This humidity has got my hair doing fabulous things. \u00a0I had my first Uber ride! I know, I&#8217;m super late on that. Ok, secret confession, I have not met up with any of my colleagues yet, and that will happen soon enough, but for now, EVERYONE I see is suspect. I look at everyone and wonder who is here for the conference and who is just here? \u00a0I&#8217;m eyeballing \u00a0library types or bookish types or folks wearing glasses or&#8230;I know, bad, but fun. \u00a0Someone did rattle the handle to my hotel room door in the wee hours. That was strange, and I got to use my best scary voice (the one I use during #Halloween story time) and watched thru the peephole as they scampered off. \u00a0Ok next post will have more to do with actual conference experiences, I think.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yes, she did.
