It's Iowa State Fair time!

It's that time of the year again....the Iowa State Fair starts tomorrow. Growing up in Des Moines, it was the premiere annual event and we attended every year. In the years that I didn't live in Iowa, it was one of the things I missed and I even came home for it one year.

Last year I was a Blue Ribbon winner in two catagories of scrapbooking. I entered 4 different things this year and will see what happens. It will be hard to top last year's wins.

I've had tons of friends call me this week asking about the "first Friday night" out and I've had to say "We'll see" instead of a definite "YES".

First, the weather. If it stays the way it is now, it's now an issue, but if it gets hot and humid again, no way. Last year it was MISERABLE and I'm not doing THAT again. Second, I have to work all day Friday and if my ass is dragging, I'm not going, but if by chance I get a second wind, the weather is nice...I'll be meeting my friends for a our traditional "get drunk" and act like we're all 21 again.
