Life full!!!!

I have so many things going on right now I really don't know what way is up!!  This past weekend was beyond busy!

I was out at the Dallas County Fair helping my mom and dad for the week as they are on the fair board and help things run smoothly out there.  Mostly I just sat with my lovely grandma in the booth she had there selling her hand made items she took up there.  She didn't sell much but we did some WONDERFUL people watching!!

Friday night at the fair is Figure 8 races. I DO NOT understand the concept of this but my goodness is it COMPETITIVE!!! My sweet mother almost got into a fight with someone just trying to get them to leave! It was insane!! All though it was a great night for people watching again!  I set up a little table for my new business venture.  I am selling "blinged out" hats, shoes and sunglasses.  For those of you who have NO IDEA what I am talking about...............I have a "quick" picture for you but I am going to try to get more pictures so you will be able to see my whole inventory and order as you wish. 

There are all different styles.  Some have crosses, some have horseshoes, I got some new ones with guitars that say Rock on!!  And of course the skull and cross bones that are my favorite!!  We are just starting to get sunglasses and flip flops with the bling on them too.  Let me know if you are interested and I will see if we can get whatever you are looking for!!

Saturday was the busiest day!! It started by heading to the State Fair grounds to help set up for the Corndog Kickoff!  I have never been to this and was VERY excited to attend.  It is kind of the big start to the State Fair season.  It is a HUGE fund raiser for the Blue Ribbon Foundation and helps keep the fairgrounds looking great!

So after getting the final touches on the decorations done I went back out to the fair to sell some hats and sit with my grandma for the final day.  Then it was time to get ready for a fun night of free food and drinks and great conversation!

Some of the vendors that sell food at the fair set up and serve samples at the Kickoff.  So I had a pork chop on a stick, hot beef sundae, corn-dog, Graham Champion Fair Square (the new one this year), nut roll, pulled pork BBQ sandwich, watermelon, Gizmo, lots of beer, made a wax hand and bought myself a Corndog Kickoff Crock!!

My friend Bridgette went with me.  This is me trying to keep my eyes open for the picture!! I tend to get squinty eyes when I have had a drink or two! 

There were so many great items for the silent auction and live auction we didn't even make it around to all of them to see or to all the food!!  I was so full when we left there I could hardly move!  So we decided after helping clean up for a while we would go dancing and burn off some of our calories!!

I had a great time but I can tell I am not used to staying out that late anymore!!!  I slept in WAY late on Sunday but it felt oh so good!!

Piece and Chicken Grease Y'all!!
