I'm back!

Hi everyone!  Oh my gosh, I missed you.  And I missed my Google Reader.  I haven't felt this disconnected in awhile!  I currently have 820 unread posts on my Reader.  I'd have way more...but I've been trying to catch up here and there on my Blackberry.  Whew!  

So, tell me - what's going on?  How are you?  Did I miss anything?  Did I win any great giveaways?  :)  One can only hope...

Speaking of giveaways, I have picked one for my half of the Best of the Midwest Giveaway!  I won't release the name until tomorrow, but I WILL tell you that I am THRILLED with the winner!  This particular bloggie friend is one of my most dedicated readers and commenters.  I can't wait to tell you who it is tomorrow!

In other news...my vacation has truly been fabulous.  I am even ready to go back to work tomorrow!  I think it will feel good to get back in the swing of things.  Anyone else ever feel like that?  

Mr. Smith and I are currently in the basement of the IU Library, using the internet.  Looking forward to getting back to my work computer!  

I hope that everyone has had a great week - I'll start reading and commenting again asap!

Missed you!
