Journey to the Surface of the Sun!

I’m sitting on the airplane 30,000 feet above the Earth as I begin this blog today, and it’s all a little surreal. Ok, not the flying part; I’ve done that before. No, I’m talking about the trip to National Convention. I remember back in July of 2007 when the last Convention passed me by, and I pledged that I would attend in 2009 to ensure that our chapter had somebody in attendance. (A big shout out to Kelly Eidson for covering for us as our delegate two years ago; I’m sure she voted with our best interests in mind. Of course, she was also running for the Board of Trustees then … did she vote for herself?)

((lol! We just flew over a dry lakebed.))

This week is going to be a blur, so hopefully I can capture all the activity here both for your benefit and the benefit of my poor memory. We have so many important decisions to make about the future of the organization, and I’m really looking forward to the passionate discussion.

I just finished reading over the National Officer candidates’ packets. Some of the candidates are definitely leaving something to be desired. I’m not going to post details of my opinions yet until I have the opportunity to meet the different candidates.

Ok, I got to get going, we’re about to begin our final decent. Lucky me, the flight attendant just announced that we’re in for a bumpy landing! Throw your hands in the air like you just don’t care!

Edit: IT’S FREAKING HOT HERE!! What was I thinking!? It is so hot here that they use lead instead of mercury in the thermometers.
