I'm training for a marathon!
Captain's Log, Stardate 07.14.2010

For all you wonderful folks on my Street Team, here's a special challenge for you this week!
The first TWO people who email me a picture of a person they gave my bookmark(s) to get one of two pretty Japanese fan magnets:
I got them from this cute shop in San Jose Japantown whose name I can't remember anymore. LOL Actually, you can thank my mom for them because I was going to buy them but she insisted on buying them for me. So, thanks Mom!

What I'm bringing to the ACFW Conference
Captain's Log, Stardate 07.08.2010
The highlight of my year is always the ACFW conference in September. It's my favorite conference for so many reasons, some of which are:
1) the friends I get to see there
2) the industry professionals I get to meet
3) the workshops
4) the nice hotel (I am SO not a "roughing it" girl. I need room service.)
I'm terrible at forgetting what to bring every year, so this year I figured I'd make a list. And I also thought it might be a useful list for other peop...
