Do The Puyallup

I grew up in Puyallup Washington, home of the Western Washington State Fair (aka: The Puyallup Fair). It was such a big event that each year we had a fair day, where we got out of school for a day just to go to the fair.  The fair is so big that it even has it's own song (see link below).  Some of my favorite memories include the Fisher scones, Elephant Ears and Crusty Pups (those are corndogs  . . . . just some clarification for those who might think otherwise!).  Hmmm, it's interesting how even back then my world revolved around food.  One of my favorite rides was the large swings that went up and around.  During the high school days our cheerleading squad would perform at the fair.  They have everything and anything you would want to see, do or eat at a fair.  So if you ever up in the northwest during the early part of September, make sure you schedule some time in to Do The Puyallup!

Why Now???

I have resisted the world of blogging.  Why?  I never thought my life was that exciting and therefore wouldn't have much to write about.  I figured the only people that would be reading it would be my parents and let's be honest, I talk to them pretty much everyday so everything can be covered in a phone call or two or three.  I guess I run the risk of them now not answering my calls and they can call it good with just reading my blog.  However, this is the Year of  New Meeja and I want my mom to have some good things to write about me in the family Christmas letter so here I am!  Who knows what will be next, a smart phone???
