Conference Wimp

That’s what I am, yes I am. I’m at conference and it’s nearing the end of the first day and I. am. wiped. out. I’m getting sleepy and a bit headachey and my rump (eep!) is sore. LOL I’m no good, I tell ya, I’m just no good. I think the last event of this nature I attended was the Texas PTA Summer Conference. And boy, I tell ya – that one really wore me out! I got a GIANT migraine that first day. So in the headache department – I’m actually doing pretty well! Yea!

It’s a bit sad to even mention the conference name in this whiny and wimpy post, but, I guess I have to tell ya. I’m at WordCamp Dallas. I’ve wanted to go to a WordCamp for a long time and the times and locations just haven’t worked out for me until now. This year, the conference came right at the end of my summer, month-long trip home to Dallas. I was so excited when I saw the dates for this year’s conference. And the super cool thing is that I’m not only getting to fly home, instead of drive – I’m also getting an extra week here in town all by myself. I’ll miss Mark and the kids and Puppy, but, it will be a nice week – I’ll get the family by myself – won’t have to share them with the kids or Mark. And I’m sure my mom and my sister-in-law and I will have some good girl time together. And I’m hoping I can get some work done around the house for my mom and if I have time, I’d even like to get over to my brother’s house and do some cleaning for them. My kids have been staying there the whole time while Mark and I stay at my mom’s – so I’m sure the kids have done some damage to the state of cleanliness my brother normally enjoys. LOL

I’m such a wimp, I swear. It’s silly, really – I’m just not used to activities all day long. How pathetic. Yeah well, that’s just the way it is. I work at home and I have a inky winky bit of laziness in my chemical makeup. But just a tiny bit. Just telling ya’ll how freakin’ tired I am is actually helping, to tell you the truth! Ha! I’m listening to a guy named Chris Silver Smith right now – what a cool name, eh? And he’s telling all about using images online – cool stuff, really. And you guys have helped me return to a state of listenableness. Thank you.

The image included with this post via Zemanta (thank you Zemanta!) reminds me of the Welcome Sign on I-20 – in front of which I desperately wanted to take a pic of the kids when we drove in, but, was not able to do so. I was so bummed. I really would love a pic of the kids in front of that sign to frame and hang up in my office. I told them maybe we can get someone to do some photoshopping for us.

And you know what else is funny? When we drove across the state line, I realized that I wanted to grab up all of the TEXAS tourist crap that I could and take it home with me! Haha! Like – take Texas home in a box with me – to make me feel better! LOL Good GAWD, I’m gonna be homesick when we get home!!!

And let me tell you – there is an AWESOME degree program that I learned about at UTD yesterday that I’d LOVE to move home and enroll in! It’s such a brainiac school, though – I seriously doubt I’d ever get in. But you never know…..

Ok, I’m gonna just go listen to this groovy guy now. Thanks for listening and making me feel better. You guys are the bomb diggity!!!
