Friday links (updated)

Wow! I have a celebrity in the family! Blog-sister Boudicca of Boudicca's Voice has entered her Hurricane Part III post in the Carnival of the Vanities, which is hosted this week by Mister Snitch.

I was all set to play this week, had pictures of my adorable little self as a child ... But, NO, she had to Change the Format! She wanted pictures of us Right.After.Waking.Up ... Well, I'm lucky to get myself out the door in the morning with the routine stuff, like keys, laptop, employee badge, deoderant, etc. Changes in routine - not happening for me! SO, I scanned my stockpile of goofy pics, and found one that I am offering as a suitable replacement ... Shoes Attacks!!
