Knee Pads and Buckets

Since Sherry and I are pretty much interchangeable, here's a picture of us. Sherry has long hair, Laura's hair is red---see how well we mesh? LOLOLOLOLOL

Because we're In This Together, we've both joined the ranks of Contest Contestants. (Is that redundant? I'm worried I'm repeating myself.) Luckily for us, we aren't competing against each other (perish the thought!), we've entered two different contests, but we're both wishing we had knee pads for huddling over the hurk bucket.

Nervous?

Us?

Whyever would we be nervous? With our e-publisher closing doors, we're back to hitting the pavement, as it were. What's so nerve-wracking about that? Rejection? Seeing other entries that we know are Better Than Ours? Have another neurosis. What's a little insecurity, obessesion/compulsion, and angst amongst friends?

So, here are the knee pads and some extra buckets. (I call dibs on the pink one, because it will clash with my hair.) This is going to be a long, delightful, nailbiting year.
