I posted on the Diary of a Late Bloomer facebook page the other day that I had fallen and couldn't get up.  Remember that silly commercial from the 80s?

&nbsp;

It's really not all that dramatic.  I've simply fallen way, waaayyyyyy behind in blog posts.  Sis in town and World Domination Summit in combination with Work, Life, Blog and Puppy make writing and posting once a day a bit of an impossibility time-wise.

&nbsp;

I realize that I am not the center of the Universe, so I need to just get over myself and catch up.  It will be good practice for me to be short and sweet for a change.  Starting Monday, expect 2 posts a day until we are back on schedule.  Hurrah!

&nbsp;

<span style="font-size: medium; color: #800080;"><strong>Day 251 was Summer Camp for Grown Ups aka The World Domination Summit. </strong></span><span style="font-size: medium; color: #800080;"><strong>fun, Fun, FUN! </strong></span>

&nbsp;

Have you ever been inside the Apple Store?  All the employees are exceptionally perky because they partake of the Magic Apple Kool-Aid.  Everything is wonderful.  Everything is groovy.  Everything is grand because Apple rules the Universe, and whoa -- aren't we lucky to be part of such a cool cult?

&nbsp;

Take the Apple Store scenario and put it on steroids.  THAT, my friends, was the general mojo of The World Domination Summit.

&nbsp;

The WDS Kool-Aid was just as yummy and just as addictive as Apple's.  May I have some more, please?  (Why, yes, I will in 2012!  Want to come with me?)

&nbsp;

<span style="color: #800080;">Thought-provoking, out-of-the-box speakers who blazed their own trails and encourage/teach others to the same: </span>

<span style="color: #800080;">Farmer's Market a block away for lunch (Yes, it's always about the food for me.)</span>

<span style="color: #800080;">Speaking of which, free food and coffee/tea at the Museum for Snack Time</span>

<span style="color: #800080;">Speaking of which, how amazing is Chris Guillebeau for choosing the Portland Art Museum for this conference?!?!  What a setting!</span>

<span style="color: #800080;">New Friends</span>

<span style="color: #800080;">The Sweet Tooth Tour after hours (Yes, it's always about the food.)</span>
