I went to my dear friend, Poonam's going away party last night. She is leaving on Monday to get her MBA at Wharton. That's in Phillie. I haven't been to Philadelphia since I was a little kid. Now I have an excuse to go. Plus I can't live without Poonam for very long. I'll wither up and die.
Poonam also had very exciting news. Her agent called on Friday. Red Dress Ink is going to make her an offer on her first novel. Isn't that SO WONDERFUL and AMAZING?! She's going to get the call on Monday -- tomorrow! -- the same day she flies to grad school.
I am SO thrilled for her. It was just a year ago that we were meeting in restaurants and coffee shops, editing each other's manuscripts. I can't wait to read her book. Poonam Sharma. Remember that name. She is going to be HUGE! A famous bestselling author!
We also said goodbye to JP this week. He is moving to Manhattan. We will miss him here, but I'm sure he's gonna love it.
In other news, they gave me a Powerbook at work on Friday so I was finally able to download all my photos from my camera.
So here are my latest photo albums:
My Garden My Birthday (4th of July) in NYC I'm off to Chicago this afternoon, for a quick business trip. It's a really, really exciting project. (I'll tell you more about it later.) Plus I just love business trips. Did I mention how much I LOVE my new job? Gotta go water the garden and pack now!
