Alton Brown is my hero. I'm so excited to read blogs about his protein and granola bar recipes. I was able to go find my new protein powder. Now, I hope I can stomach it. It has no sweeteners, natural or artificial.. so I'm feeling hopeful. :)

I was unable to attend April's photo meetup, in North Charleston. I didn't get to hug Liz goodbye! Waah! Best of luck, to you, and your husband, Liz.

I did post a couple "Space" funnies, as per the photo meetup theme.

I, finally, joined Post Crossing.

I went to the Post Office to, specifically, buy a stamp, for my fellow post-crossing friend, and they had ONE. No Joke. They only had one international post card .94 cent stamp.

They referred me to Oakbrook. Ugh. They will get more, but was there a surge of postcard stamps purchased, last week? LOL

My first post card is going to Finland. What do you think of the cards I found? CVS gave me $2.50 EC Bucks for that $.54 post card purchase! Full of win!

Heather and Ivy are hosting a give-away, on Home-Ec 101. Prizes include a cookbook or $100 American Express Card. Just pick the recipe, that you favor, and tell others, for multiple chances to win. Easy. You can do it! :)

My heart aches for Marcus Giles. So young to feel such pain. I hope he spends some time and just heals.. and holds those little girls, of his, close by, his side.. let them teach him how to think smaller.. and to just "be." Or maybe go out, with his brother, and get his mind off the palimony trial.

In the midst of researching and collecting lemon recipes, I had to shut down and reinstall my Vista. My software was not working and the weight had broken this camel's back. I'm back up, enough to blog and tweet. The rest will be installed, over the next week. I hope.

Whole Foods gave me two Meyer Lemons, just because I forgot them, and asked if they had some in, at the check-out.

I have to head back there, for the blueberry return, and to pick up a few things that I forgot.. like veganaisse! I can't seem to get whole buttermilk, right now, either. Must have been a surge run on that product, too. :)

Upcoming:

• New books arriving from paperbackswap
• Sending PostCrossing post card to Finland
• Easier menu, next week.
• Attempt one batch of HM Protein bars
• Research cheaper forms of packaging for books in swap
• Prep two books to set free, with Book Crossing.
• I won a $25 gift card, door prize, for a Friday night twitter party. Yay me.
• Need to figure out next internet deal to pursue.

See you next week, at several different events. :)
