I know, I know, I've been a bit remiss in updating my blog. Let's just say that between moving, being attacked by killer bees while moving, a conference for work, volunteering for a political campaign, family drama and my alter ego having a deadline this month, life's been a bit crazy.

Actually, crazy might be an understatement.

At least, though, I'm fully moved in to my new apartment. Granted, when I say "fully" that means my stuff is in there. As of right now, the only thing I've really unpacked is clothing and shoes. Hey, a girl's gotta unpack the important things first, right? Last night, though, I just stood in my new living room, looking at all the boxes around me, and had no clue where to begin. So I picked up the latest Maggie Shayne and watched How I Met Your Mother and The Big Bang Theory.

Hey, I think I deserve at least a little bit of relaxation--conferences can be physically and mentally draining. Plus, there's that whole allergic reaction to the bee sting thing.

I'll get back to the agent search blogs as soon as I can--I promise. As of right now, the same two agents are still looking at my partial (unless something got shuffled in the mail during the move), I have a list of the next five to query, and a mom who keeps getting onto me and asking, "When are you going to get that one published?" (Funnily enough, my mom thinks Big Girls Need Love Too is more "self help novel" than "romance/women's fiction novel." I like to call it humorous women's fiction with a large dose of romance and a heroine who is most definitely a survivor. *g*)

To be honest, though, I don't see my life calming down much until after October 23rd (my alter ego's deadline), and then I'll probably be heavily involved in the last-minute push to get out the vote.

However, you can still keep up with me via my Twitter feed. I have the little patch just over there to the left, or you can find me at http://twitter.com/chicklitter.

Cheers!
