So, I'm totally pumped about tonight...I'm headed to pretty much THE coolest thing in this underrated state of IOWA! Yes...the IOWA STATE FAIR, yay! Hey, it may sound cheesy, but it is the largest State Fair in the country and listed in the book 1,000 Places to See Before You Die ...in the world! :P Here are my top ten reasons I look forward to the fair, despite a 100 degree heat index:
1.) Scrumdidlyumcious homemade cheese curds.
2.) Cup 'o cookies - a dozen little chocolate chip cookies right outta the oven.
3.) Cinnamon mini-donuts. Thank you God!
4.) Picking up all the free junk & signing up to win stuff in the Varied Industries & Tourism Buildings.
5.) Checking out the Carnies in the Midway. Gross, but entertaining. :P
6.) Running into old friends.
7.) Riding the Double-Ferris Wheel & Giant Slide. I'm still a child at heart! :)
8.) Looking at the Cultural Building's photo & art displays.
9.) Bill Riley's Talent Sprouts Countest. They're SO cute!
10.) THE BEST: People-watching! Every "population" you can imagine is seen at the State Fair...
Besides my annual trip to the State Fair, I get to road-trip to the Twin Cities this weekend with "The Rookie" Jame-O from Admissions & Ambassador Drew (a.k.a. Future Winner of the yet to be created t.v. reality show America's Next Top Actor)! The Admissions Office & the Alumni Relations Office are hosting the Minnesota Send-Off Sunday evening for the incoming Minnesota students, area alumni & current Simpson students. It's so fun to see all my students make connections before moving in next weekend! Not only am I excited for that event, but I can't wait to eat at one of my favorite restaurants "Noodles & Company," which they don't yet have in Des Moines. The Wisconsin Mac 'n Cheese ranks right up there with the NY Yankees in awesomeness! Anyway, I look forward to having the company on the trip up & chattin' with Drew before he becomes a Londonite soon.
SHOUT OUT to Sabra, the winner of my favorite t.v. show "So, You Think You Can Dance!" I was SO happy to see her win - she's definitely THE best dancer & most beautiful gal I've ever seen! :)

I can't believe you like anything with "curd" in the title. It's SO not you!
I did not know that the fair was listed as one of the thousand places to see before you die...sweet!
See you in the AM for our weekend adventure! Yay!
