YES, that means I have officially SENT OFF MY REVISION and can emerge at least partway from my self-imposed hermitude. Of course, now I have to catch up on all the other stuff I&#8217;ve been neglecting (including some book reviews which I desperately owe you) but at least I can check one huge thing off my to-do list.<\/p>\n<p>(Speaking of to-do lists&#8230;have you ever done something that wasn&#8217;t on the list, then gone back and ADDED it to the list, just so you could have the satisfaction of crossing it off? I totally have.)<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I&#8217;m feeling just a tad bit brain-dead at the moment, so I&#8217;m just going to leave you with a few links&#8211;not to mention an invitation to my virtual &#8220;Adios, Revision!&#8221; Celebration Party. (Sadly, it will be virtual even for me, until I get a few more things done&#8230;and most likely, there will be more edits to come later, but hopefully nothing big.) Cheers and pie!

But sometimes it takes us a long time to figure out who<br \/>\nthose authors are.<br \/>\nI created this blog in hopes of making that process go more smoothly.&#8221; As someone who has always had a spooky side, I wholeheartedly approve.
