Ever have one of those weeks?

I gotta say, the whole back-to-back deadlines thing is... well... EXHAUSTING. 
It's partially my fault. I let my husband book a vacation at the beginning of the year--before my book sold and I knew anything about deadlines and whatnot--and the trip officially has THE WORST TIMING EVER. So I'm scrambling, trying to get everything done before I leave on Friday and, well... 

So, *heavy sigh* I think I have to duck away from blogging again. Probably until Monday, November 14th, when I get back.

I'M SO SORRY! 
I'm so going to miss you guys. But I'm crashing and burning here so... it has to be done. I may pop in if something important comes up--or if I suffer too many blogging withdrawls. (And I still have some winners to post--I'll make sure I don't miss that).

Otherwise I'll see you guys in about a week and a half. And I promise I'll be back with a contest or something to reward you for  your long-suffering when I get back!

Have a great time without me!!!!
