Phew!<br /><br />I'm in revisions, which I think must be like the stage where the 17-year-old roller coaster worker jiggles the seat belt to make sure it's locked. Sending out queries is the long, slow rise to the top. The waiting, getting rejected, and waiting are the drop and loop-de-loos.<br /><br />Thank goodness I like roller coasters.Tracey Neithercotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16539278941411542797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3122888753760790051.post-38235003650936734352011-01-31T13:50:39.296-06:002011-01-31T13:50:39.296-06:00Congratulations on hitting send!
