So….
I have some good news
and some bad news.
and some bad news.
The good news is: 167 of you linked up and filled in blanks last week! That’s just pure insanity! So much fun reading your responses :).
The bad news is: the service that I’ve been using (Linky Tools) to link up Fill in the Blank Fridays has started charging for subscriptions, so apparently no more links unless I pay them $24. So….my options are: 1. You guys can link up in the comment section, 2. You can recommend another similar but FREE service that I should use, or 3. Someone can gift me a subscription – haha! OK…but seriously….if you know of any other services to link through, let me know!

OK…but seriously….if you know of any other services to link through, let me know!
(*UPDATE: Melissa let me know that there is another link up service called Simply Linked that’s free, so I’ll be using that next week. Thanks for being patient about having to fill in the blanks in the comment section this week though and thanks Melissa for the tip!)
OK, now on with the blanks. This week they’re brought to you by the lovely Leesh over at The Blarkness Chronicles. She sent over her blanks and I instantly loved the theme: magazines. I heart them and had a love of fun filling in the blanks this week (Thanks Leesh!). I hope you do too! For now, just link up in the comment section and maybe by next week I’ll figure something else out. Let’s play!
1. If I could only read one magazine publication for the rest of eternity, I would choose Lucky. I heart Lucky .
2. If I were to run my own magazine it would be about fashion and the fun of being a girl .
3. I buy my magazines (at the grocery check stand or via subscription) at the grocery check stand. I’m a total sucker for the impulse buy magazine. I had a couple of subscriptions as gifts, but I never keep up with them .
4. I prefer my magazines (in print or online) in print hands down. I’m a very kinesthetic and tactile person, so nothing quite beats the feel of a magazine in my hands as I drinnk a cup of coffee on a lazy afternoon .
5. The number of magazines I buy each month is probably 4 or 5. I usually end up buying one every time I’m at the grocery store, which is once a week .
6. My favorite magazine genre is (lifestyle, gossip, home, etc…) fashion, although I totally get sucked into gossip mags. I don’t buy them, but I always read them when people leave them in the break room at work :). Mostly I just like to see what people are wearing .
7. The magazines I read regularly are Sunset, Lucky, Cooking Light and Self. I also really enjoy Ready Made, Nylon, Vogue and Martha Stewart Living too .
Happy end of the week friends!

I’m so sad you can’t post your links. I LOVE your fill in the blank fridays! I’m such a night-owl I always stay up waiting for the questions…
Oh well. I answered anyway!

That’s so rubbish that they’ve started charging! More than happy to link up through here though – great blanks this week!

I’m a huge fan of magazine reading so I was excited to see this set of blanks. I can never seem to have too many subscriptions at a time!

Oh magazines, how I miss you!
One day I will read you again when I am bored out of my mind because my kids are grown and gone and I don’t know what to do with myself! 🙂

I’m a recent adopter of the Fill-in-the-Blank Friday and I’m glad you’re keeping it going! I’d be happy to donate a few bucks to the link tool fund if you end up deciding to pursue that route.

I rarely read magazines so my answers are terrible and boring this time around, sorry!

That’s a bummer!
Here’s my link-up!

Love this weeks blanks!
Open Up The Sky
Darn those people at Linky Tools. Don’t they know what they are doing to the 167 of us who link up every week?
http://courtneygordon.blogspot.com
Thanks for my Friday entertainment!
http://missredrunner.blogspot.com/2011/02/fillintheblankfriday.html
There is another linky thing that Carissa over at http://www.carissagraham.com/ uses for Miscellany Monday. I’m not sure what it’s called, but you should check it out! I’m not sure if it’s paid or not. Here’s my Fill in the Blank Friday post!

How about that, they get popular so they start charging.

Bummer about the linky! I don’t really read magazines any more, but this was still fun! Thanks for hosting!

How lame about Linky!
Thanks so much for this fabulous topic today, love it!
http://www.poodleism.com/2011/02/fill-in-blank-friday-magazines.html
Loveee these blanks! Happy Friday!
http://krissymichellechronicles.blogspot.com/2011/02/fill-in-blank-friday-magazines.html
Simply-Linked.com. I like it so much better than Linky Tools, too!
I look forward to this post every week! Have a great weekend!
http://0ncemorewithfeeling.blogspot.com/2011/02/fill-in-blank-friday.html
I’m down with posting it in the comment section.
http://belleinthenorth.wordpress.com
The post will be up later on this afternoon.
i’ll put my link in the comments when i do my post, but there IS a free linky thing:
http://www.simply-linked.com/default.aspx?action=logout
Check it out! (I got this from my friend Laura. She does a blog hop & had to find a new linky thing when the regular one started charging to. You can see wha it looks like on a post here: http://talkingaboutgirlstuff.blogspot.com/2011/02/girl-talk-hop-day-alone.html
I played along anyway 🙂 I am surprised they are going to charge for the linky tool because I honestly think most people won’t pay for it. It would have been a better business decision to keep it free and find some way to make money via advertising. Oh well. Happy Friday 🙂

I think there is a link tool called Simply Link that you may want to check out!
Here is my link! http://www.anewkindofnormal.com/2011/02/fill-in-the-blank-friday-4/
I don’t think it’s bad to link up in the comments. Silly that they’re charging though. Here’s mine.
http://katerees711.blogspot.com/2011/02/magazines

That is just crazy that it’s not free anymore, but it’s ok, I can link up in the comments! 😀

Here are my blanks all filled in!

I’m not a big fan of magazines, but I love Fill-in-the-Blanks Friday, so I participated!
http://mynewlifeasahousewife.blogspot.com/2011/02/fill-in-blank-friday.html
Aww, bummer about the Linky … I know there are tons of versions out there, just not sure what they are.

I love this theme since I love magazines 🙂

I, too, will miss the Linky! I wish I knew of a better option for you. I’m gonna pose the question to my Twitter pals and see if anyone has any ideas.
In the meantime, here’s my blanks post! I love my magazines. http://roxwrites.wordpress.com/2011/02/04/fill-in-the-blank-friday-magazines/
Sorry to hear about Mr. Linky…..:0(

This is a cute hop…but I learned that I subscribe to too many mags!!!
http://the-knight-life.blogspot.com/2011/02/fill-in-blank-friday-magazines.html
First time playing along! I think I’ll make it a habit 🙂
http://fromportlandtopeonies.blogspot.com/2011/02/fill-in-blank-friday.html
I like to think I am above reading gossip magazines, but somehow I always get sucked in. My mom buys them like crazy and when I’m at her house I always end up going through one or two.
All linked up…
