    Oh hai. Is this thing on?

    I swear, between the big anticipated book launch party,Veteran’s Day being a holiday and me being me (who regularly screws her head on backwards), this week has gone by faster than a bat out of hell. Faster than a dried out lizard on the back of a motorcycle racing through the desert. Faster than free concert tickets to that crazy sold out music show they’re always going on and on about on your local pop station. Faster than, I don’t know! I am not the brilliant simile writer! It’s just been fast.

    I think I am officially old. Weeks seem like two days. Years seem like a six months. An hour seems like twenty minutes. I think my sense of time has officially been halved.  I think I need to take another trip to the lake without wifi or a phone and be forced to go fishing for a week. Seriously.

    So just like all my emails I’ve written to all of my poor neglected clients this week, I just want to pop in and say: Hi! I’m still here. I’m still working on your stuff. Have no fear, great things are happening. I’m just running a little behind schedule. Like about a week.

    Let’s Do This!

    We are so ready for this party!  Posters are made, playlist is burning to a cd, macarons have been ordered (salted caramel, passion fruit, lemon, almond and raspberry!).  They are SO good! I can’t wait for everyone to try one.  The giant Eiffel Tower has been assembled, thanks to my Dad and brother arriving. Yes! My brother is in town. He’s part of a big surprise for the party so stay tuned.  Now we just wait for the books to arrive. Wait, what? The books aren’t here yet? No, they are not. But I have been assured by my trusty publisher that they will arrive just in time. Cross your fingers and say a prayer for me!

    Tomorrow (or today since I’m getting this post up so late) is a BIG day!!

    I’ve got some really great bloggers set to review the book. I’ll link them here tomorrow, if I’m not running around too crazy. Otherwise stay tuned on instagram and facebook and tell everyone you know to go buy my book!  Woohoo!

    UPDATE: The reviews are trickling in:
