{sigh}

It's Monday. It's rather grey outside today and I'm tired. I would love to just go back to bed. But I have a meeting to get ready for and much to accomplish today. Sometimes you just have to light a fire under yourself, you know? I managed to drag myself out early this morning to write my very first guest post for Mamikaze. While I was hoping to meet Astacia in person this week at the type-a-mom conference, I will settle quite happily for a guest spot on her blog (more details about the guest post as it runs later this week). I admit I am feeling a little sad-sack about not going to the conference. But it's a busy week; I won't be bored. Plus I have a birthday coming up in a few days so that's giving this week a little extra sparkle. I'm turning 21 for the second time which feels rather momentous. And tomorrow is the first day of fall; clearly I am looking for any excuse to make myself smile. :-)

I will *not* be bringing it after all

I am really bummed to report that I will not be heading to the Type-A Mom conference in Asheville, NC this month as I'd hoped. I bought my ticket early and had big plans to go but several things have come up that prevent me from going. There's still time to get your ticket though if you'd like to be a part of it. It's going to be a great conference with some very talented speakers and tons of networking opportunities. I'm sorry that I won't be meeting all of you awesome type-a ladies in person. There's always next year...
