Notice a little bit early, but if any of you are going to be at Orycon, do say hi! Especially at my reading at 4 pm on Friday! I think I might be giving something away for that one…and keep in mind, Friday I will be coming in directly from parent conferences. Eiyiyi. So I’ll probably still look teacherish.
