Licensing Show Journey

So as you may know, I attended the mother of all Licensing shows in NY in June.

It came about in the strangest way. I had been receiving literature about the show for 2 years or so and I always wanted to go but it wasn't a priority. And as you busy people know, things that are not in the top 5 on the list... well, they just don't happen.

So I was going to be flying back to MI with the girls around the time of the Licensing Show so I wrote this year off too (as far as not being able to go) because Rob was staying here, no one to watch the kids, plus we would have JUST returned to MI the timing wasn't right blah blah blah.

Well the same little slap in the face came to me as did when I started this thing. I was digging through old e-mail, found an important contact from last year, and reconnected with him about two weeks before the show. He wanted to meet and asked if I was going to be in NY. I e-mailed my sister-in-law, "Can you watch the girls?" Yes she'd love to. Went to Orbitz, bought my plane tickets. Went to the Licensing Show website and registered, then signed up for the whole conference package since I had no idea what the hell I was doing, kissed my hubby goodbye and left for Michigan. Got briefly settled in then took the girls to their cousin's house and left for New York!

So the moral is: Sometimes the only one getting in your way is you.

Next will come all the stuff I leaned at the show!
