Good morning everyone. Even with a good night’s sleep last night (since no one told me where the good parties were–heh), I feel like the dirt ground into the bottom of your shoe. The dirt with shin splints. LOTS of standing endlessly, which as a fat girl, blows.
Anyone, I’m here at the keynote not really listening because my caffeine hasn’t kicked in yet, but I realized there is something I’ve forgotten to say about the conference so far. I’ve not mentioned how unbelievably inspiring this all is. I haven’t been around so much positive female energy in a long, long time, and I can’t get over how BUZZED I feel with all the positive vibes going on around here. Everyone I meet is awesome–I mean it, EVERYONE–and I can’t get over the power and strength of some of these women.
It’s like going to a spiritual retreat, except everyone swears.
I am having a blast. Thank you all again for sending me. I love you all with that gushy, silly love that comes when you haven’t slept and yesterday met your Sesame Street hero. It’s an enduring love, I promise.

LOL! That’s my favorite kind of love Cecily- glad you’re having a great time!
That is exactly how I felt Friday night. I had totally forgotten what it was like to be in a nearly all women environment, and it was like being lifted up by a wave. My college was 60% women, and my major was 90% women, and I went to lots of women’s studies conferences during that era. No wonder I was so fired up all the time. I’m so glad you got teh opportunity to do this.
Now you’re making me wish I’d bought a ticket. :<
Seriously, it sounds WONDERFUL for you, Cecily. I am so glad!
Okay. that’s IT! I am so damn jealous. I am going to have to start my own blog and then I can go next year.
Glad you are enjoying this so much1 It sounds like this is just the experience you needed.
It is fun to read about how much fun you’re having in my city. I’m outrageously happy for you.
Catching up as usual… :P
“Buzzed” is really coming through on these posts! I’m feeling total vicarious excitement.
