She's got my full too. I have 5 other fulls out, but she's now my #1 choice.
I read where she reads a book a day. Maybe the wait won't be too ridiculous.

But, you did get some sort of response. They sent it back. Many places wouldn't even do that. They won't even tell you if your ms ever even arrived.
According to QT, 55 logged queries, 26 requested fulls, 2 rejections (one helpful) and the rest remain unanswered.
It looks like she has requested fulls from 93% of the people she has responded to. If that statistic is the same for all 650 who submitted, then she has a lot of fulls to look at.
So far, she seems to be updating using her blog:

It has some extremely helpful business info on it, too.

Wow! Congrats. I'm in a weird place. I've sent out a couple dozen queries, and, oddly, the requests for full have come from a major publisher, a top-notch agent (who asked for revision and resubmit, which I just did), and a HUGE company with a publishing arm. Most agents, though pass. Can't figure THAT out 
Same query too.

Denise replied to me on her blog saying she'll be sending out rejections for queries she's passing on, and if you haven't heard anything after 10 weeks, you can follow up. 10 weeks isn't too bad considering how many she got swamped with in just those few days.
I sent mine in on 9/12.

So do I! It's refreshing to see someone so new and upbeat about the whole thing.
A polite, informative and helpful no to a full--within a few hours. From her comments it's obvious she read enough to nail what she'd like to see improved. I think this woman's a class act. Good luck to the rest of you.
If it makes you feel any better, Ruth, she replied to my query twice, said she received it twice. (I checked my sent box; it only shows up once.) At any rate, maybe she'll think it's her email acting up.
And she she still requested a full full from me me. : )

She's such a nice lady, I really doubt an email hiccup is going to deter her from requesting material she's interested in.
Honeysock, can I ask what day you queried?
Aw, thanks, ya'll. Alas, I'd reworked the query so who knows? It was an honest mistake.
Good luck with your queries.
