...And Back Home

So I'm back to home sweet home and getting back into the swing of things. I had a great time in Missouri and sold more books at the homeschool conference than I thought I would but not as many as I would have liked. Some of my time was spent sitting at my booth being VERY bored and deciding that I'm not cut out for the job of selling stuff. The rest of my time was spent hanging out with old good friends and not quite as old good friends (including the screaming penguin) and meeting new friends including two wonderful girls from my dear home state (Danya and Mallory)! I also participated in a homeschool graduate panel which was a short workshop where parents could ask homeschool graduates questions. I was pretty nervous to have to talk to a room full of 20 or so parents, public speaking always makes me nervous, but in the end I was glad I did it. All in all I had a great time and look forward to going back in the very near future.

When we got back to our town we met the rest of the family at the park and took a walk around the lake there. I talked my head off to Candace and Hope, who stayed at home, the whole time we walked. In fact we walked around the lake twice and I was the only one who uttered a word the entire time. I think the girls were a little surprised at my blabbering. But, after all, I was on coffee so that explained it. Unfortunately, I'm not on coffee right now so my blog gets the short version.

Today was spent as normal as ever going to work and coming home. I plan to really kick into drawing for the 4th book in the series this week since I now have pictures to work with. I also have a dance recital coming up that I'm not very prepared for SO... I've got a lot to do and a lot to think about these next few weeks. I very much dislike being busy but hopefully, with quite a bit of prayer, I can stay focused on God and not get too overwhelmed.
