Love the networking and camaraderie opportunities. Hate it if they feel left out or if there's a sense that a conference is more important than the drama of real life.<br /><br />I get the yin and yang of that. After all, I survived high school! ;)<br /><br />But there is a significant energy here, and not just because of the high estrogen content in the conference rooms.<br /><br />Fresh ideas and possibilities and opportunities abound. A change of scenery and a time out from the obligations of daily motherhood and <a href="http://punditmom1.blogspot.com/2008/06/punditmoms-27-election-revolution.html">punditry</a> can be inspiring, and for me that's what it's been.<br /><br />I've got some fresh ideas, am energized by the opportunities and a little scared of the amount of work that lies ahead for some of the projects I have percolating in my head. Plus, I'm excited about the meeting one of <a href="http://www.rago.nl/sesamstraat/%7Eimages/grover.jpg">my favorite celebrities</a> of all time!<br /><br />Not to mention how much work the <a href="http://momocrats.typepad.com/">MOMocrats</a> have to do between now and the end of August to get ready for the Democratic National Convention.<br /><br />I realize this is just a bunch of vague ramblings, but that's all I've got at the moment. I do want to tell you about the session with the representatives of the McCain and Obama campaigns, but I want to write something that reflects something more than reiterating their talking points.<br /><br />After all, that's what a PunditMom does, right??PunditMomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12919969826505761593noreply@blogger.com
