The Fall photo contest ends Monday to win an HP PhotoBook to be delivered to your door post-licking a la Mocha Momma. Who wouldn’t want that? Except that I won’t really do that because it would leave a stain on these beautiful fabric covered books that I have to give away and it would be brown, no doubt from the incredible amount of coffee I’ve been drinking of late.

So send in those photos (details here) to me by midnight on Monday in order to be in the running. This power to choose. It’s overwhelming me. I shall soldier on…

…mostly because I also have a new project that I’m working on with some of the most fabulous people on the planet. It’s exciting, inspiring, and I am not in charge. The most important thing here is that I AM NOT IN CHARGE. That appeals to me on a huge scale. Stay tuned for details later this week.

I’m probably going to do NaBloPoMo again, but I’m just not going to kill myself with pithy posts. Somewhere in there are bound to be haiku, shopping for awesome shoes, or testing new products.

Besides all this new brewing stuff going on, I have to write a bio for myself for this new project. True, there is irony in the fact that I’m hating the prospect of it considering I forced people to do the BlogHer 10 Second Interview. I’d love for it to be funny (Mocha Momma was born to a hot cuppa cocoa and some steamed frothy milk in the Spring of 1971…) or include something about my English Lit degree (and she is THRILLED that Beowulf is being made into a movie so that she can throw around her King Hrothgar jokes willy nilly) but I am tapped.

Who wants to write one for me in between those loads of laundry and fixing apple cider for these chilly nights?

Ok, fine. YOU can do it.
