I got back from Reno late Sunday night. The conference was fantastic! No school librarian should ever miss it! It was so exhausting but so worthwhile. Tons and tons of free books. Met lots of new people including my second cousin's daughter's school librarian. What a small world! I stayed at the Circus, Circus casino/hotel. Very nice. but only outlets were in the bathroom. Everything else was hard wired. Reno like the rest of Nevada is a pit. I have no desire to ever go back except on my way to California. One regret is not taking an extra day to see Lake Tahoe.
Everyone seems to have survived without me. I probably missed them more than they missed me, even though Matt missed me running interference between him and his father. Sabrina was happy to see me!
Today is Halloween. This is my least favorite holiday. I don't remember ever liking it as a kid all that much. I don't like giving candy out to parents who dress infants up just so they get free candy. I especially don't like paying bribe money in the form of candy to teenagers who can't bother to dress up. I will see both groups tonight. Matt is going out as a Ninja. Kristen may or may not be going out. She and her friends decided at 4:15 today that they wanted to go trick or treating in different distant lands which involve me transporting her there to make it happen. Not happening with short of notice. All along she has said she does not want to go trick or treating. Bought her a bag of her favorite candy. Somehow her life will go on. She went to the fall festival at church where she got candy.
