 What the heck am I doing today? Shenanigans, General Tomfoolery or What? You never know |
The Illinois Product Expo Today ended up being a great day, despite a slow start. Why a slow start. My other half woke up after having a rough night, up and down on the Porcelain God. At least she wasn't vomiting. Maybe in some ways she wished she was. I took personal notes, mail, and the like to what we term Shred Day. The city provides a truck, All city residents have to do is show up with boxes of documents they want shredded. We never have a box, only a plastic bag. Still, it's nice to be able to do that. Afterward, I stopped by Einstein Brother's Bagels to get us breakfast. Despite the night she had, Kathy was able to really enjoy her Nova Lox. We had planned on going to Springfield Illinois for the Illinois Product Expo around 10 or so. When I realized the kind of night she'd had, I figured that maybe we'd get to go tomorrow. Around 1 or so she said we should go. Needless to say, I was ecstatic, we needed to get out after being home almost all winter. So we drove the 55 miles or so to the Illinois Product Expo at the State Fairgrounds in Springfield. I have to say, we had an excellent time while there! There were many exhibits, most were selling something, and we spent too much. Not that we couldn't afford it, it was just more than planned. Some of the things we bought included some outstanding Garlic Brats, Pickled Garlic, a jar of Horseradish Mustard, Some Jalapeno Jelly, Bee's Wax bowl covers, and so much more that I don't remember right now. Leaving the show we came back to Bloomington and went to dinner at a local Mexican Restaurant. Saturday night, 6 pm, it was packed. Our server had a party of 25-30 at 3 different tables, a party of 6, and three other smaller tables, one of which was us. He was slow and rightly so, but very good. It was probably the worst experience we've had at that restaurant, but in reality, our server was overloaded. Overall, a great day. We went out and about after all! |
