Errands, Errands, and more Errands!

So what does one do when there are only a couple weeks from the time they were crowned to the time they leave for a national competition? One makes VERY detailed to-do lists and runs a lot of errands! :)

On St. Patrick's day I was in Omaha to meet with Michele Strom, owner extraordinaire of the Winning Crown Boutique. She is an incredible resource and has the most gorgeous gowns. If you're thinking about pageantry...go visit!

I also stopped by Omaha Steaks. A Nebraska tradition. They were kind enough to compile a few gifts for me to take with me to W. Virginia. Who doesn't think of Omaha Steaks when you mention Nebraska?

Of course a little wardrobe shopping was in order! One of the boutiques I wanted to go to just happened to be next to an Irish Pub....guess what...no parking spots! So I got a little creative and went to the back side of the business (only 2 parking stalls left!) and asked them to let me in. As I left I saw a LEPRECHAUN! Its a small, small world. Turns out this leprechaun's Mom was Mrs. Nebraska back in the late 60's. That was an Irish blessing meeting her!
