The Catching Up Post
In my head, it's been far less long since I've updated.
So, the puppy is still full of awesome:
He's actually bigger than that now, but I'm too lazy to pull the newest pictures off the camera (which would involve getting off the couch) so you can't see them until at least tomorrow.
For the first time in a billion trillion years, I have baked Christmas cookies, because it turns out if you're not in any kind of hurry at all, you can bake cookies and keep track of what a really fast puppy is doing more or less at the same time (whereas, say, sitting on the couch and reading a book is more or less out of the question). So far, I've made candy canes and bird's nests and chocolate cutouts (which are apparently my mother's secrit recipe because I couldn't find it anywhere on the Internets). I'd planned on making sugar cookie cutouts, but I ran out of butter--maybe this weekend.
Totally unrelated to anything above (and because I told Chance I would blog it), this is every e-book conversation I have ever observed:
PersonA: OMG! OMG! E-BOOKS!!!!!
Person B: Wait! Here are some actual facts and figures about actual e-books including their effect on other kinds of books
Person A: OMG! OMG! E-BOOKS!!!!!

Yike! Is that puppy ever cute!!! Is he very good at chewing? Also gnawing? And slobbering, has he mastered that yet?
Your cookies impress the hell out of me. I haven't done any, not a single one. Maybe this weekend, if I can get this damn, I mean lovely, book revised first.
Cheers!

Well, I haven't been doing any writing whatsoever lately so you probably win.
Blue is really not all that good at chewing. At least, if your standard is (as mine is) Rottweiler puppy chewing. He has hardly destroyed anything at all. However, it is only a matter of days before he can reach the counter and then--disaster!
