What were we thinking?



So Kris and I thought it would be fun to work at the Scrapbook USA Expo and earn some extra money to spend there. We went a little early and shopped and then it was off to the Scrapworks booth to start our 12 hour shift. It started out pretty fun: talking to lots of "crazy" scrapbookers, stocking some shelves, and handing out bags. Then we went and worked the cash registers--from 2:00 p.m.-12:00 a.m.! Yes...that's MIDNIGHT!! No stopping! Which really turned into 1:00 a.m. with cleaning up and everything. Stefanie did go and get us some food that we had to hurry and scarf down. Thanks Stef!
Our feet and backs were hurting so bad it was hard to stand up straight. We barely made it to the car. My toe (from surgery) was so swolen it wouldn't fit into my one and only pair of shoes that fit. These:



We got home around 2:30 a.m. and fell fast asleep (quickly). Then back up at 8:00 to head back to the expo for our fun classes. We had fun today! We took two good classes and got some killer deals that we of course couldn't pass up. LOL

It was fun to be in the atmosphere of all the fun, but it is even funner to be home and relaxing.

I almost forgot to share the best part of the day (besides the wonderful company of my BFF Kris) LUNCH!! We went here:



We shared king and snow crab legs and each thoroughly enjoyed a margarita, with lots of salt. YUM!! We will definitely be going there again.

Overall, a fun weekend!
