Revvin' It Up On Valentine's Day

Sometimes I consider myself lucky on Valentine's Day because while the rest of you suckers are racking your brains on what to do for your better half, I get to treat the day as if it doesn't even exist.   Most of you are aware that because of the industry Robert is in, Valentine's Day happens to be his busiest day of the year - with the exception of Mother's Day.  So while he caters to hundreds of couples this year professing their love over a very expensive dinner, I will be...

AT THE DAYTONA 500!  Yes, friends, in exchange for a romantic dinner out, I'm gladly trading in for a hootin' hollerin' time at Nascar's International Speedway.  And my date for this first-time experience is my brother, Todd.  With Robert's connections to the Speedway, he was able to not only score us great tickets, but we also have pre-race pit passes.  Now as long as I can keep Todd away from Earnhardt Jr. I'll be in good shape.  He has, what I like to call, a man crush on Dale Jr.  But it seems all of Daytona does so maybe we won't stand out too bad.

I'm excited for the experience simply because I've never been to a race and you really can't get much bigger than the Daytona 500.  Even if the experience proves to be miserable, at least I can say I've been there.  But I know Todd will love it, so it will be worth it no matter what my opinion is...

Check back for pictures.

Oh, and babe, I will be sure to have a piping hot dinner ready for you when you get home Sunday night - and yes, you are reading that correctly.  It's Valentine's Day after all.
