    I may be completely blind, but, help!

    Is there a roundup post of the week 1 entry links? The postings keep saying “check out the links”, and I’d dearly love to, but I can’t find them.

    Thanks.

    Just so I get the timing right and because I work Saturdays. We have until Sunday at midnight to enter our entry? Not Monday at midnight which would be my choice because of my retail weekends…

    I get surly when I’m late! :)

This week’s theme is: “Your Surly Side.” Grrrr. [...]
