The Fair

Well...I'm embarrassed to admit this but our fair day was totally normal, fun and too short.

I spent $6,180. That included eye shadow, parking, beer, food, and a hot tub. I tried to buy a horse for $200 but the owner was such an asshole about it. Saying something about that's how much the hay costs or some crap like that. I left without counter offering.

It's absolutely exhausting walking & drinking in that heat all day too hence the early departure. We got there around noonish and left around 8. you'd think 8 hours was enough but not for me. And i gained 4 pounds for all that fun. kinda worth it.

I want to go again but i've sworn off alcohol until i'm a size 6. I might miss 3 fairs at that commitment.

I had always wondered if people actually bought goods sold at the fair -- particularly hot tubs -- and now I know.

As for the horse, you already have one and his name is Kody:-)

I offended someone the other day when I referred to the California State Fair as the Annual White Trash Convention.

$6,180.00??? I am hoping for $40.00tops. I just resent paying $9.00 for beer, but I have no problem paying $5.00 for a green chili soft taco...yum! I can't wait to go.

wait a sec...hot tub???

Doctors have told me, again and again --via internet, that its very important to drink wine. (mmm...by one glass I think they mean a really big one) You don't want to hurt your health, do you?
