Blogger Buffet

Next to eating, my favorite thing to do is TALK and BLOG so this weekend it was the best of all worlds. Saturday evening I made a pilgrimage to the California Kindergarten Association's annual conference to meet up with all my NEW BBFF's... Blogging Best Friends Forever (so says Dr. Jean!)

From the left: that's Cindy from For The Love Of Kindergarten. Cindy is smart and thoughtful with many great insights about Kindergarten students. Next is Stacey and she doesn't blog but claims she is a Blog Stalker so we loved her immediately. That's me in the red sleeves next to Jennifer who is just darling and obviously loves her job teaching K at a private Catholic school (oh! the flexibility!) Next is Camille from An Open Door. Camille is currently teaching a K - 1 combo so of course I have overwhelming respect for her. We had a good time not listening chatting together at the last session on TK. Do you recognize that sparkly lady in the blue dress?! None other than Fran Kramer and it was so amazing to meet her. She made me feel so welcome and let me tell you people she is FUNNY and smart and magnetic. (Insert blogger envy icon here.) Last but not least another celebrity, Heidi from Heidisongs kept us impressed with tales of teaching, blogging, doing family stuff and running her own business. Wow! She's got it all.

We ate and talked and LAUGHED and ATE and LAUGHED and then the waiter brought us gratis doughnuts (!!!) and we talked some more. It was an unforgettable night and I am forever grateful that I am a part of this Kindergarten blogger world.

Today's agenda includes scooping horse poop and reading up on some new Math center ideas. Yeah it's just one glamorous day after another.
