I spent the last three days attending CPAC--a huge conference for conservatives. I was able to see a lot of people and check out some job opportunities in DC (sorry Dad). I heard Sen. Marco Rubio (by far the best speaker), Mitch McConnell, Gov. Rick Perry Rep. John Boehner, and Rick Santorum speak. I also went to a workshop on resume writing and the job fair. I gave out a couple of resumes to think-tanks in DC and to the Santorum team if they are still around in May. The highlight on Saturday was seeing people flock to a Sarah Palin impersonator. Apparently she does this for a living...crazy that people actually pay here to pretend to be Sarah Palin! Overall, I had a great time!
I've also been nannying this week while Pam is in Atlanta. Kate and Taylor have been great; we've been managing just fine, but I've developed a new appreciation for working moms! I definitively went to bed tired every night this week!
Funny story of the week: (Michael and Andy will appreciate this) Last night Taylor (8th grader) had 4 friends over (so we have 5 8th grade boys). Pam ordered pizza for them, but apparently they got hungry before the pizza arrived, so they made their own. They ate 4 personal pan pizzas and then 2 large pizzas when the pizza did arrive! I don't understand where it all goes! Needless to say we have a stack of pizza boxes in the kitchen almost a mile high.
Its currently snowing here and feels like winter for the first time since I got here. I'm spending the night with fellow interns Caitlin and Laura tonight and avoiding driving on slippery roads with inexperienced winter drivers :)
In other news...I just filed my taxes myself for the first time and I think I'll be getting a substantial check from the federal government. Thank-you President Obama...this is definitely the best thing you've done for me all week!

Wow, Dani! Are you on conservative overload??! Rick Perry?? Still, I am sure it was a good opportunity. We have been having snow as well two storms almost back to back. Lots of moisture which we really needed. We zipped over to Cheyenne late this afternoon and upon our return there was so much fog on the south side of town we couldn't even see 1/2 block ahead of us. And it is always good to walk a mile in others shoes...the mothers of the family thank you for the acknowlegement. Love ya!
