Happy Sunday, friendly faces! 😀
It’s currently way too late on Saturday night, and I can’t for the life of me think up anything clever to say for this intro. Heck, I’m having a hard enough time trying to keep my eyes open, so if you suddenly see something along the lines of ghfajddddddddddddddddddddd pop up on the screen, then it probably means that I fell asleep and face planted onto my keyboard… hopefully without damaging anything important.
Thankfully, I don’t need to be brilliant today because there are plenty of other people out there to cover for me! Yay! Lots of great stuff to read in this week’s Link Love, so I hope you enjoy!
