		<description><![CDATA[I will be participating on Saturday in a Read-a-Thon. It&#8217;s 24 hours that you&#8217;re supposed to read as much as possible. Those of you that know me, know that I love to read. I haven&#8217;t been able to read as much as I usually do (I figure I&#8217;ll hit 50 book this year instead of my usual 100).

She wants someone to entertain her. There&#8217;s only so much I can bribe my son with. He likes being alone. My husband [...]]]></description>

This was my 5th conference that I&#8217;ve attended for the virtual assistant industry and I must admit that my reasons for attending have changed.

The first was &#8220;great&#8221; group that a client has asked me several times to go to. It was not too far from me (about 30 minutes I figured) and she endorsed how wonderful it was.
