I Survived!

Hi Everyone!

Yes, it's true. I survived the Danskin triathlon. I was unprepared for the swimming portion of the event and found it to be quite a nightmare. I had to swim a half mile in a lake, in Wisconsin, in September, and I didn't have a wet suit. After much profanity and heavy breathing, I did manage to paddle my way across the lake. The biking and running were a breeze compared to that experience.

To those of you who came to see me in St. Charles and couldn't find me, I am so sorry. I was there on Friday but could not set up on Saturday morning because the tent I was in was dripping so badly that my tables and some of my display items were wet. I did not want my jewelry to get ruined. Note to self: no outdoor events in October!

I am looking forward to my event next week on the 28th at Martini Park in Chicago. As far as I'm concerned, any event that is happening at a place with the word "martini" in its name is going to be fun. I hope to see you there!
