No Hawaii for me :(

So in one week many of my friends and colleagues will be headed to Hawaii for the annual Medical Library association Meeting. I will not be one of them (but I am not bitter). I am sad I will miss it but am looking forward to next year's meeting being in DC and being a part of its planning (hint, hint, Janice Kelly).

While they are jetting off to sunny HI a co-worker and I will be heading to Ocean City, MD for 2 days to attend and participate in the Maryland Library Association. This will be my first time attending this meeting since I moved to Maryland in August 2006. I will actually be an attendee rather than an exhibitor. I am hoping this will give me a better chance to mingle with the librarians and create new relationships that will foster new collaborative efforts professionally.

With all this happening I and my family are on baby watch. My sisters due date is not officially until May 30th but it seems her BP is on the rise so we are waiting until Thursday afternoon to see what the Dr.'s say. They may tell her to stop working early but to just go home and relax, they may tell her to go about what she has been doing the last couple of weeks (since her BP starting rising), OR they may admit her to the hospital and decide they want to induce labor so there is no more stress on Stacey or the baby. So, for all I know, all of my plans may be foiled. We shall see.

Work is going well. April was a very busy month for me. 5 outreach events in 5 weeks!!!! It doesn't sound like much but I was pooped!!! After it was over I headed to Boston for 4 days to visit my sister and have her baby shower. There was no rest for the wary ;) May is a much slower month with two events both this week and then the conference the week after.

Thanks for reading and I will post more again soon. XOXOXO
