Day 2 of Conference

Woke up early again.  Didn't have a keynote speaker this morning but I had a session to go to.  The coolest thing about heading over to the convention center was that we walked underground, inside all the way there!  Didn't have to worry about traffic or weird people downtown.  There were shops and cafe places inside as well.

Had some great classes again.  Learned more.  Visited even more vendors but this time I had so much free stuff that my arm felt like it was going to fall off!  Either that or I may have to see a chiropractor again LOL

Tonight my Aunt and Cousin picked me up at the hotel and we went to dinner with my Uncle and my "new" Aunt.  I've been so out of the loop with this side of the family that my Uncle I know has been married now for many years but I have never met her until now.

We went to a Chinese place on the waterfront.  It was quiet there but the food was soooo good.  My Uncle's wife seems really nice.  She is a trustee for University of Oregon and has her own business.  When I mentioned that my brother was thinking of starting his own business in the future, both their ears perked up.  They are enterpreneuers (sp?) that's for sure lol

Got back a little late.  My co-worker came over to stay in my hotel room as her Grandma has been without power for days.  Her Grandma was staying in my co-workers room with her mom.  It was nice to have a little company.

Called my daughter today and she asked "Where are you at now Mommy?"  I told her "Seattle"  "Oh" she says.  I told her I would be coming home in a few days.  She wanted me to come home now = (  I'm glad I have been quite busy so as not to miss her too much but then again, my practical side is telling me there is nothing I can do about it.  I'm here, she's there.  You can cry and mope over it and be miserable or do what you need to do, enjoy your time by yourself and move on.

I got to see the Space Needle up close tonight.  Got a picture.  Wished I would have been able to go up it.  Maybe the next time I get over here.  I told my Aunts, Uncle, and Cousin that I will be bringing Sydney with me next time so we can go to the Aquarium and such.  Let's hope that my financial situation continues as well or better than it has been = D
