I spent the weekend with a bevy of lovely people at the Aiming Low Non-Conference. It was a nice cozy (non)conference; I think there were only 70 or so attendees. I’d met quite a few people already, so I really didn’t have any anxiety beforehand. Which was a very nice thing.

I didn’t take a lot of notes this weekend, so I don’t have any nuggets of wisdom to pass along to you. But I do want to introduce you to a few of the delightful people I had the chance to meet:

• Vikki at Up Popped a Fox. She radiates fun.

• Faiqa at Native Born. Smart lady. S.m.a.r.t. I’m hoping they let her do a U.S. History session next year.

• Alexandra at Good Day, Regular People. She can see into your soul. (Or maybe that’s just me.)

• Stephanie at Talking is My Primary Function. Live wire, man.

• Neil at Citizen of the Month. I like the way he talks.

• Amiyrah at 4 Hats and Frugal. My strong, beautiful roommate.

• Sarah of Sarah and the Goon Squad. She writes about sports, and when she talks you should listen.

• Jana at Jana’s Thinking Place. I just love her to bits. She’s made of sweetness.

• Suzanne at Kinsey’s Texas Tales. My other strong, beautiful roommate!

And those are just a few of the people I’d never met before! I also got to see and hang out with Julia and Robin, Kelby and Katherine, Heather and Tricia, and Heather and Cecily and Cait. And I know I’m forgetting at least someone, for which I apologize because I’m almost positive that I love that person, too.

Oh, and did I mention this lady?

Yep, that’s Ree Drummond, the Pioneer Woman. I didn’t get to hang out with her, but I did meet her briefly in the lobby. She was the keynote speaker, and she was positively charming.

So I had a really nice weekend, is what I’m saying. I really like these internet people.
