Yay! I am late because on Friday when I read this I was sad. Which is selfish I know. I love Fridays and Tuesdays. Besides I want to know if you will get through your must read list of 2007. Which I haven’t started on the Arsonist’s Guide, yet…but have added the Stephen King and Piccoult’s 19 Minutes.
My nice thing this week? I stayed howm Wednesday night, skipped a meeting and crawled into bed to read. Lights out before 9 PM and 8 blissful hours of sleep.
I agree with Dylan, the Internet is very distracting! Have a great week.

Oh… Ok…*sobs* lol no really it’s ok. We’ll miss you but I think your making the right choice. There’s just to much fun stuff on the internet not to get destracted! Have a good Thanksgiving! and good luck with your too books I’m sure we all hope to hear more about in the very near future!

I tried to take it easy this week. Tried.

And Tuesdays, ’cause we know you’ll still be reading and even if not, we know you want to know what WE are reading.

Okay, okay, Fridays it is.

Because I can’t go cold turkey, either.

We’ll all still be here when your revisions are done, Robin.

I can’t think of any particularly difficult decisions I made this week to be good to myself. About the best thing I did this week was take myself out to breakfast after dropping Lucas off at school and before I went to work one morning. I needed a little chill time, and I think everyone was better off for me taking it.

Good luck, Robin. It sounds, though, as if one book will not ever be sold because the other one is–do I have it right? Come visit when you can…Fridays are good. That is what I have decided to do with my blog (although once a week is an improvement for me.)

The nice thing I did was to start my Christmas shopping. I think I found the perfect gift for my grandson with autism, who is hard to buy for. He loves non-fiction and learning about things, so I bought him a subscription to Kids Discover.

But… but… wah!

Was it something I said? Is it because I’ve not been commenting enough? Tell me, Robin, tell me what it was I did that made you decide to put your blog on vacation, and I will fix it!

Oh, right, it’s because we’re all so entertaining that you need to stop for awhile. Phooey. How about if we’re all a little less fun?

Okay, fine. Go on vacation. I look forward to reading your new books when they come out. We’ll miss you. I wouldn’t mind a specific return date, though, because I’m secretly worried you’re going to put your blog in deep storage.

Wowza. Two? I can understand this decision for sure. I, for one, hope you keep up with Fridays though, if for no other reason than to remind you that there are others beyond the computer screen, and they’re your readers. I think keeping that connection strong could be just as important to you as taking a huge chunk of time away from it. Just my two cents.

Besides, I just prescribed the Friday List as a cure for one of my girlfriends.
