A Whole Week!

Eep!

It has been more than a week since I last posted...which is just plain unacceptable.

I spent Sunday-Thursday in my great home state of Rhode Island, visiting friends and family--especially my friend Brendan, who was on leave from Afghanistan.

Since I have to be at work in 30 minutes, I can't do a full-on recap right now, but let's just say it was pretty great to see all my loved ones.

More posting later. I pinky promise.

The Passage: The Next Installment

...will be posted tomorrow. Sorry Parker.

Since I am short on time (work and such) and have been in Chicago all weekend, I have neglected my Passage update. I pinky promise that you awaiting readers out there will have your next installment tomorrow.

Until then, a preview of another project I'm working on...

Apologies

So Blogosphere, it's been a couple days.

Where have I been?

Not here.

But why?

Here's the list of reasons behind your neglect:

1. The man's birthday. Since I am someone who thinks celebrating birthdays is uber important, we have been meeting friends, having bonfires, sharing drinks, etc. for the last couple days. His birthday is also behind reason #2.

2. Painting Bill Murray. As I explained in my post about my Etsy account, I have begun a ritual of painting one of Mark's idols on a canvas every year and giving it as a present. This year: Bill Murray. And true to Bill Murray and the characters he plays, he is proven to be slightly difficult.

3. Desperately trying to finish my current book, Signora da Vinci by Robin Maxwell, so I can move onto Parker and I's book club book, The Passage.

4. Working. Yep, that's right. I let work get in the way of my blogging. How terrible am I!

5. Life. It has a funny way of interrupting itself.


So hopefully, tonight or tomorrow I will have finished the painting, the book and be home from work, in time for a real post. No promises though.
