Have you ever had one of those days where...

Hey y'all...



Sorry for the blog silence! I have been madly revising EVERNEATH 3: It's Everneath-iest, and touring with EVERBOUND. 



I'll blog about the tour later, but for now, I was thinking of starting a new blog series called "Have you ever had one of those days where..." and then fill in the blank. 



Today, I have two entries. 



1. Have you ever had one of those days where... you adopt a hairless dog?



Let me preface this by saying, I have wanted a dog for my entire life. But someone else in my life has been having a crazy love affair with our lawn, and was hesitant to see any sort of yellow patches. 



But for some reason, this week provided an opening in his cold cold black heart. Especially when we discovered that this little guy needed a home. 







I know what you're thinking: Is that a rat? 



No. He is a dog. A hairless terrier. Isn't he sweet?



I know what else you're thinking: Is he dressed like a clown?



Yes. He gets cold. What with no hair and all. 



Might I interrupt this blog post to say that y'all ask excellent questions?



So yes, we are now the proud owners of CHEWBACCA. Yes, we named him. Yes, the name is ironic. But I think it gives him something to aspire to. Plus, when Kid B was clearly pulling ahead of Chewy in a raucous game of Space Chess, the wookie threatened to tear Kid B's arms off. 





never make a wookie angry

Seriously, do not mess with this guy:



Even in his sleep, he is diabolical. And he sleeps A LOT

Last night I gave Chewy a bath, and then lathered him up with baby lotion, dressed him in new clean pajamas and rocked him to sleep. 



Yes, I finally have a newborn. 



2. Have you ever had one of those days where... you discover that you've been wearing keyboard instructions on your belly all day?



The other day, I came home and caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror. Check it out:







Notice anything unusual?





Yep. That is the instruction sheet for how to set up the keyboard to my IPad. 



Why couldn't it have been something cool like a map to atlantis?: 






Don't zoom in too close. Not because I'm uncomfortable with having an extreme close-up of mah belly, but because that is the actual map to Atlantis, and I don't want it to get out there. 



So... What's your day been like? Fill in the blank: Have you ever had one of those days where...



Or, you can just tell me if you think Chewy is the cutest rat you've ever seen...
