Any guesses where I spent the last week? I was at The Alabama National Fair! Oh Yeah! You read right I spent the whole week at the fair. Not only did I spend the entire week at the fair, I got paid to be there. Oh yeah I definitely went into the right career field. Granted by Saturday I had my fill of the fair, but it was a nice week out of the office none the less.
I really didn’t want to be at the fair at first. I just stuck it in the bottom of a stack of papers for a while. A few weeks ago (literally like 3 weeks ago) I was told we were going to have a booth at the fair. I reluctantly agreed only thinking of how much of my budget was about to be spent on this “inexpensive” way to be in the community. Grand total approximately $2,300.
We talked about our Kirby Club account for kids and CU Succeed for teens most of the week. I also mentioned our CD rates quite a few times, 4.98% APR for 7 months. I found out Friday that a couple I spoke with on Wednesday came in and opened a $25,000 7 month CD. Sure wish I got commission or something ;)
I wound up driving south on Friday because my Aunt had a heart attack last week. She is still in ICU, but overall I think the outlook is good. It was nice being home for a little while, but I don’t think I will ever move back home. It is such a long drive to get to anything down there! I walked a few miles with my mom Saturday morning then watched the Bama game. Later I went to my dad’s and we grilled out and watched the AU game.
So there was my week. Here’s to another great one!

Hope things work out for your aunt.
Man, I wish my work allowed me to be at the fair for a week! We used to do that as kids, when we participated in a lot of activities: we'd pretty much live there. Sigh.
I want some cotton candy.
And a candied apple.
And a hamburger and a corn dog.
