It's great to back online! Taking a break from all things computer has its definite advantages, and it was nice to spend three weeks tooling around France, completely unplugged. But I missed all my cyber buddies SO much!
Yesterday, during breaks from unpacking, I read through all your wonderful comments on the posts during my absence. You are all so warm, funny, and truly awesome! Thanks for your kind words and friendly messages. You rock!!
As you can imagine, I'm in the process of getting caught up. I have mountains of laundry to wash, gifts to distribute, phone calls to make, 469 unread emails to sift through -- and jet lag to deal with. I'm also uploading a full memory card of photos -- some of which are important to the Vive la France contest which ended yesterday.
It turns out I'll need a couple extra days to determine the winner of the contest. Tomorrow, I'll explain the prize package -- it's a good one!! And on Friday, I will announce the winner. Remember, each post you commented on between 6/17 and 7/12 earns you one entry. Thanks to all of you who entered, and extra thanks to you who commented on multiple posts. You really helped me feel connected, even when I was far away!
I hope you are having a fantastic day! I'm looking forward to reading your blogs in the coming days!!

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*using my best Forest Gump impression*
That's all I have to say about that!
I am so glad you're back! I missed you SOOOO much. It sounds like you had a fantastic time.
Take as much time as you need to get back to us. Laundry is a daunting task.
Welcome back! Having just gone through what you're going through now, I'll tell you to take care and pace yourself. Don't try to overdo it with everything because you need to just let your body cope with everything you've done the last three weeks. Sleep, rest, eat, do laundry, and wake refreshed and ready to get back to normal.
Good luck!
Jai

Glad you had a great trip! I wish I could've commented more often on your many fun posts, but I had houseguests for about half the time you were gone, so blogging hit the back burner big time.
And defintely give yourself plenty of time for all those re-entry tasks! Look forward to seeing you aroung the blogosphere in the near future.
Y-O-U-R-E B-A-C-K!!! I'm so excited!!!! Yay Nicole! I look forward to hearing about your wonderful journey, I loved all the posts while you were gone and look forward to many more to come!
I of course hope to win your lovely france contest but I don't envy the tough selection! Rest up and let all the comments and emails soak in :)
Bienvenue! At least while you're catching up you can daydream about the great time you had. :)
Welcome home. Winner or not, I enjoyed the posts during your absence.

Welcome back!!!!! So glad you are home and safe! Good luck with the unpacking :P
Glad you're all back safe & happy! The unpacking/reorganizing takes DAYS - make sure you relax and recuperate in there a bit too! :)
Glad you're back!
Should I take your contest announcement out of my sidebar now?
So glad you're back and had safe travels! Yay! Also glad to see you aren't buried under that mountain of laundry. :)
Welcome back!! France huh?! Never been! Maybe one day! Good luck getting caught up!!
Welcome back! Nice blog you have here. Thanks for stopping by mine between your laundry and all.
That post vacation laundry is a bi**ch.
I'm glad you're B-A-C-K-!-!-! Your blog is so much fun.
I love a chance to be away from my computer too; but then there's the downside of all the emails you've got to sift through...
Welcome back into the States!
Hi - new to your blog and it seems I arrived just on time!
Welcome back! :)
By the time you are caught up, you're going to need another vacation...
