Expo

Tomorrow starts the Gulf Coast Women's Expo. I begged our salon owner, R and J, to be in the Expo. We need the exposure. We are the best kept secret in Pcola.

Here I am an Introvert. Do you know what it means to me to be in the midst of five thousand women in the Civic Center for 12 hours? That is like Hell on earth for me. Plus, we are going to wear cocktail attire. So, not only do I have to be contained in a noisy, cold, crowded place, but I have to be uncomfortable in dressy, stiff, scratchy clothes too!!

TT is going to be the driver. Escorting models and workers from the Civic Center to the salon. Parking at the CC is a nightmare. So, we can all park at salon and TT will drive us to the door at CC.

I quit smoking ( AGAIN) last Friday. It lasted until tonight. Just the thought of it all. . . okay, I am a whimp. . . I smoked tonight.

TT got a job. He is working for his best friend. Selling sheds. Not just any sheds, but sheds that stand up to 140 mph winds. Hurricane proof. Just when I was going to do some house renovations and painting. Shut up HG!!!!! This is so AWESOME for TT!! He could make some really great money$$!!

A shed that can stand 140mph winds? Hmm - mine gets wobbly in 14mph :-)

I think this could be a whole new UK/US culture thing for me to explore. You don't think of sheds like us Brits do anyhow. They are a male sanctuary from the bussle of life... Full of useful bits of wood and string and garden tools you inherited from someone but have never used. Jars full of old nails and screws etc.

Don't be so hard on yourself regards the smoking. Today's another day start again

Ah but would the sheds stand up to Dinners in full gardening flow? I suspect not. I keep forgetting to switch off me chainsaw before I put it down.

Happy sellin' TT

That must be some shed. I wish my house would withstand 140 mph winds.

Hope your Expo went great and what a super nice CC to drive all of you to the door.

Hey there! I just found your post by searching for people's expo experiences. How did it go last year? Were there TONS of people? Will you be there again this year? I'm going to go, but I'm getting pretty nervous... it's coming up soon!
