Ice Princesses



So I went to see Disney Princesses on Ice on Saturday with Hannah, Lydia, and the gang. I'd never been to anything like it before, and it was a lot of fun! As a person who has a BS in Marketing, I think that the Disney people that decided to break off the princesses into their own brand are brilliant. I've never seen so many little girls wearing princess dresses (all Disney-branded, of course) and so many parents shelling out cash for $10 princess snow cones, $30 princess t-shirts, and $45 stuffed animal princess sidekicks. Genius.

I will say that the highlight of my day was discovering that Kimberly knows the NC State logo. My indoctrination sessions are finally starting to pay off...I think we have another Wolfpack fan in the making.



After the show was over, I frantically drove over to Mordecai to meet Rachael and Joy for the Christmas tours. I did get suckered into reading "Twas the Night Before Christmas," but after 3 or 4 tours, we opted to read the read the real Christmas story from the Bible (since we had a captive audience and people need to hear about Jesus.). Rach did end up sharing the reading...which was good, because I was getting tongue-tied on all the "thees', "thous", "whilsts", and so forth of the King James translation. We sang "Silent Night" about 500 times...and "whilst" it is a beautiful song, I don't care if I hear it again for at least 2 months. We swung by the Cook Out for an eggnog milkshake on the way home, which made everything better.

Mmmm...eggnog...

Why would you you want to try and influence another person to be a wuffpack fan? So they can be miserable with you over all the losing sports teams they turn out at mooU?
