So this morning at six, Colleen Coble and I had an hour-long, live interview with Dan Manley from Kentucky. Right as we're about to go on, I squeal as I almost step on my daughter's hamster, who once again, has broken lose from his cage.
My dog (a terrier) starts a chase and Humphrey the Hamster disappears into the exercise machine -- and the dog is growling. Why? Why do I have to have Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom happening as I'm trying to promote my story of Bliss and Smitten, Vermont?
Why? Because quiet bliss is not part of my makeup, so that's why I write these worlds of heavenly calm. My life will never look like that. Humphrey got himself stuck in a garbage pail in the laundry room so I was able to get him back in his cage until the next breakout. The dog never actually barked loud enough to be heard on radio.
And the hour went by relatively quickly. I'd say that's enough excitement for the day. Now, I'm thinking Spa Pedicure...
I saw the Marilyn Monroe movie last night. Meh. I guess I knew the story so it wasn't that interesting to me, but Michelle Williams is fantastic. Still, it's really impossible to have Marilyn's sparkle, but she played her perfectly. I'm taking my kids to school and going back to bed now. Humphrey and I have had a big day already.
