thought I would post something.

I am the type of person who likes to give than to receive and that is why I want to give a “woo hoo” to my fellow bloggers out there. Some of us are out there blogging because we love it and I would have to include myself in that group. I am not out to change the world or anything like that. I just do it because well…it’s fun! And the envelop please…

This award was given to one of my favorite bloggers Amy over at Amy’s Bad Groove. She is a fellow Tony Stewart and NASCAR fan. She has a great site and she is one of my top stops when I am surfing. So when you get a chance visit her site and tell her Trixie sent ya!

So here are the rules

1. Give this to people whose blogs mean something special to you-or give it to the blogs whose person mean soemthing special to you
2. Leave a comment on their blog so they know they got it
3. You get to pick the number of times you give it

I think I will give the award to the following blogs because they have some good stuff and they really do make my day….

1.  Ms. H (Molding Young Minds):  She inspires me as a friend on some many levels.  I have known Ms. H for awhile.  We both know each other’s secrets and well, let’s just say, we could never go into politics.  Plus she shares the same obsession as I do…and it’s not NASCAR…I know shocking, but she is a office supply junkie.  That’s why I will go broke supporting my NASCAR habit and the office supply  habit…Tony’s sponsor is Office Depot.

2.  Army of Mom:  I discovered her blog right after I created The Park.  I have been a lurker on her site for some time and I have even left comments.  She is a wonderful writer and has some interesting takes on things.  Plus she is a fellow NASCAR fan, Cowboys fan, loves her kids, 80s music, and most of all from Texas.  Like Amy’s Bad Groove and Molding Young Minds, a daily read…so zoom on over!

3.  Rev Jim (Rev’ Jim’s RantsnRaves):  This was a unanimous decision to give him this award.  He is a fellow blogger, NASCAR fan, and Tony Stewart fan.  He writes some great stuff about NASCAR, plus he is the one who inspired me to write more on NASCAR.  Plus he got me to join as one of the bloggers over at NASCAR Bloggers FT Digest even though I don’t post as often as I should.  So here’s to Rev Jim….

So if you stop by The Park, take a gander at these sites as well as other listed on The Park, I guarantee you won’t be disappointed.
