It was a banner day around here on Saturday– could you tell? I had over 250 site visits on that day. Was it because everyone asked for unfettered computer time for Mother’s Day? Hardly. It was because I left a comment on this little website trying to score a free camera and printer, and a quite a few folks clicked through! So, if you’re new here, and you’re thinking you might stick around a while, welcome!

Now if you’ve already been here a while, then you know I’m paranoid. Because of the incendiary nature of Friday’s post, my first thought was that there were legions of coeds storming my site so that they could track me down and key my car (some more.) I truly had the heebie jeebies, because Greek eyes are everywhere, and someone somewhere will eventually send that post on to some national office and I will be blacklisted from every Student Activities job ever forever and ever b/c OMG she hates the Greeks!!! Except that if you actually read the post, you know that’s not true. It’s not that I don’t see some value in the institution. I just don’t believe that the value necessarily outweighs the crap. Several people agreed with me, but were not comfortable commenting and so they sent me emails. See?!? I’m not the only one afraid of sorors with a grudge. So, I had my panties all up in a wad worrying that my site was being passed around the Greek community and I was on some kind of hit list.

But then I looked at my site stats, and saw that I had over 160 people click through from Pioneer Woman’s site, it made me all warm and fuzzy inside. My first thought was that I would do some kind of a “best of Growing a Pair” summary post, so that the new folks could be dazzled and wowed by the awesomeness that is GAP. But a) that’s a lot of work, and b) I believe in Paying it Forward. So, I decided to link you forward to a super-duper cool chick that just started her own photography blog.

Introducing:

JOYFUL PHOTOGRAPHY by Sarah Long

For those of you keeping track, this is the second of such announcements from me– my good friend Meredith also does phenomenal photography. Seems I can’t swing a dead cat without hitting a friend who’s starting up a photography business. This is mainly because my friends rock. So you should go about getting your pictures taken by them.

Sarah is based out of Topeka, whereas Meredith is based out of KC. So, they are not in competing markets. So, I don’t feel even the least bit squeamish about sending you their way. Especially if either one of them would like to give me some photo tutoring for my new fancy camera. (Hint, hint.)
