Then, on my own accord, I went to the wedding expo yesterday at the Minneapolis Convention Center. It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. The women were pretty tame, except the group who came prancing down the escalator wearing pink sweatshirts that read "Carla's Bridesmaid". Gross. Just gross. Anyway, about the expo: I've found that my tastes are simple, but somehow that equates to expensive in the wedding world. I guess the jewel-studded, pink frilly style uses gaudiness to cover up cheapness. My favorite dress, which was pretty plain as far as wedding dresses go, was $3,000. I didn't know I had such an eye for the good stuff; I wish I didn't. Anyway, the best booths were the food/cake booths. I'm definitely going with a Lund's/Byerly's cake. I still need to set a date and find a place for this shindig, so that is the priority for my lunch breaks over the next few weeks.
Tom got some new toys this weekend that most people wouldn't appreciate. They were heavy 20-35 lb balls with handles. They're basically a modified dumbell that gives a lot more versatility to lifting. We squeezed in a playground workout before the expo, and with the balls, did some single arm power lifting. At this rate, my shoulders will never fit into a dress; especially one of my $3,000 picks. I couldn't find my expo picks online, but here's one of the expensive ones I really like.
