OK, it’s Friday afternoon. I’m not feeling so hot (TMD, rainy gloom, sinuses). BFF Sarah came home from work early. And I’ve got less than 25 minutes to sneak in a blog post. Why 25 minutes (or less), you ask? Because I’m dying my hair! (Even we natural blondes need to rely on a bottle to get us through the lack-of-sun winter months. Don’t judge me!)
(My pics won’t post right, so I’m typing something here to fill up the space. La-dee-dah! Doesn’t JOSH WILSON rock?)
If I ever try online dating again, I should use this at my main profile pic. Love me as I am!!!
Being a woman on a schedule, Friday Faves is going to be ever so brief this week. So, why don’t you share some of your faves in the comment section? Share a post from your blog, someone else’s blog, an interesting news article, or a silly video (go ahead and Rick Roll us!)
Not only did DaySpring cards make me smile this week (read post), so did my friend Mel Brown, who send BFF Sarah and I some snazzy eco-friendly necklaces. Mine is green, of course, and BFF Sarah’s is a pretty purple. Doesn’t my necklace look fab with my 1000 Reasons perpetual desk calendar? (BTW, I got Ann Voskamp’s book for a friend AND the desk calendar at the DaySpring Online Store as a bundled deal cheaper than I would’ve paid on Amazon.) Don’t forget to enter my giveaway to win a $20 gift card to the DaySpring Online Store, which you can also use on (in)courage products. (Check out Shari’s giveaway, too! Shari’s ends tomorrow so enter NOW!!!)
Look at all the faves I managed to sneak into that intro. It’s time to wash out my hair dye (BFF Sarah says I’m five minutes overdue!!!), so share, share, share your faves so this post isn’t a total flop!

How could you possibly let out the secret that natural blondes sometimes need to resort to hair dye!?! You could be permanently (lol) dismissed from the National Federation of Natural Blondes or NFNB! What were you thinking!?!
Wow, stopping by your blog tonight is like sitting down for a fun chat! I read the whole thing and grinned.
And nobody, I mean nobody but the gal who does my hair, is ever gonna see me “in process.”
OK, my big fave thing this week: My word count tally as of today: I’m easily at 18k for book #2. Wow. I surprised myself. The Fast Draft (aka rough draft) is happening faster than I expected. Yes, it’s rough, but the goal is forward motion and falling in love with my characters.
Here’s a link to a favorite blog this week — in a heartwrenchingly honest way.

I could do links… but I’m gonna be totally shameless and link to my own “best of” post: http://www.jenwritesstuff.com/2012/01/around-internets-restart.html
Yes, I brought back Around the Internets! =) Enjoy the linkage.
Also, I get color help for my hair too, just because it’s fun and gives my natural shade a boost. No shame in that!
