i took most of the day off today. i had a great lunch with Jennie and Crystal at Amerigo’s and then went into the office for a cursory glance at the damage of being out of pocket for three days.
the conference was, well, i’m almost not sure what words to use. it was exhausting work, even with all the incredible help i had. the whole thing made my head hurt a few times. but it turned out way better than i could have even hoped.
even if this is what i felt like most of the time:

I really hope I get to go to the conference next year…it just wouldn’t be right if i couldn’t go to the 10th anniversary party!
but i’m not. it’s the story of my life. or am i asleep when i should be awake? whichever, i’m tired.
naaco conference is in town. people showing up tomorrow. still much to do. will be glad when it’s over, but it should be fun 
going off to knit now. will talk about goo goo clusters and standard candy company later. will also begin to add subjects to sentences again soon too.
evan’s little friend olivia was telling me that her great-grandfather was 98 years old. Evan looked at her and said that his own grandfather was so old that he was almost dead. that sounds really bad, but i saw the humor in it and the 6 year old perspective. i even think my grandfather would get a chuckle out of it
we’ve had a pretty low-key valentine’s day. we decided not to buy anything for each other and we just went to see a movie instead. We saw Coraline, and what a fabulous movie that was! If you’re going to see it, please see it in 3D for your own good. It’s not the normal, schmaltzy 3D, it’s depth and layers and atmosphere. The story is engaging. We had the best seats in the theatre and the place really filled up by the time the movie started. the previews (move before time) were incredibly long.
The boy is still at my mom’s house and will stay through Monday afternoon. There’s no school on Monday so he’s going to stay up on the mountain. I sometimes suspect that he likes it better up there than here at home. it’s not like he’s not up there enough or anything. and he comes home with just more and more stuff. for having to pinch pennies, my mom always finds a way to buy him a happy meal and some new Lego set.
Tomorrow will be a work day. some work around the house. conference work and some knitting thrown in for good measure. always some knitting thrown in these days.
to have a president that can give seven minute coherent answers to questions at a press conference?
is boring. i never watch it. i’m not sure what led me to watch it tonight. but i’m going to change the channel now and find something else to do. maybe knit.
evan asked rob today about a certain gesture…and showed rob the bird and asked what it meant. before rob could explain, evan told rob that when people did it they were mad at god.
