| Nobody could pull off the chain necklace look quite like Jagz Yesterday was a somber day. But I promised myself I wouldn’t dwell on the sadness of losing Jagz and would instead delight in the fact at how many dog lovers there are out there. I know I sound like a Facebook Girl, but the outpouring of support and kindness on Fb from others shown in honor of our little (big) Jagzy was pretty sweet. I bet he’s running in awkward circles and letting out excited squeals in doggy heaven just seeing all of the love. I just hope he doesn’t get too excited (if you catch my drift) that’s not exactly the best first impression to make... |
Chris and I came home last night and hugged Harlow a little bit longer. When he tugged on the leash, I ran a little faster. When he whimpered to stay at the dog park longer, we pulled our hoods down further and tolerated the Chicago snow storm that was blowing in. And when he dropped a big deuce on the sidewalk I picked it up without a second glance. Chris really needs to learn how to hold it when we’re outside...
On a brighter note, the children’s book that Kam and I created is officially in print! Woo hoo! It’s not officially ready to be shared with the world quite yet as we have just a few more edits to finish. But it’s close, we’re talking a couple of weeks close.
So what next you might ask? We’re asking ourselves the same thing. When it’s officially time to start selling we’re thinking we’ll set up shop on etsy.com with a paypal account so orders can start coming! We’re also going to have it on Amazon, as well. One step at a time... I'm just truly so excited with the quality of the book. It's just really pretty, and I can say that because it's definitely Kam's images that make it this way. I really can't say enough about her illustrations, so I won't. You need to see it for yourself and you'll understand.
Since we are self publishers and not reality stars (yet) we are going to rely heavily on YOU and word of mouth. i.e. Facebook, Twitter, Blogs (follow me for updates!) Pinterest, ext. I’ve given Facebook some of the best years of my life, so I’m really hoping it will come through for me, as well.
My dream is to get this book in the hands of Mason Disick, then it would for sure go viral. And when that happens, someone please remind me ASAP to take down all of the bad shit I have ever written about the Kardashians. I’ve always liked Mason and Scott, however.
In the meantime, Kam and I will be knocking on the doors of every book store, baby store, and liquor store in Chicago and Austin trying to promote this baby. If you have any suggestions of stores, or places, or people, or anything random you’d like to share that could help us out please don’t hesitate to contact one of us or leave a comment below.
Kam and I are pushers and we’re gonna make this work. We don’t know how exactly, but soon enough you’re going to see “A Bottle For You. A Bottle For Me.” in a book store. I just hope it’s not like The Help where everyone is trying to guess who it’s about. Because I’d feel awfully bad if someday Knox knew I referred to his shit as a caramel chew...
Well, the man sitting next to me at Starbucks with extreme tourettes screaming "ELEPHANT!" "HIPPO!" "ELEPHANT HIPPO SQUIRREL" is telling me it's probably time to head back to work. Have a great Friday!
