(Imagine me, cat-like, hanging from the ceiling by all four paws, my entire bloodstream filled with shots of espresso. Like, a demonic Garfield! Meowsies!)

Today is a hugely super dooperly enormous day here at the Blurbodoocery, one where everyone is running around slapping duct tape up here and over there, hoping that the energy emanating from our office doesn't blow the doors off the house. Although that would kind of be cool as it would give the neighbors something to talk about other than the way that Armstrong woman is always standing on the porch in her pajamas screaming COCO!! as that little skunk runs around the yard barking at grass.

Note: We no longer refer to Coco as Coco. She is always addressed as COCO!!, with lips pursed and a bit of a growl in the throat. It is also the most frequently used word in the house.

I am so excited and thrilled and DEMONICALLY GARFIELDED to announce that I have signed an exclusive development deal with HGTV.

H to the G to the T to the V.

HGTV!

You can see me here! And here is the official press release.

I am joining the HGTV talent family, as they call it, and I could not be more over the moon. I'm all the way to Jupiter. The air is very thin and dry up here.

There are a lot of projects and ideas in my life that I've wanted to develop but haven't had the resources to do so, and HGTV is the perfect partner to help me take this next step. I think what we're planning to do is going to be fun and spectacular and a fantastic addition to what I already do over here. And yes, I'll still be posting on my regular schedule here on this Internet Website Blog Thing. Y'all, I would never take Chuck away from you. Unless you started upholstering your couch in denim, and I'd be all, hmm....

I cannot wait to take you all along for this exhilarating ride! Meowsies!

Many thanks to Katie Granju for her stalwart support and role in the project development (you can find her on Twitter at @kgranju). I can't gush enough about her vision and wisdom. Also, it's great to know that I have someone in Knoxville who can buy me a bourbon.

Now, back to hanging from the ceiling!
