Have I mentioned my niece Kit is a kick-ass tattooist? Check her out yourself!

Yes. We. Can. Did.

These beautiful women want you to go vote! Thanks, Cori and Alicia!

Thanks, Giovanna!

Thanks, Thea and Liam!

Thanks, Charlotte!

Thanks, Casey! (I think. This photo will haunt my nightmares.)

Thanks, Kristi!

Thanks Alicia and Steve!

Thanks, Matt! When you lost those four toes in that freaky skateboarding accident, we all thought “why? why?!?” Now we know.

Thanks, Debbie!

And finally, a special thanks to Nora, Rosie and their friend, none of whom look too sure about this whole thing!

In the last week or so, I have been working long hours, with infrequent access to email, too little sleep, and no discernible breaks in schedule.

Which is the only thing that can explain my omission of the adorable Kat and her proud papa, who should have been featured in the countdown for “Four.”

POW! Cuteness attack! All your base belong to Kat.

Sarah travelled all the way to Uzbekistan just to take this awesome picture for the countdown! Thanks, Sarah!

With less than 48 hours to go, I actually get a little time off today to rest up for working all day on Tuesday. Nap time!

Kerstin helps us welcome November with this cool film picture. Thanks, Kerstin!

Thanks, Sarah! (It’s like a tiny demolition derby!)

And from Irma (of the awesome Star Wars countdown photo) and Andy, we have our political pumpkins for the Halloween edition of the countdown…

Awesome! Thanks Irma and Andy!

Less than 120 hours until election day.

Some folks are raring to go, like Andrea.

Others are feeling a bit more chill, like Cori.

Thanks, Andrea and Cori!

Six, for some reason, was particularly popular. (Perhaps the excitement of having less than a week to go!)

Thanks, Minjae!

Thanks, Giovanna!

Thanks, KJ!

Thanks, Claudia!
