I'd rather watch paint dry

I have been dreading this like someone would dread having a root canal. Although, I wouldn't know what that's like because I've never had so much as a cavity or had any work done on my teeth. If my dentist told me I had a cavity, I would probably get a second opinion. Simply put, I'd rather watch paint dry than to have another picture taken for the blog.

I have to try to decide if I want to pose next to another driver or do some other type of prop. I picked Dale Earnhardt Jr. as a prop for two reasons: One, because I like him and Two, because I think most people when they see that red fire suit with the "Bud" on it, know immediately it is something to do with racing. I think I said a while back that I wanted to pick a prop that would stand out and yell, NASCAR. I didn't want anyone thinking that it was about knitting, shopping or some recipe cooking-type blog.

So here I am faced with deciding if I should or should not get a new picture taken. In a way, I would prefer keep the picture as is. I hate change. I hate that he is going to a new team, new colors, new number, all of it. I hate thinking that I am going to look at the blog and see a new picture of myself staring at me with possibly a different driver also. The concept of me trying to take a picture that I actually like, makes me ill. I'll have to go and get my hair done, get my brows waxed, maybe get in a couple tanning sessions so I can "feel good" about having it done....uugh! I'm so not a fu-fu girl.

Part of me says, just leave it alone. But I am feeling the pressure of several folks saying that I can't have the same picture if Junior isn't in the Bud car. Ultimately, I think that decision is mine but I'll ask you for your two cents.

What do you think? What are your thoughts and/or suggestions? I would like to hear what wild and crazy ideas you all have. Thanks.

About this blog:
I am hopeful that this will be a place where people can air their two cents' worth about a race, catch up on the gossip and share their opinions on the rules and regulations of NASCAR. I have always felt that there has been a need for such a place in Maine and that this blog helps to fill the void.
