The pink slip

I got the ax today. :( I never thought I would become a victim of layoffs, because at the last quarterly meeting they said the company was still profitable and doing well. They told me they were "restructuring" the sites I work at and that my job has been eliminated, today being my last day. At least they were nice enough to give me a severance package. But still, I think it's kinda harsh to lay off someone who is two months away from having a baby, whose husband is working for free. Plus, who's going to hire someone that's pregnant? I guess it's off to the unemployment office for me. On the plus side, I get to spend more time with my daughter now and get to enjoy spring break with Craig next week. (Plus, I wasn't planning on coming back to work after my maternity leave anyway) I guess it all works out in the end, just not the way I expected.

Fun with pressure cookers

We got a pressure cooker for Christmas and we used it for the first time to cook our Sunday dinner. We decided to cook a whole turkey inside it. It was the most magnificent thing I have ever seen. Not only did it cook for just a little over an hour, but the meat was practically, no, literally falling off the bone. When we opened the cooker, we saw 2 turkey leg bones sticking out with the meat falling off. It was the most delicious and juicy turkey I have ever had. We get really excited about food over here, just ask Abby. Anyone that has been in nursery with her knows that girl can eat. I wonder where she gets it from?

Nascar madness!

OK, so we're not rednecks, I promise!! We got our hands on some free Nascar tickets for Saturday's race and decided to head on over to Vegas to check out the action. We really liked looking at all the rednecks, some great car crashes, foot-long corn dogs, and onion blossoms. The lady next to me was enjoying her turkey leg. Here are a few of the highlights!

Craig posing at Dale Earnhardt's trailer. He actually got a compliment on his shirt from some real rednecks! He bought it on his mission in South Carolina in a rebel shop.

A redneck flag that says redneck on it! Where else could you find that??

If you can't tell, this is a teenager wearing a beer helmet with no beer in it.

A grown man wearing overalls. Need I say more?

We were pretty sure this guy had a mullet. Classic Nascar fan.

Harley man with a doo-rag. Craig liked him a lot.

Cut off sleeves baby!!
