Working Womens Survival Show 2009

We have started an annual girls outing to the WWSS(working women's survival show). It started last year with just me, my mom, and Loni. It is held in St. Charles. Last year we got there around 9, stayed till around 2, went and got lunch, then to a movie. So it was definitely an all day event.

This year Matt's mom joined us. And we pretty much did the same thing. Loni stayed the night Friday, and the rest of the girls, along with the sitters (my dad, and Adam) came over around 7:30. I was really worried about the sitter situation since Ry was so sick the day before, but the guys handled it quit well. Matt got off school around 1 so he was able to meet up with them to take over. It was a day full of boys, junk food, and fun (not to mention the silly string he was introduced to).

Well us girls headed out. We got there about 15 till 9. It was not nearly as crowded as last year(probably due to V-day). This show has everything there. We ate tons of samples.There are always tons of free massages, including an electrical one that actually makes your arms involuntarily move (which I don't think is a good thing)Last year there were lots of nail stands. We left with different colored and designed nails, and lots of different fingers. This was the only one they were doing this year. And it was clear. But my middle right finger is still shiny, and it should last for month for only $45. (crazy people)
Both the moms with all there laugh lines being plumped out. And of course since it was a demonstration they only got one eye done...but the pic is priceless...good thing they don't ever check my blog unless instructed to.

They also had the wine bar downstairs (he he he, right Loni). I don't know how they don't expect you to get drunk. There is 3 tables, with about 3 different samples you could try a piece. With really long lines behind you, so you had to drink it fast. Wow, our heads were spinning when we go done. And that was only round one. That round of wine lasted maybe an hour. Upstairs they have different types of alcohol you can sample. I did the straight iced tea vodka (wow, powerful stuff) Then about 6 other different samples, once again you had to shot it fast due to the amount of people. We got really giddy for about another hour. It was all so harmless, but fun to be silly for a bit. This is how I got in so much trouble last year. I drank all this and everyone who wanted me to sign up for something, I did(remember the Osborne books). I can be so gullible at times...I am just trying to be nice, I just couldn't say no. Well, this year, Matt said "DO NOT SIGN UP FOR ANYTHING". I think he meant it. It was with his very serious voice. So I can't tell you how many people think my husband is a huge jerk, since he won't let me do anything...I will tell you it was a great excuse to get out of alot of stuff.
With all the giddiness and giggles, there was a sex party both as well. Of course that brought lots of giggles, especially with our 'G-SPOT' stickersLast year they had this huge air tent filled with fake money from funjet vacations. We got in line just a minute to late. Loni really wanted to do this. So it was really exciting when we got to do it this year. On all the fake money, you have a chance to win a prize. Well we both won the same thing. A sexy male wall calender. These men were practically naked. It was funny. But we both decided to give them to the older women, they were excited, besides who needs the calendar when our men are sexier then them. A wildlife booth had this little owl. He was actually really old, but no bigger than a foot tall. He was so cute...unfortunately due to the wine, I can't remember his name. Well honestly, wine or no wine I probably still would not have remembered.After we left there we went to lunch then to the movies. Last year we saw Juno, this year we saw Confessions of a Shopaholic. It was okay, it was cute, but a little played out. Then finally 12 hours later we arrived home to our guys. They (mainly just Ry) were so excited to see us. Matt thought it would be okay to give Ry the huge left over bucket of popcorn (which Ryan will not forget about, it was the first thing he wanted this morning). He shared some with Clem, it was a nice (i guess) evening snack for the two to share.Loni and I finally got to get our 'Sham Wow's', they are these really big really absorbent shammies. They are amazing. So we split the cost of them and split the shammies. They have been on all our wish lists for a very long time. Well Ryan is obsessed with them as well. We had to hide them in the spare bedroom this morning. Last night the big thing was to throw them over peoples heads and say where did they go, with the look of confusion on your face with a shrug of the shoulders. This lasted forever. I had a great time with 3 women that I love so much. It was something I really needed. Just a not thinking 12 hours, filled with pampering...and free stuff!
Can't wait till WWSS 2010!

Wow, that really sounded like fun. Wish I could have been there. I've heard about those shows but never really knew what all they had.
