I'M GOING TO CONVENTION 2013

Last year was my first time to attend a CTMH convention....it was in Dallas so getting the "thumbs up" from the hubby wasn't a problem.  When they announced at the Dallas closing ceremonies that the 2013 convention would be in Florida I immediately thought "hmmm....this is going to be a tough one to get past him"...but I had hope....

Then LIFE HAPPENED in 2012.  With my being out of work since last August, and STILL dealing with health/mobility issues, I had ABSOLUTELY NO plans or even dreams of getting to go this year.  I was making my plans to grab a cup of coffee (or 2), get comfy on the couch, and follow the excitement via blog & twitter feeds (yep I was going to figure out the whole twitter thing).

Then last Sunday I went to my upline's house for a consultant meeting.  I was more or less tuning out the excited conversations about planning for convention.....

WAIT!!!....driving??? Did I just hear that y'all are DRIVING?????

Debbie (my upline) laughed and said something like "I was hoping that MIGHT change things for you".

Now....it was STILL not an "easy sell" on the home front.  I took a LOT of flak from the hubby and my 2 teenage girls....

• Them:  "You're going to DISNEY without us????"
• Me:  "I'm NOT going to Disney, just to a hotel NEAR Disney"

• Them:  "You're going on vacation without us?"
• Me:  "No, it's a business convention"
• Them:  "Yeah, RIGHT!"
• Me:  silence (I OCCASIONALLY know when to keep my mouth SHUT) 
• Hubby:  "It's a WEEK doing what you love most AT a LUXURY hotel....it's a vacation"
• Me:  silence (while come-backs like "YOU get to do what you love most ~golf~  EVERYDAY) flitted in and out of my mind....but I kept my mouth SHUT :-)

• Them:  "Fine, if you leave us you shall be SHUNNED!  They name shall be "Shunnie"
• Me:  "I can live with that"
• Hubby:  "Shunnie, Shunnie, Shunnie" in a fun sing-song way (He's cute like that)
• Me:  "I love you too Honey!"
• Girls:  "Shunnie, Shunnie, Shunnie" in a not so fun or sweet way
• Me:  "Fine, I'll just go cry on Mickey's shoulder"  yep....should have continued to keep my mouth shut!

Guess What?
