Rosemary and Olive Oil Triscuits are DIVINE.

Ricky Rudd media interview: And he says the word "Yates". Seriously, the idea of two former 21 drivers on the same roster? Also, on fitting into Tony's seat - there was no extra room. It was snug. Apparently Tony likes a snug seat. I'll just be giggling like a juvenile over here.

***

Zippy talking about why Tony can't just have Ricky start the race in his place: I love Zippy. He got snarky without getting snarky, if that makes sense. (Third question from the bottom.)

Jimmie Johnson goes to qualify, spins the car out...and doesn't hit the wall. At Dover. The video of the back wheels spinning and locking, spinning and locking, spinning and locking as he turned around and around...that was awesome. Heck, if Kyle Busch did that I'd have been in awe (really, even more than Jimmie who at least is a proven driver). That was cool.

Even better was seeing all the pit guys hanging over the wall and Jeff Gordon about to laugh his ass off and dancing around on pit road over that craziness. And watching the announcers get practically giddy.

And Kyle Busch doesn't make any fans: This is why I just can't like him and quite actively don't like him. Can he BE any more snide in his remarks? I think there's a good possibility that Casey Mears actively dislikes Kyle more than Clint Bowyer does. Which may or may not be more than me, because Kyle gets on my frickin nerves. He needs to stop playing at being the bad boy in terms of "this is what the audience wants" and learn that you can mouth off to the media and still not get fined. (Kevin and Tony know how to do it without losing points. Heck, Kurt Busch, highway driving issues aside, knows how to run his mouth but not get it on the track. Putting the anger on the track only loses you friends and points.)

I have my new address for anyone that would like it. (Yeah, I know you're all clamoring. *g* Raise your hand if you're like me and suck at sending mail!)

So just comment with your email addy and I'll send it to you. (Comments screened to protect against spammers.)

(Also? I'm in a mood today. Jamie Mac gives an indication of this mood. It's probably good that Jamie Mac is in Del.)

There is a wasp in the store (or a dirt dobber, but I haven't been able to get close enough to tell).

Of course we have a customer that's allergic. And no fly swatter. And it suddenly decided to hide from me. And allergic lady keeps hopefully saying "Maybe it went out the door." Yeah, if it can phase through solid matter, as the door hasn't been opened since.

*headdesk*

My mother wants me to do data entry. On a spreadsheet. Today. I told her no, even though I technically work for her. Why? Because the project at work that sapped my week and kept me from doing anything but cry, curse bosses and keep my eyes glued to the computer screen is now at the data entry stage - the stage which I have to do this weekend instead of during the work week. So no way in hell am I doing that much data entry over the course of two days. No. Mom can wait until next weekend, since it's not urgent (and she could do it considering it's a slow process and the store is slow right now).

I don't need to be on CNN.com, what with failed Canadian terrorist plots and all. For god's sake, they're Canadians! That's like trying to beat up a nun! You don't pick on the nice ones!

*pets poor Canada*

If it's any consolation, I'm pretty sure the Edmonton Oilers are gonna kick Carolina Hurricane butt in the Stanley Cup finals.

Chocolate cookies with peanut butter chips are good. But adding chocolate chips to the mix? What's the point? I like my peanut butter/chocolate combo, but too much chocolate messes up the balance. Bad form, Keebler. Bad form.

I'm liking the look of Dover practice speeds. Please please please, I like all my boys, but right now I've reached the ennui part of the season where I start desperately hoping for new winners. I want all my boys to finish well, but it comes down to wanting guys who haven't won in a while or guys who haven't won at all to make a run for it. Heck, I'll take a shocker, like...Sterling Marlin for the win! It's been too long since we had a good, incoherent Sterling victory speech.

So yeah, seeing speed charts with Vickers, Sadler, McMurray, Mears, Schrader, Ricky Rudd (OMG PLEASE YES) and even JJ Yeley in there...seriously, can one of them win? (Hamlin is in there too, but for some reason he doesn't ping me right. Ever have that driver that you just cock your head and wonder what it is that doesn't work for you? He's that one for me this year. I could care less about Truex, but it's because he's so bland. With Hamlin there's personality, but something in it has me uneasy.)
