#jolabokaflod! It took them until 10 pm to fall asleep. The book about Grace Hopper is adorable — easily the equal to the one about Margaret Hamilton I got for the moon landing. I couldn‘t resist getting _Olivia_ for Clee when I read, “you really wear me out, but I love you anyway.”
Whew, I'm home from the Grace Hopper Conference and I am POOPED you guys. It was fun but my voice is completely gone from talking to a gazillion people at our booth and I didn't even have the energy to read on the plane (😭). Doubt I'll make it out of the house this weekend, which could be a good thing for my #TBR after I've had a good night's sleep 😴
I'm in Houston for the Grace Hopper Conference this week - check out our Google booth! Always excited about an opportunity to celebrate women in tech 🙌🏽
pickInspiring. I loved her quotes spattered throughout the book, the one pictures above being my favorite. Also, I learned why things that mess up computers are called bugs! At first I thought it would be too long for my kids but now I'm definitely sharing it with my 5yo.
