I feel like I keep ditching you guys, and I'm sorry for that, but I'm really excited because I'm heading off on a cruise with the husband tomorrow! We're heading off to Los Angeles today to get to the port, and we're heading off on Norwegian for a little getaway before he heads off for specialized Army training in about 2 months. 

Because of high internet and roaming charges, neither Ryan nor I have any desire to pay all the fees, so we're going to spend this vacation unplugged. To any authors, publishers, etc that I have committed reviews to - everything will be posted according to schedule upon my return…thanks for your patience!

So, if you need me through March 30th, I'll either be:

A) swimming with dolphins in Mazatlan

B) learning to make salsa and salsa dance in Cabo

C) going zip lining and walking above the tree canopy in Puerto Vallarta

Or, of course, you know…overindulging on the ship :)

I'll miss all your beautiful faces, but I'll be back in the swing of things on Monday, March 31st!

So, I've been a fail blogger lately, but I PROMISE I have an excuse. Most importantly though, I am back! I had planned to take my hiatus until August 1st, but I'm feeling ready to dive back in. I will be overloading this lil' blog with reviews and features in the coming weeks to catch back up, but here are my excuses for being MIA.

A) I had a self-imposed timeframe in which I had to finish my manuscript revisions and submit RACE. The process has begun. Oh joy.

B) I've been working on a career change, and I'm SO excited to say I'm heading over to World Travel Holdings on August 6th!

C) I moved right before BEA, and I never really had a chance to settle into the new apartment. It's still a work in progress.

D) I've been busy having my a$s handed to me at CrossFit Free every single day so that I can be strong enough to compete. Proof? See below.

Regardless, I'm back. I'll have my regular Waiting on Wednesday post tomorrow, and I'll be back on track with reviews and such, too! Missed all your sweet faces.

Hi kiddos! I know, I know...I said I was back, but I left again. Here's the dealio...lots of things are happening around the holiday season, and I was just too swamped to jump right back in. That said, I WILL BE BACK on January 2, 2012. Be ready. I'll be better than ever, obviously.

In the meantime, here are some updates on life and why I'm not blogging:

Christmas was amazing. It snowed!

I'm going to NYC for New Year's Eve for some quality family time with my two sisters, my love, my brother-in-law and his two siblings.

I got engaged!!! It's true. I'm getting married!

Eep! Ok, I'll be back on 2/2/12.

Love.

I know I've been absent this past week, and I apologize immensely to all my incredibly devoted and loyal readers. I have taken a self-induced hiatus for the week because of the amount of stress I'm under this week, and it's been much needed.

Why so much stress, you ask? Well, sufficed to say, I received an incredible job offer this past week. Trust me...when I tell you that it's one-of-a-kind, I mean it. However, there are definite drawbacks to it, as well, and I've had a really hard time weighing the pros and cons. I need a decision by the end of next week, but I'm getting there.

Anyhoo, my message to you is...never fear! I'll resume normal posting this Monday with my review of Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi, and I'll be back on track, no matter my decision. Thank you so much for all your patience. Love you all!
