I've only been to two sessions so far, but they were both information-rich. And each session was 90 minutes long, which is a bit beyond my attention span. But I'm trying to let it all sink in because I really need help on my job, and this conference is what will help me.
But on to money matters...
First of all -- free internet access because I belong to Hilton's HHonor Club. Yea!
And I won $1 at a vendor's booth. Got a free breakfast and lunch today and free Sun Chips and hummus at the Farmer's Market.
And, I found two pennies.
But I'm spending. I stopped for gas twice on the trip and spent $61. I also stopped for breakfast and lunch. I spent $8 at the Stockholm Inn in Rockford, Illinois. I got my Swedish pancakes and sausage. For lunch I stopped at Culver's and got a double cheeseburger for $6. The cheeseburger made me too full to stop at Nordske Nook for pie, so I guess that was a good thing.
Last night there was a welcome reception with hors d'oeuvres, so I made that my dinner. I even got a free glass of wine.
Tonight I went out to dinner with other attendees from my state. We went to a restaurant called The News Room, and I had coconut shrimp for $22. Quite a big serving, and very good.
And tomorrow I'm going out to lunch with Ceejay, as she already told you! I can hardly wait!
My head is whirling!

If you were at the Culver's in Tomah, that's our usual stop!
