My Husband's Job ROCKS!!!

Today at Jim's work, Ryan Newman (my second favorite Nascar driver.....after Kasey :) came in for a celebration after winning the Daytona 500 a few weeks ago. When Jim found out that he was coming, we dug out our Ryan Newman diecast cars so he could take them in to get them autographed. While he was there, he also bought me a t-shirt with Ryan & his Daytona victory on it & got that autographed for me as well :) They also had Kasey's car there, but no Kasey :( as well as Kurt Busch's car (GAG ME! LOL). Sorry, but when he replaced Rusty in the # 2, I wasn't thrilled at all!!!
Just one of the many perks at his work :) Now if he'd just get ME a job there! Jim said it was really cool the way they had Ryan come into the celebration.....he actually drove his car in & he said you could really feel & hear the roar of the engine as it echoed throughout the whole building.
A close-up of the autograph on the t-shirt. I wanna wear it so bad, but I'm almost afraid to because I know that the autograph will fade a little with each washing. Our daughter has a t-shirt that Godsmack autographed & it slowly started fading off. Does anyone have any tips to keep it from fading (besides not washing it, that is, lol)?
Thanks for all the wonderful comments on my newly re-altered Ikea Fira drawer units :) I really do love the way they turned out! Someone asked me what I am using them for......I store chipboard & other alphabets & numbers in the smaller drawers & other loose chipboard pieces in the remaining drawers. I also altered 2 other things using the same papers. Here, I did a wooden caddy that I bought at JoAnn's quite a while back.
You can't see the sides very good, but they have the black polka-dot paper on them & I 'stickled' the holes in the paper. I store our bills & budget notebook in this.

Here is the Crafty Caddy (as I call them) that I did. I use this one to store my pens, pencils, scissors & calculator next to my computer. You can click on each image for a larger view.

In other news, sadly, I'm going to be returning my Elliptical :( I've been using it for 2 1/2 weeks & I just cannot get used to it no matter how hard I try. Even the guy at the store where I purchased it said that I should be able to go on it longer than I am by now. I want to like it.....I really do! It's just kicking my butt :( But I'm not giving up on losing weight! No-sir-ree! Jim & I are very seriously thinking about joining the gym right down the road from us.....we're going to go check it out this weekend to see if it's something we'll both like. And I may also invest in another treadmill because I honestly miss my treadmill! I want to exercise so badly & I'm determined to lose this fat! I WILL NOT let the fat win this battle!!! Nope, nope, NOPE!!! The good news is, I did lose 3 lbs. in 2 weeks :) So that's a start, right? :)

I'm off to watch some tv & relax.....have a great weekend!
