Pennsylvania....Pt. two

 

On our last night of the expo and in Harrisburg this was how beautiful the skyline was. After completing two nine day expos back to back and ending this last show with a nasty case of bronchitis I was ready to come home. This trip was definatly an adventure as the images below will show.



Our booth was across from Cabela's so it was prime real estate :) just do not mess with this guy.. he didn't have his morning coffee... or brush his teeth. I did not realize just how many hunters and rednecks there are out on the East coast. Coming from the wild wild west and from a huntin' family I was comfortable in these surroundings but I was definitely surprised by the turnout.

As This was a hunting expo there was lots and lots AND LOTS of beef jerky available for purchase. 

 Me and Simone decided to make our image more rugged... this helped sales... but did not stop men from being pervs....

Between the two of us we have a GREAT RACK! hahaha

Wanna try our manly rugged, good for your beard and antlers man butter? HAHAHA and I know what your thinking... Is that EDWARD CULLEN? between the babes in camo?? and the answer is no. That is Jared aka Yum Yum. The guy on the end is the boss :)

Meet Blinker he has a non-functioning eye and was looking for a home. I couldn't resist loving on him for a min... soo cute! I knew that if I brought him home my beagle baby would disown me forever.

Pennsylvania....... part uno

Well show numero dos is coming to a close and not a moment too soon. The show it's self has been a blast but two 9 day shows back to back is a bit much. My feet hurt, I am tired and I am ready for a few days at home. Maybe more than a few. I miss my fam and friends and my baby girl,

Here is a brief outline of what has gone on in the last week: (Please note these things are not arraigned in any particular order per se I listed them as I have remembered them)

*I took a Greyhound bus from D.C. to Harrisburg at 3am.... ALONE..... this was scary and I am NEVER doing that again. I made it safe and somewhat sound though.

*I met one of my co-workers at 6:30 am one morning when I woke up and she was in bed next to me..... Now get your mind out of the gutter......... There are 3 of us in one room so someone has gotta share  a bed. Thankfully this girl seems to be cut from the same cloth as me. So it was all good.

*The Amish are REAL fun to watch. I like that they wear crocs and avoid eye contact with us at all cost.

* There are lots and lots AND lots of fun photo ops around this show since is a sports and outdoor show that is held in NINE different buildings. I will be posting photos soon enough.

* I was made aware I work for Naked A.S.S (Advanced Skin Solutions) ya.... of course I do.

*This morning one sales rep referred to our product as "Man Butter" in hopes of luring some rather rugged men to trying some.... I almost peed my pants laughing at that description and I was not at all surprised that those men where UN-interested in sampling our fine product.

*There is a adorable little Pomeranian that is in need of a home that only has one eye. His name is Blinker. (pictures to come) and if my baby girl wasn't so anti-sharing her momma I would take him home in a heartbeat!!

*We added camouflage to our decor in hopes that we would blend better with our surroundings instead of seeming so Prussian. So far this has been quite effective.

This is just a sampling of the shenanigans that have unfolded. As always more to come so stay tuned!

Home sweet home

Finally home! For a few days anyway. My first show was great and I am only home a few days before I head back out. Well, maybe there is a huge snow storm in the Midwest that has closed a lot of airports across the country. This storm actually caused me to come home late. I left Milwaukee Monday evening and landed in Denver but my connecting flight had already left so I had to hang out at the airport until the next morning fingers crossed that I made it on standby for the first flight out. It was a looooong, looooong night. I didn't sleep, it was cold and well there are a lot of creepy people wandering around. But I made it on standby and I am home sweet home! The first thing I did was hug my beagle baby and then we napped... I hadn't slept in 24 hours so I was exhausted. Now, to get the million things I need to do done before the next trip.........:)
