Last week just flew by--I worked on (and finished--yay!) the copyedits for Bloom, went to New York to see my agent and go to Simon & Schuster with her, where we saw my amazing editor, Jennifer, and I got to meet the Editorial Director and also Michelle Nagler, who is so sweet (she gave me an ARC of Robin Wasserman's Sloth which is *fabulous*--I love the Seven Deadly Sins series!), and had my friend Jess come to visit. I had a picture of the two of us, taken with Jess's phone (since mine's main feature is the amazing draining battery!), but I can't get it to upload properly so you'll just have to pretend you can see it. Jess is the cute one with dark hair, and I'm the very pale one.

It was great to have Jess visit because we went to about six zillion bookstores and the National Museum of the American Indian and also watched all the best episodes of Relativity. And also because she's one of my best friends and a totally amazing person PLUS she made a huge fuss over my dog, who was all disappointed after Jess left because you all know how my dog is when it comes to attention.
