I made it!
Originally uploaded by LSRN94.

The three hour flight from Milwaukee to Houston was a nail biter the whole way. You know the kind of turbulance that lifts your ass a foot off your seat? Yep - I had three straight hours of that, with no let up.

But I’m here — all checked in and signed up for the conference and am rarin’ to go.

Since I arrived pretty early (yesterday) - I took the opportunity to hit the shopping malls in Austin. What kind of girl would I be if I didn’t, I ask? The weather here is GORGEOUS! Hmm.. Wisconsin, who?

Being down here ala carte (all by myself) and not knowing a SOUL in sight, this will make socializing a bit of a challenge. Slow but sure, I’m getting into that conference state of mind, though - - it’s kind of hard NOT to catch on to the friendly and easy going spirit down here in Austin this weekend.

Tomorrow is the BIG day - our panel starts at 3pm. Last minute homework to do tonight to prepare. I’ll let ya know how it goes!

    I’m glad you made it there. The turbulence didn’t help your flight fears one bit, I’m sure. I hope your panel went well, I’ve been thinkin’ of you.

    And, hey, looky! There’s a stranger that commented first on this post. ^:)^ Hi Astro!

    Hey Jeanette! Yeah, it’s been busy, busy, busy lately, but I have thought about stopping by your blog at least to see what you’ve got your hair stuck in now… :d
