Today was...

very enjoyable. Abby took off work so we could go to the Southern Women's Show. She wanted to see Jon and Kate (plus 8). We started out with a lovely lunch at Gatherings in Trussville. They have the most delicious Strawberry Pretzel Salad.

Left there and arrived at the BJCC - parking was $7, tickets for the show were $9 (each). We walked around with our free plastic bags from Chik-fil-a and tried to avoid the vendors begging us to register for giveaways. We left after about 2 hours.
Notes from the show:

We didn't get to see Jon or Kate - the seating was inadequate for the crowd.

Mothers of multiples were everywhere (I guess they wanted their kids to see more kids?)

Our rewards from the show were: a bunch of flyers, a fingernail file, a couple of magazines full of advertising, a pen and I had one shiny fingernail where a foreign guy demonstrated a buffing product he was selling.

Things we did not buy were: the Weight Loss Patch, Dark Chocolate with no caffeine, dips, sauces, cookware, a Christmas sweatshirt, fake pony tails, knock-offs, sleep system beds, tazers, pepper spray, jewelry, crazy clothes, crazy shoes, frilly socks, leggings, fudge, Avon, Mary Kay, Clinique, Estee Lauder, stationary, fight breast cancer blinkie buttons, henna tattoos, body wraps.................................

I did enjoy a free cup of Blue Bell vanilla ice cream. They served it with those cute little flat wooden spoons.

Please remind me that I'm supposed to remind Abby that we aren't going to the SWS next year.
