Included in today's awesomeness will be Fun Foto, Warm Fuzzies #2, and the October Pitch Pick.
I know.
That's a lot to pack into a Friday. But after all, it IS Friday, so the weekend is coming and I know you are all full of happiness and enthusiasm about that, so hopefully you will feel generous with your energy and wade on through so we can get back on track next week! Anyone who is in a hurry should feel free to skip to the part that's most relevant to them... no hard feelings... (although I did get up at the crack of dawn and slave over all the parts... ) (oops, did I say that?!) I promise, I'll try to be brief. For me :)
(This is the part where no one will point out that if I was technologically able in ANY way I would have long since figured out how to schedule posts ahead and then if my power went out it wouldn't matter and I would never have gotten behind in the first place. Thank you all for not mentioning that :))
So. Fun Foto. Technically, we're not doing it this week because
