This morning was little rocky, I almost lost my train pass and then I almost fell down the escalator, which would be a first, because usually I fall walking up it, but that’s another story. Then, I went over to Urban Outfitters to find a cute hat that is both warm and fashionable, well I couldn’t find one, but I did get a pair of Vans for $10. How awesome is that? And it’s the pair that I used to have but wore a hole in both shoes, so now I have a replacement pair.
NASCAR Update:
Jeff Gordon thinks Dale Earnhardt, Jr. will not return to DEI after this season citing Junior’s rocky relationship with his Stepmother, Teresa Earnhardt.

Plus two of its teams are brand new and the other is Bill Davis Racing. Hmm…Let me guess who’ll win this war! (usatoday.com)
