Actually, I can't even call myself a blogger because I NEVER WRITE!

I just looked up and realized it's been, like, over five months since I've posted a blog entry. Whoa, where have I been? And why am I such a blog-absentee (blabsentee?). Well, here goes:

1. I've been working on my new novel. I LOVE IT. More on that soon. (Funny, some characters in my novel are bloggers and THEY keep up). Oh, well.

2. I've been trying to cook more. It just feels good, you know? I'm a vegetarian, so I've become obsessed with roasting vegetables. I seriously think my roasted vegetables rock.

3. I've been spending quality time with my husband and son. We went on a vacation recently. We go for walks. We go out to eat. We bond. They beg for non-roasted vegetables.

4. I've been reading. Yes, reading. I was asked to be a judge for this year's National Book Award!!! For the young people's literature category, of course. Between now and September I'll be reading about 250 books. My head spins with the math (250? 250?) but I'm actually having a blast with the reading.

So there's my teeny little update. Hopefully it won't take me five months to write another.

Love,
Carolyn
