Someday I will have a post that is not about puppies

...but today is not that day.

Please?

It's really, really cold here today, though we didn't get the snow that they'd predicted. I have no great plans for the holidays so spent yesterday and today catching up on things, working on final revisions to a couple of short stories, and trying to get the novel into some kind of shape so I can just write away on it in the new year.

ETA: Oh yeah, more new pictures if you want to see them.

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
