I have not been eaten by a bear.

I have not fallen into the toilet and been swept away to live my life among the crocodiles in the sewer.

I have not been trampled to death by ferocious shoppers at a 90% off shoe clearance sale.

I have not lapsed into an alcoholic coma.

I have not gone into the Witness Protection Program, or joined a cult, or been abducted by aliens.

I have not gotten shot, maimed, knocked up or knocked out.  I did get burned while ironing a shirt, but it only hurt for about an hour, thanks to the wonder of fresh aloe leaves.

So what have I been doing?  Working 55 hour weeks, mostly, which leaves me no time to write.  Well, technically there are a few hours a day during which I'm not either asleep or working, but in that time I have to do things like shower and eat and hang out with my kid and watch "Hell's Kitchen."

I can't promise when I'll write again; the next month and a half look to be even more insane than the last six weeks, and that's saying something.  But I am alive, and I am checking gmail, and I like it when you say hello.

And I'll be back.  Sooner or later, I'll be back.

Thanks for checking in. I've been wondering how you've been. I imagined you must be VERY busy. Take care, lovey love!

No bear, but you sure look fabulo.us in the pages of Women's Fitness. Who knew that a January/February issue could arrive so late? (Yeah, I know -- it's "summer 2008" now.)

Just stopping by to tell you I've been thinking about you. Hope all is well and happy in Summer-land!
