Victor: Why didn’t Ash come to our house when she was in town?
me: Your guess is as good as mine.
Victor: Because she hates you?
me: Why are your guesses always so insulting?
Victor: You said my guess was as good as yours.
me: Well, I was wrong.
Victor: Maybe she was on her way over when she ran over a bunch of violent dwarves and had to find some hungry bears to help her dispose of the bodies.
me: Okay…that guess was a little better than mine.

And now, time for the weekly wrap-up…
What you missed in my shop (tentatively called “Eight pounds of uncut cocaine” so that your credit card bill will be more interesting.):
This week’s wrap-up sponsored by The Hairbow Company, who makes kick-ass bows, headbands and flower clips for girls of all ages. Plus, use ”bloggess10″ as a coupon code for hair bows and you’ll get 10% off. Hairbows for everyone!
This morning I woke up and quickly wrote down this idea because it’s going to make a million dollars. It’s a leotard…with a TARDIS on it. A LeoTardis. Because it markets both to people who love Doctor Who and people who love leotards. Then I woke up a little more and realized that I was in that weird dream state where all bad ideas seem awesome. But now I keep remembering that I have some kind of great idea and then remembering that it’s actually a terrible idea. So I’m disappointing myself every few minutes.
This is my life.
Ps. Hang on…
Nope.
Still a bad idea.

This week’s wrap-up is brought to you by my newfangled friends at CoffeeTable, a (free!) iPad app that wants to be your bff and take you shopping—from the comfort of your very own couch / loveseat / pouf. Oh you want your favorite catalogs and exclusive sales and to buy your goodies in just two taps and a magical unicorn? It’s all here (maybe except the unicorn). YOU’RE WELCOME.
This week’s wrap-up sponsored by the amazing Crack You Whip, which is awesome even though it looks like their title is a typo. It’s not though. It’s the perfect combination of comic strip and blog and you’ll love it if you agree that alligators are people too.You should check it out.
It’s not Sunday but I’m doing my weekly wrap-up early so I can tell you that you are officially invited to a party in my bathroom tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon. If you’re a regular reader you know that I have severe anxiety disorder which makes me hide in bathrooms, so every time my friends’ band (Dr. Pants) plays in Texas they ask me to come and I say I can’t really do concerts because that many people together give me agita and then they huff but they understand because that’s what friends do. What friends don’t usually do though is to finally give up on you ever going to see their band play and instead offer to come to your house and play a set in your bathroom, where you are hiding. But that’s exactly what Dr. Pants offered to do. And they also offered to broadcast it live so that you could all come to a party while hiding out in your own personal bathrooms. Which is pretty bad-ass. It’ll stream live from this link starting a 4pm central and you need to play the video below to see what you’re getting into… Dr. Pants sings about Chewbacca, Robots, Abe Lincoln and my personal favorite…”If I were John Cusack“. They are awesome. You should come. Use #pantsdance to join in the party on twitter. Invisible party favors will be given out.

In non-related news, it’s time for the weekly wrap-up. Let’s get started, shall we? What you missed in my shop (tentatively called “Eight pounds of uncut cocaine” so that your credit card bill will be more interesting.):
This week’s wrap-up sponsored by those writer-folks at Just Plain Classy, which is actually neither plain nor classy, but “Just” is a dumb name for a web series about 6 friends from a small town who are reunited after 20+ years. It’s kind of like “Friends” except instead of being hot, young hipsters hanging out in a quaint coffee shop and contemplating their future, these are middle-aged rednecks hanging out in a dive-bar. So, it’s not really like Friends. You should probablyjust read it.
The Well-Read Wife: Twisted and Awkward. In a good way. Sometimes she's a sad panda. Also, there are book reviews.
The Sunday Bottles: Drinking our way to the bottom of things. (Wine,
improvised cooking, and Sunday night family dinner. What could possibly go wrong?)
Mama Bird Diaries: Completely overwhelmed by four kids. And the gold minivan is just embarrassing.
Artisan socks: Awesome socks for Mother's Day. Disgusting contest through May 15th!
Blogmosis: The guy who said "What if I do the opposite of what gym-freak protein shakers do?", ate real food, sat on his butt for a month and lost 20 lbs. Yes, seriously. You're welcome.
