• I am surprised (had to look that dang word up – I hate when my brain forgets spellings) that I fell asleep as quickly as I did last night. Exciting things are occurring in the coming days (it’s like the kid-before-Christmas)… I get to see my sister and kittycat later today, I get to see friends/significant other tonight, and then I fly to Nashville tomorrow morning for NCTE. Yes, it’s another weekend of being geeky. And instead of just a few college teachers & graduate students, this conference is HUGE and is for all sorts of English teachers. I am fairly certain this will be the largest conference I have been to yet. Well, as far as teacherly conferences go. The PCA/ACA is huge as well, but they have a mixture of teachers and others.

  Needless to say, I am excited. And I packed well last night. I have a massive suitcase for checking (the mid-sized suitcase no longer has wheels or a handle; the luggage was given to me for high school graduation – no wonder!) and then ONE carry-on. Yes, the girl who adores big bags is just bringing a teeny across-the-body purse and a zippered briefcase-y thing for her carry-on. Amazing. I was shocked as well. Now that I have the iPod, the iBook can stay at home and hibernate.

  I think I just need some cash and a disposable camera. Until next week… happy blogging.
  [p.s. I may have lunch with Mrs. Huertero at NCTE!]
