CSNStores.com Product Review

Did you know that CSN Stores has over 200 online stores where you can find everything from a
platform bed to fantastic fitness equipment to cookware!

OK, OK let me start from the beginning......

On Monday, September 27th, I received an email from Jocelyn at csnstores.com Promotions Department about doing a giveaway or product review.

 She said she had visited my blog and liked the looks of it.  HOW COOL IS THAT!
I am so new to blogging, that I was like really? ME? you want me to do something with csnstores.com ???!!!!

So I sent back a reply telling her that I only had 7 followers, and probably wouldn't get much response, so I chose to do a product review.

She told me to go check out some of their sites and chose an item to review.

So I did.



 Well I picked out the Bayou Classic 4Qt. Dutchoven.

I guess you know what is important to me?..... FOOD!

The Hubby does alot of cooking on the grill and I thought this might be perfect for the veggies and one pot dishes.  So I asked him what he thought and he said "heck yeah get that"!

So now I wait for my new Bayou Classic 4Qt. Dutchoven to arrive.

Wedding Anniversary

Today is mine and Hubby's 11th wedding Anniversary.



So, I will put on my big girl panties and put all the negativity behind me, and enjoy OUR day.


We spent the morning at the Farmers Market and driving around down town. He said he wanted to buy me a charm for my bracelet, in remeberance of my cat Simon, and then we will go to a nice dinner.


Not sure where to go just yet, he wants steak and I feel like Italian, so hopefully WE can find a great Italian place that has a good steak!


{You know, when momma's happy...everybody's happy! haha...}


I hope everyone has a WONDERFUL day!

Disappointment and Shell Shock

Ok , so, I have been working since last October for the drag race that I promoted last weekend in San Antonio.  I don't know about you , but I pretty much put my heart and soul into everything I do, not to mention the effort I put in to treating people the way I want to be treated by them.

So, with great disappointment, I left the race track on Sunday night with a hole in my pocket and one in my heart.  Making a little bit of money sure would have been nice, but we know what to change for next time.

And I think we are all CRAZY enough to try this thing just one more time.

But the hole in my heart, well that's a tough one to handle.

It is 2010 right?

 I was the only female out of a 4 partner group.  I worked my ass off for this thing! And at some points felt like I was nothing.
 If I would have been a man and was spoken to the way I was at times, I would have put the other person on the ground! But as a woman defending herself  or expressing my opinion,  I was of course perceived as a bitch.  I felt used and abused by those who I thought were suppose to have my back.

{We truly do still live in a man's world, but without the POWER OF A WOMAN, it would fall apart. Can anyone please explain this to me?}

My SAVING GRACE were the racers, who I have been racing with all season, who came up to me and let me know that they appreciated what I had done and had tried to do.

Now, it is up to me, of course, to go onto the racing sanction's website to thank all of our sponsors and participants and to congratulate all of our winners.  I know without them we would have not had what we did. 

Aside from the race situation, I lost my 19 year old Himalayan cat Simon, and my Dad's brother Raymond passed away while I was away from home.

I won't be coming to Round Top after all, WHICH SUCKS BIG TIME, because I was so looking forward to it. So I am asking all my Blogland friends to take lots of photos and post great blog entries about all the FUN you had.

I'm going to stay in bed for a few days with the covers over my head, probably cry a little bit, and emerge with a new and good attitude, and put all this negativety behind me.

Let's see if we can't all draw some strength from this wonderful photo that was sent to me by a dear friend.
Thanks for listening.

Remember the Alamo

Welcome to San Antonio!

Well I made to town this afternoon.
It rained cats and dogs most of the way.

I have a weeks worth of hard work ahead of me, but I know it will all be worth it in the end.
{Like I haven't been working hard on this race for a year, haha!}

Maybe I'll make a crap load  alot of antiquing money so I can buy everything I want in Round Top!
Woo Hoo.
Ok so I will try to keep you posted through out the week.

See you soon.
