Okay, enough whining on my part: I guess what I'm wanting to say is that she's coming back, hopefully next week, but at this point my schedule's so up in the air I'm giving no guarantees (especially since my past guarantees have been, umm, well, let's just say "not faithfully executed.")
Fear not, fellow Treasure Hunters - She will return!*
*unless the Manicotti get to me first ;)
