Hello My Lovelies,
And welcome to SuperPost Sunday XVII!
Every Sunday for the past 17 weeks, I’ve tried my best to come up with humorous or witty intros to this series in an effort to entertain you…or bewitch you with my mystical words – whichever lol. And in all honesty, I think I’ve been doing a decent ass job so far – don’t you think?
Wow, how very uncool of me to have worded my question so that it answers itself, huh? Dammit, I did it again ;).
Well, I gotta’ be honest with you – I don’t have much of a punch for ya this week, so I hope you’ll forgive me for getting straight to the goodies. Either that or you’ll probably thank me for the shortER post lol.
I do want to say however, that I’m super pleased with how my Bring IT! series has taken off. I know there’s only been 2 of them so far but the conversations have been fantastic. So once again, a jumbo-sized thank you to all of you who have been so supportive and generous with your takes.
I also have a pretty interesting Valentine’s Day post and infographic for you tomorrow, so make sure to check back then. No worries, there will be no lovey-dovey talk of any kind.
It’s a Bird, It’s a Plane, It’s Griddy’s SuperPost!
Cheesy heading – I know. But convenient nonetheless.
So how ’bout that Griddy plane? Ain’t it the bomb?!
Oh, and there was no photoshoping of any kind my friends. It’s real, it’s not huge, but it flies :D!
Alright, enough said…
