Ladies Night

Every once in a while I do an event or party with my friend Tammy.  She is a representative for Lia Sophia jewelry.  Hostess's have had a dual party in the past and we each present our products (mine is Tastefully Simple) and share the night and the customers.  It's a win win situation for all involved.  So, today was no exception. 

On Thursday nights at Nebraska Brewing Co., it's Ladies Night.  Tammy has for some time, been taking her jewelry one Thursday night a month, to the brewery.  This last week, she asked the manager if I could join her.  He thought it was a great idea!  So we met there and set up our things at adjoining tables for all to browse and shop.  Graduation and Mother's Day are just a couple reasons like to shop this time of year.  Our products make great gift ideas.

Here is the main bar area.  There is ample seating in the loft, where I'm standing to take this picture, and also to the right in a larger restaurant style area.

We enjoyed some fresh ale ourselves.  For the ladies the special was any draw beer (on tap) for $ .75/glass.  Can't beat that!  We also ordered food as we were there right over supper time.  I had the Drunk'n Chicken Strips and Tammy ate the Mushroom and Swiss burger with Sweet Potato Fries.  Very tasty! 
Many people walking by would stop and shop or simple browse and keep walking.  We were able to get many more contacts for our business besides each having a few sales so it was worth it for us.

Birthday Celebration

Wow....today has been a great day!  Even though I had to work my normal shift at the airport, on my birthday,  I still had plans afterwards to join my friends for some shopping and an evening meal out.  I met my friends at Trisa's house and we went to Kohl's for the first stop of our shopping extravaganza.  From there we drove to Shadow Lake Towne Center.  After eating an early evening meal at Wheatfield's,  we found a parking space centrally located to most of our favorite stores and hit the sidewalks.  We walked in and out of most of them.  Clothing was tried on and some purchased, shoes were tried out and most purchased, and accessories were picked out and of course, purchased.   Tammy and I were the last two standing that night.  We were out and about until most of the stores were closing up shop at 9 PM.  I hadn't done that for many months! 

My day started with many birthday greetings popping up on Face Book.  They continued alllll day long!  I think before it was all said and done, there had been over 50 people sending me good wishes.  I love how I've been able to reconnect with so many that I used to see and talk to regularly when I used to live in ND. 
It was so fun to read them all.  I also had a few phone calls and even some text messages from a couple people.  Technology has certainly changed.  There are so many forms of communication and they all worked for me that day. 

But the birthday celebrations aren't over today.  Next Saturday, on the 5Th of March, I'll be joining my best friends for a co-birthday celebration with Lisa.  She celebrates hers on March 12th.  So we are all getting together on the 5TH.  Stay tuned for all the fun details on that day! 

Thanks to everyone that sent greetings my way!  I love to hear from you any time.
