Well, this week we spent most of our time working on Bobbledy stuff. If you’re interested, have a look over here for how we spent the bulk of our week.

There are a couple things we did that were Idiots’Books related. We’ve been tweetering up a storm:

Look at all those twitters! See how well we tweets! You can follow us at @IdiotsBooks or individually at @BobbledyDad and @BobbledyMom. We are finding it to be a colossal waste of time, but so is everything else we do, really.

We also had to do a few tweaks to our slideshow presentation/talk so that it is all ready for our Politics & Prose appearance TODAY (Saturday April 20th! At 3:30 pm! 5015 Connecticut Avenue NW, Washington DC!). And by “a few tweaks” I mostly mean that I had to remove Lily (sniff! cry!) from our little family portrait.

We are assuming there will be enough people there (1? 2?) who follow the blog well enough that they would feel their hearts rend a little bit at the old drawing, which features Lily in a nightdress with a walker. In deference to them and their hearts, we thought it would be best to let the old girl rest in peace.

But we also got to add in the new cover design by Chronicle for Ten Thousand Stories, which, frankly, made the sting of Lily’s absence a little less noticeable.

I would put a picture of it here, except Matthew read this post this morning and lamented that he had wanted to do a whole post dedicated to the making of the cover, so I don’t want to steal his fire. Maybe if you all stage a protest in front of the barn, he’ll get to it sooner rather than later.

So that’s the hippety-haps around here. We’ll TRY to remember to take pictures at the P&P event, but our track record suggests that we will only remember to do it if no one shows up, in which case they don’t make very compelling photos. So, look forward to no photos or bad photos. Set the bar low, folks, set the bar low.
