The Weekend Starts Now

Wink and A Nod Thursday

I'm going to do a repeat. When I ran this post last fall I had a broken link and very few people saw it. So......without further adieu, this week's Wink and A Nod Recipient is Stephanie Faris.
Besides being a children's author, she's a freelance writer, enjoys dogs and loves butterflies.  Many of you are already familiar with Stephanie's blog but for those who aren't she ALWAYS has something interesting to say. If you haven't been to her blog, I highly recommend it.

Wink, wink, Stephanie.

So many blogs. So little time.

Vegetarian Protein And Wonder Woman

Do you use this product?

I just recently discovered it and love it. It has from 23 to 27 grams of protein and can be used in a hot dish or cold.  I toss in a couple of different cheeses, some veggies and put it on my salads.

What do you do for protein?

On a different topic we went to see Wonder Woman this weekend.  I was hesitant to because I didn't care for Batman VS Superman where she's first introduced. Then I saw Alex Cavanaugh's review and decided to give it a go.  I'm so glad I did.  On a one to five I'd give it a six.  It's a great action flick. And talk about a feminist super hero:)  Coming from an Amazon society, she just doesn't get the it's a man's world thing. Spoiler alert: If you're a Chris Pine fan there's a sad scene. Still highly recommended.
Thanks, Alex.

The Weekend Starts Now

Wink And A Nod Thursday

This week's Wink and A Nod goes to Ro at the In The Know With Ro blog.
If you haven't been to Ro's you're in for a treat.  The blog is a delight and always fun.
She features recipes, coupons, interviews with celebs and interesting factoids.  Best of all....she's an advocate for domestic abuse victims/survivors and homeless female vets.

Wink, wink, Ro.

So many blogs. So little times.

IWSG Wednesday

The first Wednesday of every month is officially Insecure Writer’s Support Group day. Members post about their doubts and fears, discuss struggles and triumphs, and offer words of encouragement to others who are struggling. 
My post this month is just for fun and--sorry guys--geared toward the female populace in the blogosphere.  Have you seen the book charm bracelets that are gaining popularity? Steven King. Nancy Drew. Agatha Christie. Etc. I decided I wanted one with my books. I discovered Robin Smetana  on twitter, contacted her and asked if she could make me a bracelet.  She had it made in twenty-four hours.  And she was such a joy to work with, professional, pleasant and energetic.This is what I ended up with:
Before I discovered Robin, I had ordered this charm. I liked it, but it was a LONG time from order to delivery. The cost was eight dollars including shipping and handling, which wasn't bad for one charm, but I would have needed twenty-five and a bracelet.  Yikes! Needless to say I was thrilled to find Robin whose prices were/are very reasonable....And I love her work.
What about you. Got any fun pieces of jewelry or novelties you'd like to share?


Answer to Yesterday's Question:
6

3 is the normal response.  For most (of) us, the brain doesn't process the word OF.  It's a sticky note that doesn't normally adhere to the brain.

We've got a smart crowd. Lots of you figured it out.  I fell in the 3 category, which I guess makes me normal--whatever normal may be:)
