Well, I'm back from the Annual Extension Conference. The actual "conference" part left quite a bit to be desired...there were good bits, bad bits, and tedious bits...but it was nice to see other agents and have time to network and share ideas. I will say that I'm ready to be back in the office. Between Master Gardener Conference, being sick last month, and now Annual Conference, I feel like I've been out of the office a long time. I have a lot to do to get several classes ready to go and advertised!

My dress is here! Yay! It was scheduled to ship yesterday, so I was hoping that they were shipping it overnight or something like that. The idea of an expensive dress sitting in a shipping dock or bouncing cross country in a truck for several days was not to my liking. So in the plans for the weekend is going to try on my dress. Hopefully I will then have a better idea about what accessories I need to go with it. I really need to find shoes, too...

Also on the wedding front, I need to start addressing envelopes. And I really need to spend more than a passing thought on what we are doing for reception decorations. Yeah. Really. On the positive side, you can probably look forward to more blog posts as I am looking for a way to procrastinate on wedding details!

Is anyone else ready for the election to be over? Ugh. If only there was a way to make sure all the morons were gone after the election... Unfortunately, it seems unlikely that all the morons will disappear... Ah well. I worked my way through a sample ballot that the Wichita Eagle had available. There are 32 races/issues on my ballot. That's ridiculous. Luckily (or maybe unluckily), about half of those are judge races, and more than half of the judge races are uncontested. That is easier, if perhaps not ideal in all respects.

Anyway, they had semi-helpful bios and answers to questions, which was nice. Although...well...I did say only semi-helpful. I just don't know as much about some of the candidates and races as I would like to. I think that takes time when you live in a new location.

Hmm....I know I had other extremely interesting things to say, but they have slipped my mind. Ah well. I expect you'll all be able to wait until next time I write.
